About the 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.

2024.2 version isn't showing up at all. Says it's fully loaded but I can't put it in my mod dependency tab.

UPDATE!! PLEASE READ! Make sure the zip ends with the word plugin. nothing else. mine accidentally save with a (1) at the end.

I have some bug at newest version (5.1 and mcreator 2024.2) that when i create a curios bauble it works fine at first, but when i make second item, first stops working (like i cant equip it in curios slot).

This is very helpful!!!!! :)

Hello I am new to coding and mod development but I'm trying my first mod I have made a 2d model of the curio I want and have made the modded item and when I have it in game it doesn't show up on the player if there a way to get a 2d model to render on the player or will I have to make a 3d model of what im trying to do

2D models don't render anywhere.

Ok I now have a 3d model but I can't figure out how to get it to render on the player is it possible you have a tutorial you could recommend me

Select it in bauble properties

When I go to bauble property nothing shows up is there a specific type of 3d model I need like obj or json

you need to put it in resources first. make sure you put all resources in the workspace resource tab beforehand. it also needs to be entity format (blockbench will auto export as entity if you use java entity preset + export)

Its it possible to loop each slots of curios? I would likely to check if Player inventory is empty include Curios.

i think theres a way to do that with return check. look it up on youtube first though since im really bad at explaining lol

I don't think so, since they kinda doesnt have slots, so i couldn't loop inventory with just "vanilla minecraft loop"

Is there a way to use the accessories mod with this in mcreator?

Thank you for all your great work, NerdyPuzzle! I have a question: would adding this plugin make the curios mod a necessary plugin for my mod? I was just curious as I was wanting to provide curios users with the option to put an item into a curios slot without making it a necessary mod.

So I am basically making a mod that adds vests as Vic's Modern Warfare mod used to do. I can't find any way to make a procedure that just increases armor protection. Also, for some reason the custom vest model, when on the body slot, does not show the armor behind it.

well you cant layer the armor slots if thats what you mean.

So, i wonder if there's any way to increase slots with in-game built progression? Like via procedures or player persistent variables, e.g. +1 slot for rings after using certain item or so.

Pretty sure there is a command for that provided by the curios mod
