| ## MCreator and AI Generated Mods | ||
|
|
||
| Old and new 1.12.2 mods made with MCreator are highly not recommended for use no matter what kind of mod it is. MCreator in 1.12.2 is no longer officially supported and mods created with it have significant issues that will impact your game, such as unoptimized code, hardcoded IDs, NBT data breakage and difficulty to debug the generated code. [You can use this tool to detect MCreator mods](https://github.com/darklysteamgear/mcreatorDetector) if you want a quick way of finding out which mods are MCreator. <br> <br> |

serial comma needed here: breakage, and difficulty
can also use crash assistant - the modlist generated notes if the mod is mcreator.
| Mods that were created entirely using generated code from AI (rather than as a learning tool) are also highly not recommended, the mod's code will be highly varied in quality (often poor), it can also be either prone to crashes or downright placebos, especially if it is a performance related mod. <br> <br> | ||

| If you're new to mod creation and want to start making a mod, we highly recommend creating the mod from scratch instead to avoid complications with learning. |

perhaps a "how to learn how to mod for cleanroom 1.12.2" page should be created, with this linking to that?

american english has this as optimizations (s -> z) - prefer that over british english.
i believe it would be XP, not Xp, and with optimizations being plural it needs to be orb singular instead of orbs plural.

this uses "Cleanroom Launcher", elsewhere in this file it is "Cleanroom Loader" - should use the latter here too
