How to Set Up and Use Minecraft Dev

Minecraft Dev is an IntelliJ IDEA plugin that provides first-class development support for all major Minecraft modding platforms including Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, Spigot, Paper, BungeeCord, Waterfall, Velocity, Sponge, and Architectury. It adds platform-aware code generation, Mixin support, specialized inspections, and framework-specific project templates that eliminate boilerplate and catch modding-specific errors at edit time. Modders use it to significantly reduce setup time and avoid common mistakes across the fragmented Minecraft modding ecosystem.

Prerequisites

  • IntelliJ IDEA (Community or Ultimate) version compatible with plugin 1.8.x (2026.1+)
  • JDK 21 installed and configured in IntelliJ
  • Gradle installed or bundled with your modding project
  • A Minecraft modding project using Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, Spigot, Paper, or another supported platform
1

Open the IntelliJ plugin browser

Navigate to File → Settings (or IntelliJ IDEA → Preferences on macOS) → Plugins, then click the Marketplace tab to browse available plugins.

2

Search for and install Minecraft Dev

In the plugin marketplace search bar, type 'Minecraft' and locate the 'Minecraft Development' plugin by the MinecraftDev team. Click Install and then restart the IDE.

3

Create a new Minecraft modding project

After restart, use File → New Project and choose the Minecraft category. The plugin wizard will let you select your target platform (Fabric, Forge, Spigot, etc.) and configure mod metadata.

4

Configure MCP client integration

If using MinecraftDev as an MCP server within an AI workflow, add it to your Claude Desktop config. Note: the primary use case is as an IDE plugin, not a standalone MCP server.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "minecraftdev": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["minecraftdev"]
    }
  }
}
5

Build the plugin from source (optional)

If you want to contribute or run a custom build, clone the repository and build with Gradle. JDK 21 is required.

git clone https://github.com/minecraft-dev/MinecraftDev.git
cd MinecraftDev
./gradlew build
# Run in a sandboxed IDE instance:
./gradlew runIde

Minecraft Dev Examples

Client configuration

      "args": ["minecraftdev"]
    }
  }
}

Prompts to try

Example prompts for Minecraft modding assistance through the MCP integration.

- "Generate a new Fabric mod event listener for PlayerJoinEvent"
- "Create a Forge block class with a custom bounding box"
- "Show me how to register a custom crafting recipe in Spigot"
- "Write a Mixin that cancels fall damage for players holding a specific item"
- "Create a new BungeeCord plugin with a /hub command"

Troubleshooting Minecraft Dev

Plugin is not visible after installation

Ensure you fully restarted IntelliJ IDEA after installing the plugin. If the Minecraft project type still does not appear, verify your IntelliJ version is 2026.1 or compatible with plugin version 1.8.x.

Gradle sync fails after creating a new modding project

Confirm JDK 21 is selected as the Project SDK under File → Project Structure. Some Forge/Fabric templates specifically require JDK 21 to compile correctly.

Mixin inspections show false errors in the IDE

Make sure your build.gradle includes the Mixin annotation processor and that the plugin has finished indexing the project. Invalidate caches via File → Invalidate Caches and restart.
