There are 5 new categories of procedure blocks.
The first category pertains to Particle Presets and includes particle related procedure blocks:
The procedures here take three arguments: the preset, time, and entity to execute at.
The second category is dedicated to Summoning Circles of different sizes
The procedures here take three arguments: a size option, time, and coordinate location
The third category relates to particle trails. It is used to set a player or entities particle trail.
For trail procedures without a time input, they will only function with "ACTIVE TICK" triggers.
The fourth category relates to VFX. Procedures here can produce visual effects without particles.
Such as the Quake which causes nearby blocks to elevate slightly.
The fifth category relates to on screen visuals. Procedures here affect the visuals of the player.
Such procedures include screen shakes.

How is the addition of the new features going? To make some elements of my mod I wanted to wait until this plugin was ready. It shouldn't be long right? I don't want to seem pushy, it's just that this way I'll be able to manage my time better: if I know that it will still take some time before it's ready, then I'll go ahead with the mod anyway. Thank you!
I am having a bug where my code will not compile, I used the forum but their only suggestion was that perhaps the plugin was causing issues. Does this error mean anything to you:
C:\Users\der\Desktop\caster - Copy\src\main\java\net\mcreator\caster\init\CasterModTabs.java:54: error: package CasterModItems does not exist
tabData.accept(CasterModItems.TOMEOF_LIGHT_BEAM.get());
This error format is listed many times for many different objects.
I would quite like some help as I love using this plugin and it would be a terrible shame to loose this workspace permanently.
I have narrowed it down to one error, for one item:
C:\Users\der\Desktop\Caster Repair Attemps\caster-1\src\main\java\net\mcreator\caster\CasterMod.java:41: error: cannot find symbol CasterModItems.register(modEventBus);
If this error can be solved, the entire issue can be solved as I can apply it to other items.
2024.3 and 2024.4 soon i hope ^^
