Topic category: Plugins and third-party tools
MCreator Plugin Builder is a program that allows the user to easily create MCreator plugins, only requiring you to know how to code in Java. This concept has been attempted before, but none have so far been as simple to use as this, nor offering as many features.

Best forum post ever made
YIPEEE
Pinned the topic :)
When I click on the program it does not work :(
You need to export it in a folder (make sure raylib.dll is in the same place as the exe) and it only supports windows.
I know how this story will end... it's the same ending for every attempt of making something yo create plugins easily. 😅 However, you have the potential to change things!
I will not let history repeat itself! 😉
Beta 2.0 now adds support for java model animation templates!
Nice, can I also create generator plugins for MCreator (e.g. for 1.20) with this app?
Not yet. But you will be able to in the future. Though 1.20 isn't even released yet.
@NerdyPuzzle,
will Java related Thins like Mod Elements will be added soon?
Also can you add the possibility to import an alread existing Plugin? Because I'm currently developing a Plugin already.
Mod element support is possible and I will work on it if I find the time. About importing plugins, it would be possible, but it would take a lot of work to implement.
The raylib.dll is in the same place as the exe and I have windows.
Still does not work :(
