What would MCreator chatGPT do? Like give mod ideas?

I like if it could add textures or add mod elements. Or if I can generate mod picture with chatgpt and then add this picture to mcreator and it would convert it to a mod. Don't know how hard it is to do

There are some quite strong opinions for and against using AI for texture making

Would it be possible to reintroduce support for Minecraft version 1.12.2 in MCreator? Alternatively, could you please inform me which older version of MCreator fully supports creating mods for Minecraft 1.12.2?

Thank you for your assistance.

There is 1.12.2 plugin at https://mcreator.net/plugins that works with certain MCreator versions as listed on its page

Is there a way to check If a spefitic Item is on a Block, like a Furnace but It needs to detect If a Item that is cookable is on the block. And also, is it possible to send out a Redstone Signal to the Block I looked at when I used an Item?

You can use procedures to check the block above a certain block. You can also conditionally send redstone power when looking at block by e.g. checking nearest player to block and checking its look vector. It is doable entirely by procedures only

Coul you add the ability to use multiple different ammunition types for certain weapons, speciffically without having to duplicate the weapon multiple times for each type of ammunition it has, adding a new key bind to cycle ammunitions, and make a procedure that make them keep all durability and enchantments on the weapon.

You can do that using procedures. Default ranged setup is only an utility for convenience, you can use right click trigger and custom procedures for all sorts of weapon types

Will there be end biomes?

There is a plugin you can use for that

As soon as there is a universal cross-mod API for this without external mods core will also support them ;)

Have attribute modifier procedures been added yet?

not sure what you mean, if you mean creating custom attributes then use, if you mean editing attributes in procedures than also yes

I am referring to the fact that the attribute procedures cannot change the current value of an attribute (nor seemingly the max either), only the base value. They are able to detect the current/max, but are unable to change them as I need them to. I know that potions can change attributes, but those expire, and if I make my entity immune to potions, then those do nothing.
