What mDirt is
mDirt is a free visual tool for creating Minecraft datapacks without coding. Its generators cover blocks, items, recipes, paintings, structures, and equipment, with guided fields and built-in validation. The app exports a datapack and resource pack into a folder for use in Minecraft. Structure tools can use Minecraft-generated .nbt files and allow details such as spawn rules to be specified. Equipment generation includes custom gear such as horse armor, with item textures, model textures, and armor points. The README lists full feature support for Minecraft 1.21.4, 1.21.5, 1.21.6, 1.21.7, and 1.21.8. A beta release adds text and potion generators; the potion generator outputs a /give command. That beta may have incomplete or unstable features, and text click and hover events are not supported. mDirt runs on Windows 10 or later and is available as an installer or portable ZIP. The installation guide calls for at least 130 MB of free disk space and recommends at least 4 GB of memory. The project is GPL-3.0 licensed.
