mDirt
What it is
mDirt is a free Windows visual tool for creating custom Minecraft datapacks without coding. Guided generators cover blocks, items, recipes, paintings, structures, and equipment, with built-in validation for each type. The app exports a datapack and resource pack into an exports folder. Structure tools accept Minecraft-generated .nbt files and allow details such as spawn rules. Equipment creation includes options such as horse armor, item textures, model textures, and armor points. The README lists full feature support for Minecraft 1.21.4, 1.21.5, and 1.21.6/1.21.7/1.21.8. A v3.1.0-beta.1 release adds text and potion generators; the potion tool outputs a /give command, while text click and hover events are unsupported. That beta may be incomplete or unstable and its interface is still being refined. Windows 10 or later is required. Downloads come as an installer or portable ZIP; the guide specifies 130 MB of disk space and recommends 4 GB of memory. The project uses GPL-3.0.
