vscatalog is a Visual Studio Code extension that dynamically loads JSON Schemas for the game Vintage Story, allowing modders to easily validate their mod configuration files.
This extension provides:
- 38 JSON Schemas covering key asset types:
entities,blocks,items. - Full support for complex elements like attributes, behaviors, classes, codes, and entity behaviors.
- Automatically loads and applies the JSON Schema catalog from the VintelliSchemas repository.
These schemas help modders ensure their JSON files are properly structured and adhere to the required schema definitions.
Once the extension is installed and activated, the JSON schemas will automatically apply to your mod project based on file paths and structure.
Make sure to organize your mod files into the correct subfolders for proper schema matching. Key folder structures include:
**/assets/<modid>/blocktypes/****/assets/<modid>/entities/****/assets/<modid>/itemtypes/**
For example, if your mod ID is mymod, the correct path for blocktypes would be:
assets/mymod/blocktypes/my_block.json
Certain files, like configuration files, require specific names:
assets/mymod/config/weather.json
Refer to the full schema catalog for more details: vs_schema_catalog.json
- No external dependencies are required.
- Ensure you are using a valid mod folder structure for the schemas to apply properly.
This extension does not currently add any custom VS Code settings.
None at the moment. Please report any issues in the VintelliSchemas GitHub repository.
- Initial release with automatic loading of the JSON Schema catalog for Vintage Story modding.
