What it is
mDirt is a free Windows GUI for creating custom Minecraft datapacks without coding. Guided generators cover blocks, items, recipes, paintings, structures, and equipment, with built-in validation for their fields. The application exports a datapack and resource pack into an exports folder. Structure tools accept Minecraft-generated .nbt files and let users specify 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, 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, while text click and hover events are unsupported. That beta may contain incomplete or unstable features while the interface is refined. mDirt runs on Windows 10 or later, comes as an installer or portable ZIP, requires 130 MB of free disk space, and recommends at least 4 GB of memory. It uses GPL-3.0.
