Topic category: Plugins and third-party tools
MCreator Plugin Builder is a program that allows the user to easily create MCreator plugins, only requiring you to know how to code in Java. This concept has been attempted before, but none have so far been as simple to use as this, nor offering as many features.

@NerdyPuzzle
I think I found a bug:
It seems it doesn't generate the Java Code for the Mod Element.
Ok Soo how hard is it to make a plugin and dose this help with making any sort of API (did not do this ever)
@NOT_BLAINESTERS
It simplified a lot to make a plugin as overall you need to create a lot files manually if you don't use the Plugin Builder.
And if you plugin is large (lots of procedure blocks etc.) it will take some time.
wait is this a program used to make plugins or is it a plugin to make plugins?
It's a program used to make plugins
In version 1.2 blocky categories are not work! Procedures are not showing in categories!
this is fixed in 1.3
NerdyPuzzzle, can you add for output procedures new type DamageSource. I tested this and it worked!
I would love a little tutorial on procedure if you have the time, or if anyone have already done it
if not, for anyone interested, this youtuber is doing one at the moment, we can wait till he made it (in french)

nerdyPuzzle, thanks for the hard work mate :)
Yes, I am creating a series of tutorials to create plugins for MCreator, and I use the Nerdy and Eclipse program.
My tutorials on Youtube are in French (I don't speak English), I will try to put some in the forum in English via Google translate.
My series will alternate between plugin testing and plugin creation.
The next video is about the Goldorion Toast plugin with how to change the code.
I'm going to see the following video for the categories and procedures (It should be released at the end of next week).
Someone was annoyed by real world, so he made minecraft. Someone else, was annoyed by playing minecraft, so he made a mod, someone else, was annoyed by making mods, so he made MCreator. Someone else was annoyed by using MCreator. So he made plygin to MCreator. And you, was annoyed by making plugis for MCreator, so you made plugin builder. That's nice 🙂
This is MCreatorCreator. When will be plugin for this? XD I thing after mods for MCreatorCreator will be MCreatoCreatorCreator, that will help you make mods for plugin builder for mcreator XD
omg i didn t expect you to answer this topic doo89 xD, i saw your vid on goldorion toast plugin, nice work !
I will gladly wait for your next video on NerdyPuzzle plugin creator for the categories and procedure tuto then ;)
Im french too so i will definitly understand your video
Keep the good work :)
macOS version for silicon and intel??
