Minecraft Forge in MCreator 2025.2

Based on the community feedback, we have decided to extend Minecraft Forge 1.20.1 support to MCreator 2025.2 with a plugin too. Read on!

This plugin update not only adds compatibility with MCreator 2025.2, but also adds all features from this update that are technically doable to Minecraft 1.20.1. It also adds support for testing data packs from MCreator and for making Minecraft 1.20.1 resource packs.
