Modding:Basic Block
From Vintage Story Wiki
This tutorial should introduce you into the basic of adding a block to the game using JSON files. Down below you can find a complete list of all existing properties. If your block requires more than just a JSON file there is a tutorial for Advanced Blocks.
A Simple Block
Let's add a simple block to the game. In our example we will add a new wooden planks type.
The Texture
First of all we need a texture. We will add a spruce wood plank to the game using this texture: File:Spruce1.png.
Now we need to copy the texture to the game assets. Therefore navigate to the Vintagestory folder and place it in assets\textures\blocks\wood\planks\
