This plugin is the replacement for the old native VCS (Version Control System) support by MCreator.
After 3 years of being a part of the software, it looked like the remote workspaces system is not popular enough to keep it in the core for any longer. The reason for this may be the fact that the integration only supported a limited set of features the involved system (Git API) could offer. So, as the maintainers did not have the time to dedicate to it, the system was migrated to a Java plugin for it to gain a chance to get more features supported faster than if it was included in the core software.
The plugin can be installed in the 3rd snapshot of 2023.2 update and higher versions by anyone using the system in earlier releases, and there will be literally no change in the workspace.
Releases for older versions are available on plugin's GitHub page.

Hi, I've been using this plugin for a while now and everything has been fine. However, recently, it has become WAY slower, to the point where a single commit takes up to 5 minutes!
When I click the sync button, it seems to get stuck on the 'Pull' stage of loading for a few minutes, before finally finishing as usual. My workspace is very large (1500+ elements), so I understand if that is the problem, but I don't understand why this didn't happen before.
This seems to be unrelated to upgrading to 2024.1, as it still became slow on 2023.4, even though I didn't update the plugin.
If you are using the Newest version i could understand it.
The newest version of Remote Workspace only supports 2024.1
If you want to continue using the 2023.4 Version, you can download the Remote Workspace plugin for that version at: https://github.com/Defeatomizer/MCreatorVCSPlugin/releases/tag/2023.4.1
When I try to update a workspace with vcs from mcreator 2023.4 to 2024.1 it just says regenerating code at the bottom and doesnt load the workspace or vcs.
