What Minecraft Creator Tools is
Minecraft Creator Tools is a free, open-source web toolset for creating, editing, validating, and managing Minecraft behavior and resource pack projects. Creators can begin with a mob, block, or item goal, choose beginner, intermediate, or advanced templates, or follow a guided path that requires no coding. The hybrid editor supports JavaScript, TypeScript, and JSON, with Minecraft type autocomplete and code snippets. A validation suite checks projects against rules and exports CSV or HTML reports. Files submitted to the website Inspector are processed locally in the browser rather than sent elsewhere. Projects and edits are kept in browser storage, which the browser may clear, so downloading backups is advised. The @minecraft/creator-tools command-line package requires Node.js 22 or later and can render models, blocks, mobs, and items to PNG, manage world settings, and package projects as .mcaddon files. The tools can also run as a local Model Context Protocol server for AI-assisted inspection, add-on generation, and validation. Chrome and Edge can open folders directly, including on mobile devices. The package is in pre-release alpha.
