MCreator Plugin Builder - Plugin development made easy
Fri, 07/19/2024 - 12:32 (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


Variable types


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

@NerdyPuzzle

 

I think I found a bug:
It seems it doesn't generate the Java Code for the Mod Element.

@NOT_BLAINESTERS

It simplified a lot to make a plugin as overall you need to create a lot files manually if you don't use the Plugin Builder.

 

And if you plugin is large (lots of procedure blocks etc.) it will take some time.

Yes, I am creating a series of tutorials to create plugins for MCreator, and I use the Nerdy and Eclipse program.
My tutorials on Youtube are in French (I don't speak English), I will try to put some in the forum in English via Google translate.
My series will alternate between plugin testing and plugin creation.
The next video is about the Goldorion Toast plugin with how to change the code.
I'm going to see the following video for the categories and procedures (It should be released at the end of next week).

Someone was annoyed by real world, so he made minecraft. Someone else, was annoyed by playing minecraft, so he made a mod, someone else, was annoyed by making mods, so he made MCreator. Someone else was annoyed by using MCreator. So he made plygin to MCreator. And you, was annoyed by making plugis for MCreator, so you made plugin builder. That's nice 🙂
