Bedrocken is a free VS Code extension for developing Bedrock add-ons.
What Bedrocken is
Bedrocken is a free VS Code extension for developing Bedrock add-ons. It can export behavior packs, resource packs, and add-ons, and lets users switch among projects in a designated folder. Opening a manifest.json provides options 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 can generate files from presets and use snippets for simple tasks. Create New Project makes a com.mojang project; the 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 a block.json, users can choose an item short name or texture path; the chosen texture path is registered to the item atlas and an item.json is created. The extension requires VS Code compatibility ^1.87.0 and is listed under the GPL-3.0 license.
