As someone who is starkly opposed to the idea of generative AI, I've been thinking lately of whether MCreator counts a vibe coding. While I can't seem to find any direct proof on the website of the use of generative AI, the word "generate" is thrown around a lot when discussing the actual code of Mcreator mods. However, the main purpose of MCreator is to use code presets and put them together to make a mod, and if this is actually "vibe coding" then is scratch considered vibe coding too?
i dont think it is. on the same version of mcreator, the same set of procedure blocks will result in the same code. the user must put the blocks in the correct order to get a specific result. generative ai like for pictures typically uses a prompt and a random seed to generate a random picture, that may or may not be what the user wanted, and you can reroll till you get a "good" picture. so mcreator requires the user to understand the mechanics of whatever they are trying to do, which is why there are so many posts on both this site and reddit, asking "how do i make an item/block that does X" mcreator itself does not provide you with any solutions, it just takes the users solutions and translates it to code, by translating it in the most literal sense.
That is exactly what I thought, so thank you for ressuring me.
MCreator does not use AI but rather a complex code generation system that depends on user mod element configuration rather than prompt, so I don't think this comparison is viable
generative ai needs a complex amount of coding and wastes the Ram supply
mcreator is about as complex as minecraft is(which is much more impressive than Ai)and only eats your own Ram
