Player Games2 min readUpdated

Design weapons, tools, and utility items in Creator Hub, then use AI to generate the mod builds you need for both server and client-side play. The flow stays simple: describe it, download it, then playtest.

#Item types you can build

#Weapons

Combat items with damage, reach, and special effects for mobs or PvP.

Examples: Swords, Bows, Crossbows, Daggers, Maces, Tridents

#Tools

Mining and farming gear with harvest levels, speed, and durability.

Examples: Pickaxe, Axe, Shovel, Hoe, Hammer, Multi-tool

#Utility

Movement and quality of life items that change how players explore.

Examples: Grapple Hook, Glider, Torch Launcher, Depth Scanner

#Magic and Gadgets

Ability-driven items with cooldowns, particles, and unique visuals.

Examples: Wands, Staffs, Shields, Teleport Orbs

#Prompt blueprint

Use this as a starting point and customize to fit your item:

Create a new mod that adds a new variant of the Sword and other Tools such as Axe, Pickaxe, Shovel, and Hoe that is made using Lapis Lazuli. The items should be blue like Lapis, add crafting recipes for the tools.

#Spec checklist

  • Item id and display name
  • Rarity tier and creative tab
  • Stats: damage, speed, durability, mining level
  • Crafting recipe or loot source
  • Special abilities, cooldowns, and triggers
  • Particles, sounds, and animation notes
  • Server and client behavior expectations
  • Minecraft version and loader or platform

#Tutorial

#1. Describe the mod in Creator Hub

Enter your mod description in the prompt screen and follow the prompt guide if you want structure.

Choose BOTH or Client Side mod environments so your server and client builds stay aligned for textures.

Think in terms of a full tool set so names, materials, and recipes feel cohesive.

#2. Download the build

When generation finishes, click to download your JAR file or the source code.

Place the JAR in your mods folder and use the Modrinth link to manage your mod list.

Keep the source handy if you want to iterate on balance or tweak recipes later.

#3. Play with the new tools

Open the creative inventory and confirm the new tools show up and work as expected.

Test in a clean world or private server, then tighten the prompt and regenerate.

Capture a quick screenshot of the item set so you can compare textures as you iterate.

#Platform options

  • Client mod (Fabric): Best for single player and modpacks where custom textures and UI are important.
  • Server plugin (Paper or Spigot): Best for multiplayer servers where players do not need to install anything.
  • Server + client (Recommended): Use both builds to guarantee matching visuals, stats, and behavior.
