In case you want to edit the mod on your computer, to contribute or create your own mod, you will need MCreator.

You will find here how to download the mod and edit it in MCreator.

MCreator installation

  • Go to the MCreator website and click on Download MCreator
  • Open the .exe file, and follow the instructions
  • Launch MCreator

Loading the uncompiled mod

Once you have launched MCreator, you will be greeted with a home page, where you will see a New workspace button.

Don't click it. Instead, you will need to click Import from a file..., then you will need to select the .zip file you have downloaded from GitHub. (if you haven't downloaded it, click here to download it)

Once you have loaded the file, and waited for the gradle, you will see something like that :

  • Once everything is ready, click the orange file at the right to export the mod as a .jar file.
