Bedrocken
What it is
Bedrocken is a free VS Code extension for creating and managing Minecraft Bedrock add-on projects. It exports behavior packs, resource packs, and add-ons, and lets you switch projects from a designated projects folder. Opening a manifest.json can link behavior and resource packs or add scripts. Autocomplete covers Bedrock identifiers and project content such as components, entity files, recipes, loot tables, localization files, and JSON assets. Commands generate files from presets and provide snippets for routine tasks. Create New Project makes a com.mojang project, with the resource-pack description initially matching the behavior-pack description. Generate supports texture_list.json, sound_definitions.json, item_texture.json, and terrain_texture.json. From block.json, you can choose an item short name or texture path; the selected texture path is registered to the item atlas and an item.json is created. Bedrocken runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, requires VS Code compatibility ^1.87.0, and is licensed GPL-3.0.
