Topic category: Feature requests and ideas for MCreator
Hi folks,
We’re currently in vacation and I‘d use the laptop from my parents to develop Minecraft Mods with Mcreator, but my dad needs the laptop for his business. Now I only have my iPhone and iPad and with the iPad I can’t develop MCPE add-ons for Minecraft because Mcreator doesn’t exist for iPhone and iPad. If you can make a iOS/iPadOS app for Mcreator with developing MCPE Addons, it’d be really nice for me and all the other Minecraft PE Addon developers because many MCPE addon developers are using Mcreator and they’d use it on the mobile devices. And please make an Android version with Java support too. I like Mcreator and I wish me, that a Mcreator app for iPad and iPhone comes very soon.
Sincerely yours,

I suppose my doubt for this ever becoming a thing is the lack of Java support for iOS devices and the need for other softwares to run Java on most mobile devices. Yes, you could POTENTIALLY create MCreator using MobiVM but it would only work for making Bedrock addons/resources due to the fact that minecraft Java Edition is not really plausible on Android/iOS devices, meaning, MCreator for Mobile would rely on MobiVM in order to work, making it an unstable app.
My thought process is, you can modify Java edition on PC because Java exists on PC, but you cannot modify something on mobile if it can't exist on mobile. It is like trying to upgrade a Desktop computer with Laptop components, it just can't be done.
All this being said, a VERSION of MCreator could be created specifically for Bedrock addons but this would require the software, as a whole, to be redeveloped and recoded for mobile devices. In addition, it would be a very basic development software compared to what we have here as we can't really do most thing on a phone as we can do here.
There are a few workarounds to this issue. #1 online hosting. #2. Virtual machine. #3. Rewriting MCreator to work using android bundled java and amethyst (pojav launcher).
MCreator (all modding APIs that MCreator supports actually) uses Gradle which will not run natively
