[Bug fix, FG 1.18.2] A build error occurred when binding a custom GUI to a custom item. This is my problem.
Thank you for fixing it.

FINALLY NETHER AND CAVE BIOMES THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I could have a question you could add that trees in nether are generated with the new nether biomes I have tried a lot and did not work out and can trees be generated in caves?

I like mcreator very much.Could you fix the bug that the creatures created with the slime model do not change in size?

It is something you can do by procedures or code, slime model does not have slime behaviour bound to it. Simply put "spawn 2-4 smaller_slimes" on trigger of bigger_slime death.

It seems that custom plants still cannot appear in the lower world

Custom fishing rods still doesn't work.

Items with binded GUI cause errors too.

Please open bug reports on github, thanks

Can't wait for full release!

I hope the cave biome support will be expanded on throughout the snapshots. Id love to be able to change all the stone in my cave biome to what I want rather than just the ground.

How do we get vines and all the cave features in our new cave biomes?

Nice! I was really looking forward to this snapshot.

Neat!

Is the biome bug fixed in this version? If not I am outraged

Did you report it?

yes and it got fixed as "will be fixed next snapshot" (this is the 1st snapshot) https://github.com/MCreator/MCreator/issues/2570

Can you add support for cave biomes or nether biomes in 1.16.5? also maybe end biomes?

Is it possible to upgrade a mod to the official release through snapshots? I had a very good idea for a mod and I wanted to make it soon but i'm not sure whether I can import the mod i made in this snapshot into the next snapshot or to the 2022.1 release. Speaking of this, how many more snapshots are there expected to be?

The mod will take advantage of the new features added.

You can always update to snapshot, just open workspace in it and make sure to do a backup before.

Would that still work when the full release comes out?

Additionally, how exactly do you make backups?
