== Overview ==
<code>%APPDATA%\Vintagestory</code> contains base game data while
<code>%APPDATA%\VintagestoryData</code> contains user data.
 
=== Assets ===
You can find a lot of interesting and useful information by browsing the files in the <code>assets</code> folder.  Many of the files are JSON file type, which can be opened and read with a simple text editor, such as Notepad++.  Many mods are as simple as changing one or more values in a JSON file.
 
=== Icons ===
You can find clean images from the game by browsing the <code>icons</code> folder.
Note that some items may have versions in both the <code>block</code> folder and the <code>item</code> folder.  For example, <code>tallgrass-medium-free.png</code> shows grass in its 3D form while <code>drygrass.png</code> shows the 2D item the player collects after cutting tall grass.
