Comments

Have more Add-on features been fully implemented?

I don't think so. But I wish they were.

Wow a new snapshot! And 1.17 support? Very noice for the users of MCreator and Btw can we apreciate how much the staff of MCreator puts effort in this Program so we can cool mods.

Why im wirting these types of comments? Should i stop?

Definitely not, it is very nice for us devs to see the excitement of the users :)

noice

Yayyyyy!!

I assume 1.18 shouldn't be too far behind, as I don't think toooooo much changes in the way of coding (aside from world height change and ore generation changes[though I could be entirely wrong])

We already started to work on 1.18 support. Most of things didn't change, but everything related to generation (didn't check for structures) however) changed. Ores... well everything has been changed. Biomes don't use a surface builder anymore. DImensions also changed, but I don't remember what exactly.

Right. So for sure some work to be done, but from the sounds of it, not gonna be like a year down the road or anything :P

but who knows. It'll be here when its done 🤷‍♂️

Do you think we will have an early version without worldgen or something? I would really like to work on porting some of my basic mods to 1.18 D:

I don't think so, snapshots aren't published if they could break workspaces just because of some elements being not ported. This would mean moderators being tired to death with questions "why my workspace doesn't work". To be frank - MCR being worked out for 1.18 is already awesome news, taking the fact that previously it had some delays in terms of following recent versions. Giving some time for features being polished isn't really that much, and having whole content being correctly ported is also important to avoid some simple issues that would come from unfinished generator.

I actually just went into the github and compiled the latest 1.18 version and I could do some of the basic stuff I needed :D you do need to know SOME stuff to make it work though.
