My mod is very big (779 mod elements) and after saving mod element my mcreator is freezes for 30-60 seconds. Please fix this in update or tell me how to remove freeze.

MCreator is able to handle mods with multiple thousand mod elements (many mods have that many mod elements). Please open a bug report on GitHub (https://github.com/MCreator/MCreator/issues) and attach your workspace ZIP so we can investigate why your workspace would have such a significant freeze after saving. Thanks!

Please update this plant system. I think it should have more extensive features.

when is this update coming to forge 1.21.4? not neoforge

I have a question: is there any way to spawn particles from "modelPart/bone" position for Java entities?

I do need to report a bug. If you make an entity model and make it however you want. use it for a flying mob. then do the setup for entity w/ flying as normal leaving everything normal.Then load and let the entity attack you, after it hits you, it bounces up into the sky like 20+ blocks. This is not a good thing. Cause now you;re flying mob that attacks you can't locate you and fight you again unless you have it super increaed.

I've done multiple things including changing models appearance on the model screen so it's close to the ground.
I've tried changing things and adding conditions and checks

Please fix this or have a feature if above is intended to limit how high the mob flies. Thank you.

I would make a bug report but I don't have time to set everything up and make it official and not sure where to begin or how. Hope this helps.

We can not handle a bug report with this sparse information posted under an unrelated article comment section that is not intended for bug report collection. You will need to prepare an official bug report on our issue tracker. Thank you for understanding.

If its github, no thanks. I hate that website. Please have a new location for bug tracking. Thank you.

Also it is related to this snapshot, obviously. Very related to the article as it even suggested to inform of bugs at bottom. You didn't say where.

I have a few suggestions that I would really appreciate it if you would please consider to add into some future updates:
Custom armor trim items/types,
Custom trim materials,
Deepslate type for dimensions,
Custom build limit for dimensions,
Crop mod element,
And custom…dust? like elements to a block (like now Redstone and string connect and change textures/models to match with the other blocks near it, also like rail blocks sort of, if you get what I mean)
Custom vehicle controls and vehicle setting in the entity tab.

Please consider these, it would make me (and probably a lot of other people) very happy, thank you!!
