"A sword that sets mobs on fire." Type one sentence like that, tap Forge it, and about a minute later it's a real mod: a fire sword with its own original art and crafting recipe. No coding, no computer. Addon Forge is an independent, unofficial mod maker, addon maker and texture maker in one. It turns plain words into a standard .mcaddon file for the block-building game on your phone or tablet (sold separately), and it opens straight into the game on the same iPhone or iPad. No sketchy download sites. Parents: what it makes and how gems and ads work are all below. ONE SENTENCE REALLY IS ENOUGH • "a sword made of emeralds" → an emerald sword with its own pixel art • "a block that bounces you sky-high" → a bounce pad you craft and place • "a blaster that shoots green lasers" → a blaster with glowing green beams More detail (colors, powers, what crafts it) gets even closer to what you pictured. WHAT IT MAKES • Things you hold, wear or eat: swords, bows, wands, blasters, armor, snacks • Blocks you place: glowing lava blocks, bounce pads • A crafting recipe for each one • With Plus: custom creatures, from pets you tame to bosses Each forge makes one thing. For a set, tap Add a related item (uses gems), up to 3 things per add-on: ammo for your blaster, or boots to match your helmet. With Plus, a Full add-on pack makes many items and blocks from one idea. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a type and write your idea in plain words 2. Tap Forge it. Most creations take about a minute (full packs about 1½ minutes, armor about 2, Realistic art a bit longer) 3. Follow the numbered steps: Put it in your game (Download add-on), Make it better, What's inside, How to play MAKE IT BETTER • Customize: type a change (uses gems), or edit the name and stats for free • Repaint (uses gems) or Edit recipe (free) on anything inside • Tap the pen to rename your add-on, free Every creation stays on your Add-ons shelf to download again, share or combine. PICK YOUR LOOK Blocky: crisp 128px pixel art that fits right in. Realistic (Plus): smooth HD art at 256px or 512px; armor is Realistic for everyone. Swords, tools and blasters are drawn the way the game holds them. HOW GEMS WORK • A Basic creation costs 3 gems; bigger jobs cost more, and the price shows before you tap • 3 free welcome gems: your first creation is on us • Optional ads: up to 3 a day, 3 gems each That's up to 9 free gems a day: three Basic creations. ADDON FORGE PLUS (optional subscription) • 400 gems every week, enough for 133 Basic creations • Custom creatures, full add-on packs, Advanced mode and the Realistic look Addon Forge Plus is $4.99 per week. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. The subscription renews automatically each week until cancelled; cancel at least 24 hours before the week ends to avoid the next charge. Manage or cancel anytime in your iOS Settings. Plus gems reset each week and end when Plus ends. FOR FAMILIES • A creative tool, not a feed: no sign-up (no email, name or password), no chat, no profiles • No loot boxes, no gambling-style mechanics, no fake countdowns, and no gem packs: the only purchase is Plus • If a forge fails, its gems come back automatically • Optional ads only: an ad plays only when you tap "Watch an ad". Ads aren't personalized, and dating, gambling, alcohol and other sensitive topics are blocked GOOD TO KNOW • Works with the Bedrock (phone, tablet and console) version of the game that opens .mcaddon files, purchased separately • Does not work with the PC-only Java edition • Makes items, armor, blocks and crafting recipes • Addon Forge is an unofficial, independent tool, not made by, approved by or associated with the game's publisher Privacy Policy: https://addon-forge-addon-forge.vercel.app/privacy Terms of Use: https://addon-forge-addon-forge.vercel.app/terms INDEPENDENT AND UNOFFICIAL.
