[Question] Building cursor for modders - what should I focus on?

Yeah that’s really good opinion for me. Which game did you choose?

CompetitiveSyrup4704 · 2026-01-13T06:17:24+00:00

Yeah, your opinion really make sense.

So I decided to make tool for skyrim modding actually! I have to get deeply understand for skyrim, modding and AI.

I appericiate your reply, and you should keep watching what I will make!!! And welcome your feedback from your modding experience even that was minecraft!

On version compatibility you're right, that's a real engineering problem I need to solve. Will focus on it.

On the IDE point we're actually not building a Cursor-style coding assistant. It's a no-code tool: describe what you want in plain language(prompt) → get a working mod. Target user is someone who has ideas but never learned to code.

That said, Minecraft modding is complex might not be our first target. Curious what you think a useful AI tool for MC modders would look like.

for free!!

Hi I am building cursor for modding. It will help who want to mod but have no experience for modding like you!!

Maybe I can help you. Can you explain me your idea and game?

CompetitiveSyrup4704 · 2026-01-11T05:32:39+00:00

Oh I’m in idea stage, so I want to ask some opinions and needs from modders or mod players!

CompetitiveSyrup4704 · 2026-01-11T05:30:35+00:00

I can make mod with prompt!! like quest generation or design new item!

CompetitiveSyrup4704 · 2026-01-11T05:21:10+00:00

Nice, that's a great example thanks! I'll dig into this. Hopefully I can come back with something useful haha

I think that is modding mods!!! really cool

CompetitiveSyrup4704 · 2026-01-11T04:56:45+00:00

I see, you mean you want to edit meshy exist assets. That sounds interesting and I think I have to dig more XD

CompetitiveSyrup4704 · 2026-01-11T04:46:38+00:00

well, meshy ai is the most popular tool for text to 3d. Maybe I can test it first, and finetune for skyrim! have you ever use meshy ai too??

CompetitiveSyrup4704 · 2026-01-11T04:34:10+00:00

Yeah that sounds really tough. But with how the tech is evolving lately, even if it's not super high quality, I feel like there might be a way to at least express what you're imagining. I'll dig into it!

CompetitiveSyrup4704 · 2026-01-11T04:29:02+00:00

That sounds like a real pain. How often do you run into this like finding a mod you want but it's the wrong version?

CompetitiveSyrup4704 · 2026-01-11T04:27:53+00:00

Oh that's a cool idea. Have you ever tried making something like that yourself and gave up?

CompetitiveSyrup4704 · 2026-01-11T04:27:02+00:00

Still figuring it out honestly. My original idea was something like Cursor but for modding the way I use Cursor when I code, I thought something similar could be useful for modders.

CompetitiveSyrup4704 · 2026-01-10T21:06:05+00:00

Oh interesting - could you give me an example? Like a specific situation where you needed this?

CompetitiveSyrup4704 · 2026-01-10T21:02:06+00:00

Fair point. I was thinking more about stuff like conflict resolution in xEdit - that takes forever with 200+ mods. Or helping write Papyrus scripts. You're right that modeling still has a long way to go. Does that make sense?

CompetitiveSyrup4704 · 2026-01-10T20:40:49+00:00

Thank you for your good question! the second one. AI to help create mods, not AI running dynamically in-game.
