So i came back after a year or idk and i have a question is there a way to let me mod for 1.12.2 and still have all the new features? Like i downloaded the lates version thinking it would let me mod for 1.12.2 but it didnt wich (pls idk how to write wich, whitch) is ok but it would sitll have none of the new features so is there a way to have the latest version but still mod for 1.12.2? Also can i edit a mod of mine without having the .mcreator file (edit a workspace) Cause i changed 3 laptops and yea i dont have any of my workspaces.
You Can Install This Plugin: https://mcreator.net/plugin/64513/minecraft-1122-generator
Unfortunately you can't edit a mod, you have to have a workspace file
Wait, I found a possible solution:
First you need to decompile your mod. You can download some decompiler, or you can use some online (but these usually have some limitations or some other issues).
Now you have your decompiled mod, the main problem now is that all Minecraft names of fields, methods, and classes are obfuscated. You have to get MCP mappings of your MCreator and translate them manually or you can use for example mcpbot to getting the translated names. Also, there is a third most likely third option of using a tool that should do the work for you.
The final step is going to be most likely getting these files to MCreator. There are few places where you have to put them. Also in some locations you need .class files, and in some .java files.
The problem with this is (1) It won't come out the same and there would be hundreds of issues with the jar compression and (2) It will be a long process.
But you can try it, I'm not saying it's worth it, but if you really need the mod, then try it out
Oh thank you for the plugin but the other thing about the mods I won't do lmao. I just wanted to edit an old of mines to do it better but I can't so I'll just maybe remake it on latest version
Answering for your 1.12.2 question - you can make 1.12.2 mods still:
1) by downloading MCreator 2020.2 version
pros
cons
2) by downloading plug-in (this one) for 2021.1 version
pros
cons
Generally, I prefer using 2020.2 for now. Because this counter-intuitiveness is really frustrating at times. But if more people starts working on 1.12.2 plugin I mentioned, it will be finally good alternative.
Fun fact: I'm actually learning basics of Java to start developing this plugin a bit further :P I really like 1.12.2 version and it would be cool to make it available fully on newest MCreator.
1.12, unfortunately, has long been discontinued
Like Toma said, either way, if you want to use this version you are not going to receive support and many features will not work
