Sometimes it happens that you were a real fan of some MCreator plugin and constantly used it in your procedures, etc. But suddenly, this plugin stops being supported, becomes obsolete, or the MCreator developers release an update with the same features as in this plugin. Then you have to choose two paths. 
1) You, among hundreds of procedures, will look for at least some use of this plugin (procedural blocks, triggers, etc.) to replace them with something else.
2) You realize that you will have to spend a lot of time searching, and you decide to leave this plugin, even if it is no longer relevant.
This is exactly the feature I need. I no longer want to rely on plugins, as their developer may stop supporting the plugin at any time.
