What it is
Bedrocken is a VS Code extension for Bedrock add-on development. It exports behavior packs, resource packs, and add-ons, and lets you switch projects from a designated projects folder. Open a manifest.json to link behavior and resource packs or add scripts. Autocomplete covers Bedrock identifiers and project content, including components, entity files, recipes, loot tables, localization files, and JSON assets. Commands generate files from presets and provide snippets for simple tasks. Create New Project makes a com.mojang project; its resource pack description defaults to 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 chosen path is registered to the item atlas and an item.json is created. Bedrocken is published by Xterionix under GPL-3.0. It is free, with a listed price of free, and requires VS Code compatibility ^1.87.0. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
