ok so basically, if u wanna change anything in the pack u gotta do the below. this is only local and wont affect the repo i have up on my site

first youll need mccreator itself
using an older version because newer ones dont have the fabric creator thingy, will migrate later

get the 2025.3 one from here
https://mcreator.net/download/all

then youll need the fabric generator, get the .zip file from here
https://github.com/Goldorion/Fabric-Generator-MCreator/releases/tag/1.21.8-2025.3-2.5.5

now that u have both files downloaded, open mcreator 
on the home page, press 'Preferences' > 'Manage Plugins' > 'Load Plugin' and put the fabric generator folder u downloaded here 

restart mccreator, a gradle error will prob appear, ignore dat shit 

ah watever u made another separate mod HAHAHA nvm
