i had a cool idea for a minecraft mod where you would be able to create your own items and blocks in creative mode. i made a rough mockup here:

some features would be:

>choose if your creation is a block or an item
>make a name for your creation
>set the item or block type, like slabs, weapons, explosives, and tools
>give the creation properties depending on what it is (for example, what kind of item an ore drops and in which biomes the ore spawns)
>how you craft the item or block, if at all
>draw your creation as it will appear ingame
>possibly create 3d models for blocks. the model creator would resemble the one from 3d dot game heroes, if youve ever played it

i dont know any java whatsoever so if you think this would be possible then id be glad to have you help 

This would be near, if not completely, impossible, as resources load when the game is launched. The in game paint menu would also be almost impossible to code.

then perhaps an external program would be good?

There used to be something like that called MakeMyItem

Nope, the printer mod has it. But I think it could easily be made to cheat. People could make a sword 50 times better than diamond and have the crafting recipe as 1 block of dirt in the middle 

Ah. Still, the first point still stands.

Anyway, cheaters gonna cheat, who cares. They can do what they want.
