Hmmm, there isnt a logic operator for the "Get Json Object Property" which limits this plugin in many ways. I tried to make a vanilla styled crafting system but without that feature I couldn't move on.

I don't mean to bother, but when I attempt to use the "Write text in the file and add a new line" I get an error about an unknown symbol for both the written part and the attempt at doing .newLine();

Any suggestions or fixes I can do to manually fix this temporarily if this is a bug, or am I misunderstanding something?

Greetings, I am trying to use it but it gives me this error: https://i.postimg.cc/qRFxM0Mm/0.png, the problem is that it is not referring to the project, the variables are named as local. Can you tell me how I can refer to the project please? I know how to do it manually but I don't want to have to do it manually every time I do a procedure. (Google translator)

Is there a way to delete lines from a file? If not, is there a different way to save persistent data in MCreator?

you propably should add .json5 support which makes it easier. CurseForge is floaded with mods where no description is present in config files. most of those mods are mcreator mods. .json5 allows to add comments.

you could try to add .toml support.
it's indeed possible with the Blocky system MCreator uses.
Since Players use NBTTags/Capabilities to make configs with your plugin this causes way to much issues on Client/Server side modpacks. i really recommend to add this so CurseForge is not Cursed anymore by MCreator mod which doesn't support anything. i'll probably make a post on request forum .. since there a few things which really needs to be changed.

Any potential compatibility with the 1.12.2 generator plugin?

I know many don't like 1.12 mods here but I want to make an addon for the newly released 1.12 port of MineFantasy that uses JSON files to edit recipes

Simply put, I want to use this plugin to make a recipe editing GUI for MineFantasy Reforged

Can I create a normal file or a MOD plug-in file that I am making?

Hey,
I think there's an mistake in File.mkdirs(); method.
File object is a directory and not a file.
As the result of this program creates a folder named file.json instead of file with json expansion xdd.

You can change it to something like:
File file = new File(filePath);
file.getParentFile().mkdirs();

Sorry, my small mistake.
Yes, file variable is file or directory.

But mkdirs() method is only directory so when you want to create file AND new folder hierarchy to it, it creates a folder instead of the file. In that situation it is a mistake, but you just have to add .getParentFile() before .mkdirs() to fix it.

I just read javadoc to be sure >:3.

I can't have this working. Anything I do (I also copy your tutorial) my config file is not created
Im using Mcreator 2021.2 - forge 1.16.5
