This is because nearly every feature of the game relies on the usage of '''JSONs''', which are text documents that utilize a flexible, easy to read format. You can open these files with any text editor, and with just a little bit of practice you can learn how to format them to avoid errors. The best way to learn this is to study the existing JSONs that are visible to anybody who has the game installed. To do so you'll need to locate the Vintage Story Assets folder, which you can learn about at the '''[[Modding:Asset System |Asset System]]''' page. <br> In addition, here is a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiADhChRriM 12 minute video] that will teach you why json is used, and the basic syntax, making it easier to understand the rest of the documentation. | This is because nearly every feature of the game relies on the usage of '''JSONs''', which are text documents that utilize a flexible, easy to read format.

If you're just starting out it | If you're just starting out, it's best to begin with a content mod, as most code mods simply extend the features of blocks, items and entities made from a content mod anyway. Once you've mastered content mods you can move onto coding if you want to add some really special things to your Vintage Story experience. | ||
