35-area destruction

Please add an option for choose if the tool takes damage for each block destroyed with area or only for the selected block.

57-recharge Please add a feature for making weapons with charge, like boomerangs and spears.

58- mirrors Please add a feature for making an item reflecting. And also a reflection value, for making mirrors or shiny blocks

59- crafting recipe unlocking In 1.12 were added some tutorials on crafting recipes. These recipes aren't all unlocked when the player has the right materials: for example, the boat is unlocked when the player swim for the first time. So, when you update MCreator to Minecraft 1.12,can you make an option for customizing this?

60-banner custom mod elements If you can, please add a feature dor making that an item can be customized with banners (like shields). This can be useful for making custom banner beds, banner blocks, etc.

61-custom banner flags Please add a feature for adding more flag types (colored shapes, like the creeper flag made from the creeper head) for banners and their crafting recipes.

62-part brightness Please make a feature for making that a block is luminous... But not at all. For example, I want to make an ore that emits particle only from the ore, and not the stone... Like spider or enderman eyes... For making very cool ores that can be found easily on the darkness or coll night decorations!

63- more pulling textures

please add the option for guns for making more textures when it is shooting (like bows)

64 - block spawning
Please add a feature for specying which block will substituite the generated block (example: iron ores is generated instead of stone and this feature can be useful for sandy ores or gravel ores, like the Tinker's Construct mod)
65-item tick rate
Please add a feature for changing an item tick rate lile blocks.
66-common events
Please add a feature for making common events in a thing like the vatiable editor. Common events can be activated by normal events.
67-weapon loading texture
In vanilla 1.9 was added a new damage system for weapona based on timing. Can you add a feature for making that when the sword is loading the super hit it has a different texture?
68-dropper events
Can you make a feature for making custom dropper events for items and blocks? Like arrows, eggs, command blocks, etc.
69- bow-like guns (Jarglo33 True's idea)
An option for making guns being held like bows
70-no portal (Jarglo33 True's idea)
An option for making a dimension without making its portal. So you can enter in the dimension only with the "switch dimension for entity" event
71-improved switch dimension for entity event
Instead of the id you can choose a dimension like if you choose an item/block
72-advanced spawning
An option for mob that they don't spawn if there aren't the right conditions, like if an achievement /advancement is reached, an item is crafted, etc. Useful for making a Terraria-like hardcore mode.
73-more bullet types (Jarglo33 True's idea)
An option for making if the bullet disappears like snowballs or is not affected by gravity, like fireballs. And also for choosing the range of the gun.
74-when mob hurts entity event (Jarglo33 True's idea)
An event that is triggered when a mob hurts an entity. This event will be used on the hurted entity. It can be useful for making mobs like wither, husk, etc.
75-inverted effects
An option for making a mob have inverted effects, like zombies, wither, enderdragon, etc.
76-event target
Sometimes it's confusing making events that affect more than an entity, so it will be useful if when you are making an event for entities will be specified which entity will be targeted. Also, if multiple entity could be targeted, you can choose the target. (for example, in the event of the idea 74,for choosing if the mob that hurts the other mob will be affected, or the other mob. Useful for making vampires XD)
77-smart events tab
Sometimes for fixing a simple error you need to remake all the events, and it takes lots of time. An event tab like RPG Maker MV will make things easier. Edit, copy, paste, cut, select all commands and and undo/redo button will be useful.
78-when tool is broken (Tuki 812004's idea)
An event executed when the tool is broken. Useful for making pickaxes with multiple stages with different stages, like the Defense Block. Useful also for recrafting tools.
79-no plants in superflat worlds
For making plants don't spawn in flat worlds
80-custom world biomes
For making custom biomes appear in custom worlds (in the part that you select which biome spawn in the world there aren't mcreator biomes so you can't make worlds that have only your custom biome)

The thing I would add to the list is a feature to keep the item and block textures of different workspaces separate.

For decoration blocks (plants
Wed, 11/02/2016 - 05:31

For decoration blocks (plants) and igniters,

For plants, make a 2D Version of the plant and have it in your creative tab and set it to when it it is placed it is the original block and when broken it's 2D.

For Igniters, How about making the exact same igniter look and have you require to right click it to change it to the real igniter and the non igniter is in your creative tab.

Yeah that's all I have so far, hope it was useful

@#2 I agree, That would be a more conveniant option to keep everything more seperated. Especially if your using a different workspace its most likely for a diffferent mod with diff textures.

Could they add a custom sword
Sat, 05/13/2017 - 21:48

Could they add a custom sword attack range and custom RF consuming block/event ([RF=Redstone flux] equivalent to energy)

For the RF I think that can be used NBT tags. But there aren't features for NBT tags.

A lot of these things can
Sun, 05/14/2017 - 22:22

A lot of these things can already be accomplished in MCreator without coding or very little if you put forth the effort, meaning there being some challenge to making a good mod, not the mod creator carrying you through the whole process.

#3 a simple stack event for checking blocks to summon a mob is easy, here's a video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH2D70QafCw

#4 just make multiple creative tabs or separate ones for different things

#13 not sure what you want with this, but if you want to make a structure block just make a block spawn a structure on right click using events

#34 this will take some effort, but make a block check for the structure, like the golem video, too, when achieved the portal blocks spawn in the middle, not transparent real portal blocks, just normal blocks, then some events like "if stepped on > if in dem > go to dem" and mess with it until it works properly.

#35 a simple "when block destroyed with tool, > place structure" and make the structure air will remove land if you want the blocks after the destruction do a lot of check events to add checked blocks into your inventory

#39 making an item, with a "when clicked on block == jukebox > place block jukebox 2 > play sound (sound) > remove disk" and "when right click = jukebox 2 >place jukebox > play sound silence > give disk" basically this will create the illusion of putting a disk in the jukebox, when your really just spawning in another block that makes a sound and removing and replacing an item in your inventory.

#40 this was added in latest update <3

#42 you can use a "spawn particle effect" for this one, just make an item instead of a tool as a sword and you have a "when killed with item" option

#45 just make different blocks, for the Mcreator versions that correspond to Minecraft 1.8, the ID of an item, block, weapon, etc is modName:itemName. For 1.7.2 and before, I don't know. For the 1.8 ones just make the title of the modification you're adding to the mod into the second half of the ID you want for it, and the first half is decided when you export it and put a Mod Name for it. In the test environment, it's testEnvironment:itemName or something. You can see this by pressing F3 and H at the same time, then going into the creative menu. It should show the item IDs and/or numbers and NBT values.

#46 make a "when (blank) > remove (block) > Place (NewBlock with new texture, just give same name in game)"

#49 make structures like islands that spawn in the end with the ones you want or a structure (the ore vein) that spawns underground and doesn't clear blocks for air.

Hope this helped with some of your problems!

RE:A lot of these things can
Mon, 05/15/2017 - 04:42

Thanks, you have lots of cool ideas!

#4 I meant that some features can't be put in custom creative tabs, like eggs and igniters. I know how to do this with coding (I've done this with Mcreator 1.7.3) but I always forget to do it XD.
#13 In 1.10.2 was added a new block obtained only with commands : the Structure Block. With structure block you can import or export buildings and they are saved (if I remember well) into .json files. I think that exporting structures with structure block is the fastes way but MCreator is compatible only with schematics

@#9 You're welcome, glad I could help :D

#4 yes eggs and igniters can be added to creative tabs with simple coding, my apologies for I failed to Understand.

#13 I sure klemen is working on more models and schematic files for importation, but sadly these things take time so we must wait. :P

Tabula works fine and so does techne. Techne website is down but you can still download it from other websites. It still works good.
