MCreator
What it is
MCreator is free, open-source software for creating Minecraft Java mods, Bedrock add-ons, resource packs and data packs. Its visual interface lets users build many mod elements without programming knowledge. An integrated code editor provides syntax highlighting, autocomplete, formatting and breakpoint support. Asset tools include a texture editor, animation editor, mob animation wizard and sound manager. A built-in testing environment and Java debugger support Minecraft client and server work. MCreator Link connects Arduino and Raspberry Pi hardware with Minecraft through procedures, commands and an API. Community plugins can add generator types, procedure blocks, AI tasks and API support. The software runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, but internet access is needed during setup to download dependencies. The desktop app collects anonymous usage data, with analytics disablement available in modern versions. Support includes a knowledge base, wiki, user forum and issue tracker.
