Modding:Getting Started
From Vintage Story Wiki
Types of Mods
There are 3 main types of modes one can create:
- Theme Pack: A mod that only modifies textures and shapes
- Content Mod: A mod that only modifies any game assets without programming
- Code Mod: A mod that contains code and/or modifies assets
Content Mod represent "assets" folder contains textures, sounds, models and other JSON files, that's just a catch all for blocks, configs, dialogs, entities, items, journals, music, patches, recipes, shapes, worldgen, and world properties.
Theme Pack is Content Mod but is allowed to use only "Affects Gameplay : false" assets.
Code mode is extended Content Mod that contains code written in C# that modifies the behavior of the game. These mods can also include all content allowed in a Content mod.
