Making mods with CreativeMode

Wait, I can just describe an idea and have it running in Minecraft minutes later?” Yes — and this guide will show you exactly how

1. Prerequisites (⏱ 90 seconds)

  • Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.5 already installed.
  • Fabric 1.21.5. If you’re new, grab Fabric; it’s an easy setup. Find more details here.

2. Generate your mod (⏱ 45 seconds)

Go to Create ► Mobs or Create ► Items.

For Mobs

Pick a base mob.

Type your wild idea, like “Turn a creeper into a shadow form that disappears instead of exploding.”

Click Craft Mob. CreativeMode’s AI cooks the code & assets in ~45 s.

For Items

Describe your item and what it should do. Make something like a water gun that creates a pool of water wherever you shoot it!

Click Craft Item and you'll have your mod in no time!

3. Download the JAR (⏱ 10 seconds)

When the build is ready, the download should start automatically! If it doesn't, click the link or check your mods folder. A file like shadow-creeper-1.0.0.jar lands in your Downloads folder.

4. Install with Fabric (⏱ 60 seconds)

Locate your mods folder

Windows: %appdata%\\.minecraft\\mods

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods

Linux: ~/.minecraft/mods

Drag‑and‑drop the JAR.

Launch Minecraft with the Fabric 1.21.5 profile.

5. Spawn, Craft, & enjoy (⏱ 30 seconds)

In survival, your new mobs should spawn naturally in the world!

Or for items, check your crafting recipes to see how to make your new items!

Open a Creative world and run /summon shadow_creeper ~ ~ ~. Voilà — your AI‑generated mob is alive! Or check the creative tabs for your new item
