MCreator 1.7.0 for Minecraft 1.10.2 is released. This update could also be called rewrite of MCreator as we have fixed a lot of bugs, cleaned up and documented a lot of code and added many new features. The list of them is so big I won't even list them here. Why not just read this article and see how great this update is?
To start with the most important thing, this MCreator got updated for Minecraft 1.10.2 but is capable of importing and updating any 1.9.4 workspace and most of the 1.9, 1.8.9 and 1.8 (all of them if you choose not to import events) and even most of 1.7.10 workspaces so you can work on your old projects but with new MCreator for new Minecraft with many new features.
Next important change is that we now support multiple biomes in single custom dimension. This adds option to make really cool new worlds instead of single dimensions. A mod contest based on this feature would be neat, wouldn't it be? ;) You can see this feature in the action in the screenshot below.
We have fixed fluids and now they work the way they should, you can set any texture for them and even define physical properties of your fluids. Now we use API of Minecraft Forge to create fluids. You can see this feature in the screenshot below.
MCreator now has a new tab in the interface - the code tab. Here you can find list of sources for your mod and edit them. The code editor was also improved. You can read more about the code editor improvements on Pylo's blog post. We have improved search and replace features, added new Minecraft code assistant, improved autocomplete and the overall look of the code editor. MCreator should also be faster as we now cache many resources and elements at the startup so they don't get loaded every time you want to make a new mod element.

We have also improved console error detection and added assistant messages that explain you the error and try to help you with fixing so for the most common errors, you won't have to dig through the forums to find the solution. We have also improved setup wizard for MCreator on Windows, added option for search bars on tabs, improved event creation dialog. The size of MCreator was reduced for 100MB on Windows. Animation maker for textures now has templates for common animations such as fluids, portals and fire.
Many bugs were fixed too. We have fixed famous gradle.properties lock bug, reobf failed bug, bug with Entity AIs not working, we have fixed custom trees generation fur custom biomes, delete all didn't remove variables and global events but now does. You can find all the bugfixes listed in the changelog below.
