About CreativeMode

CreativeMode enables players to create mods for their favorite video games without coding, starting with Minecraft.

Video games have evolved from fixed, finished products into living worlds shaped by players, developers, and pop culture. We’re taking that evolution to its next stage by giving every player the power of a game studio at their fingertips.

In just our first three months, we built the most powerful no-code modding platform ever for Minecraft and created a double digit percentage of all mods ever released. We're building the flagship product in an entirely new category of gaming tools. And Minecraft is only the beginning.
