Nerdy's New Curios API Plugin

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.
