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.

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

Me and my friend, we both having issues, mcreator seems adding a ";" in procedures here is the things: "For the effect : (${input$entity} instanceof LivingEntity && ((LivingEntity) ${input$entity}).hasEffect(JujutsucraftModMobEffects.SIX_EYES.get())) 
For the advancement : (${input$entity} instanceof ServerPlayer && ((ServerPlayer)${input$entity}).level() instanceof ServerLevel && ((ServerPlayer)${input$entity}).getAdvancements().getOrStartProgress(((ServerPlayer)${input$entity}).server.getAdvancements().getAdvancement(new ResourceLocation("jujutsucraft:reverse_cursed_technique_1"))).isDone());"
