Scythe

What Scythe is

Scythe is an IDE for developing Minecraft datapacks and resourcepacks. Drag-and-drop editors cover recipes, loot tables, biomes, and pack metadata without requiring raw JSON editing. The site describes real-time previews for 3D models, biome landscapes, and tellraw text. Its Monaco-based code editor provides autocomplete, syntax highlighting, jump-to-definition, and cross-file references. Scythe reads the local Minecraft installation to match items, blocks, tags, and commands to a target version. Users can search and insert items, blocks, and advancements, browse resource libraries, open level.dat, edit structure files, and manage world hotbar items. Datapack and resourcepack workspaces can be paired and kept synchronized. ZIP imports are detected by pack type; ZIP exports, world installation, and built-in FTP uploads are supported. Validation and previews adapt to the selected version. Recipe and loot-table generation and datapack validation are available. Early access is offered through Patreon.
