MCreator Plugin Builder - Plugin development made easy
Wed, 03/06/2024 - 20:15 (edited)

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.


Disclaimer

This project is not official. It is not affiliated with the respective owners and maintainers of MCreator and Pylo.


Features

MCreator Plugin Builder includes support for various options. Here is a summary of most of its capabilities:

 

Procedure blocks


Procedure mutators

Global triggers


Blockly categories


Datalists


Translations


APIs


Model animations


Mod elements


Git integration


Overriding generator templates


Testing in MCreator



These are all of Plugin Builder's capabilities at this time. 

An example plugin project can be cloned using the link https://github.com/NerdyPuzzle/Example-plugin-project.git

The latest version of Plugin Builder can be found here

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!

Nice, can I also create generator plugins for MCreator (e.g. for 1.20) with this app?

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.
