Upgraded and improved, Nerdy's New Curios API plugin introduces new mod elements to MCreator that allow for creating Curios compatible slots and baubles that can provide both visual model rendering and functionality.
While Curios API must always be enabled in the workspace, it does not become a required dependency, remaining completely optional. When Curios is not loaded alongside your mod, your baubles only lose their Curios functionality and your mod is able to be loaded alone.
Java plugins must be enabled for this plugin to load
How to use?
First of all, despite being optional when loading the mod, Curios API must be enabled in your workspace so the Curios code can compile. You will need to do this in workspace settings.

You can then create a curios bauble and select the item element you want to turn into a bauble.

To render a model when equipping the bauble, you will need to make a java model the same way you would for an armor, and select the pieces so they can match the movement of the player model

Showcase

With the curios slot mod element, you can also create new slots for your baubles not included in curios. The texture should match the size of the slot. If not, it will be stretched and resized to fit.

Thank you for making this plugin. I'm making a simple mod in 1.19.2. I got everything working in MCreator, items show up, curios slots show up, procedures work as intended, etc. When I export the mod and add it to a game, the curios slots do not show when I click the button. When I check the config-server.toml in the save folder, the config does not have the slot registered. It only has the following, "#List of curio slot type settings curiosSettings = []" The items show, and everything else seems to be working. If I manually add the config-server.toml file from MCreator, then everything works. So my issue seems to be that the code in the config, or the config itself, is not exporting properly. Am I missing something simple, like a check mark to click when exporting using this plugin? Do I need to add the config-server.toml somewhere else before exporting? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Here is how I created a bauble that adds potion effects. Create a global variable (playerlifetime) and I used a logic (true/false) variable but can do whatever I think (prob idk lol). So create a procedure that detects if that var is set to true, do potion effect. Then, create one that is triggered by the curio being equipped and then set that variable to true. Then you can do the opposite for the unequipping.


How do I add a custom Curios Slot in 4.1?
