A complete list of all available properties
This is a mostly-complete list of available properties for items. To see an exhaustive list of properties, check out the [https://github.com/anegostudios/vsessentialsmod/blob/master/Loading/ItemType.cs ItemType] and [https://github.com/anegostudios/vsessentialsmod/blob/master/Loading/CollectibleType.cs CollectibleType] GitHub pages. Any value immediately underneath a <code>[JsonProperty]</code> label can be used within an itemtype file.

The variantgroups property allows you to define multiple variants of this item. All of them will have their unique pattern, which will be added to the item code.
An easy example would be a bowl, which can either be raw or burned:
<syntaxhighlight lang="json">
variantgroups: [
{ code:"type", states: ["raw", "burned"] },
],
</syntaxhighlight>
Meaning there will be two variants <code>bowl-raw</code> and <code>bowl-burned</code>.
----
It's also possible to define multiple groups.
<syntaxhighlight lang="json">
variantgroups: [
{ code:"state", states: ["closed", "opened"] },
{ code:"contents", states: ["empty", "cabbage"] },
],
</syntaxhighlight>
As a result you will have 2x2 groups, which will be added one after each other: <code>barrel-closed-empty</code>, <code>barrel-closed-cabbage</code>, <code>barrel-opened-empty</code> and <code>barrel-opened-cabbage</code>.
----
Additionally it is possible to refer to external lists (used for blocks) that are found in the worldproperties folder, such as <code>block/rock</code>, which contains all states of all rock types. This used for <code>gravel</code>, <code>sand</code> and <code>rock</code>. It's a good way to keep everything organized:
<syntaxhighlight lang="json">
variantgroups: [
{ loadFromProperties: "block/rock" },
],
</syntaxhighlight>
Here is a full list of all groups and their variants (you can also find them in the <code>assets/worldproperties</code> folder):
{{:json:block:worldvariantgroups}}
----
Furthermore there are other ways of combining groups together. So far we covered the default combination mode, which is <code>multiplicative</code> (the total count of variants is the product of all states). There are two other methods, Additive and SelectiveMultiply.
Let's take a look at the <code>additive</code> combination mode used in the flowerpot block:
<syntaxhighlight lang="json">
variantgroups: [
{ code: "type", states: ["raw"] },
{ code: "empty", states: ["empty"], combine: "additive" },
{ code: "flower", loadFromProperties: "block/flower", combine: "additive" },
{ code: "mushroom", loadFromProperties: "block/mushroom", combine: "additive" },
{ code: "sapling", loadFromProperties: "block/wood", combine: "additive" },
],
</syntaxhighlight>
The variants are <code>flowerpot-raw</code>, <code>flowerpot-empty</code>, <code>flowerpot-{all flowers}</code>, <code>flowerpot-{all mushrooms}</code> and <code>flowerpot-{all saplings}</code>.
<code>Additive</code> mode could also be called separate, since it defines a variant separate from all the other groups:
<syntaxhighlight lang="json">
variantgroups: [
{ code: "something", states: ["same", "different"] },
{ code: "type", states: ["raw", "baked"] },
{ code: "empty", states: ["red", "green"], "combine": "additive" },
],
</syntaxhighlight>
In this case, the result would be <code>same-raw</code>, <code>same-baked</code>, <code>different-raw</code>, <code>different-baked</code>, <code>red</code> and <code>green</code>
The third combination mode <code>"SelectiveMultiply"</code> which allows you to specify which variant groups you want to combine multiplicatively with. There are many examples of this in the clothing item JSONS, as shown below with the lowerbody asset:
<syntaxhighlight lang="json">
    code: "clothes",
    variantgroups: [
{ code: "category",  states: ["lowerbody"] },
{ code: "lowerbody", combine: "SelectiveMultiply", onVariant: "category", states: [
"aristocrat-leggings", "dirty-linen-trousers", "fine-trousers", "jailor-pants", "lackey-breeches", "merchant-pants", "messenger-trousers", "minstrel-pants", "noble-pants", "prince-breeches", "raindeer-trousers", "raw-hide-trousers", "shepherd-pants", "squire-pants", "steppe-shepherds-trousers", "tattered-peasent-gown", "torn-riding-pants", "warm-woolen-pants", "woolen-leggings", "workmans-gown"
        ] },
],
</syntaxhighlight>
The function <code>onVariant</code> specifies which variant group to selectively combine with, ignoring all other variants without it (in case some are combined additively).
Using this will result items called <code>clothes-lowerbody-aristocrat-leggings</code>, <code>clothes-lowerbody-dirty-linen-trousers</code>, etc.

    <td colspan="3">
In order to define properties for specific variants you can add '''byType''' to the property name. This allows you to define it depending on the type and always follows the same syntax:
<syntaxhighlight lang="json">
(property)ByType: {
"selector": property,
"selector2": property2,
...
}
</syntaxhighlight>
 
If the selector matches the name of the variant the given property will be used. Keep in mind that only the first matching one will be used (everything below will be ignored).
 
A slab for example has two variants ('''up''', '''down'''), which have different collision boxes:
<syntaxhighlight lang="json">
collisionboxByType: {
"*-down": { x1: 0, y1: 0, z1: 0,  x2: 1, y2: 0.5, z2: 1 },
"*-up": { x1: 0, y1: 0.5, z1: 0,  x2: 1, y2: 1, z2: 1 }
},
</syntaxhighlight>
 
The char '''<code>*</code>''' stands for anything. In this case it ignores the code of the item.
 
Furthermore this opens up even more possbilities for more advanced selectors like this one for doors:
<code>*-north-*-opened-left</code>. This will ignore the second variantgroup. Additionally ByType can also be used for child properties:
<syntaxhighlight lang="json">
collisionboxnbox: {
x1: 0, y1: 0, z1: 0.875, x2: 1, y2: 1, z2: 1,
rotateYByType: {
"*-north-*-opened-left": 90,
"*-north-*-closed-left": 0,
"*-west-*-opened-left": 180,
"*-west-*-closed-left": 90,
 
"*-east-*-opened-left": 0,
"*-east-*-closed-left": 270,
"*-south-*-opened-left": 270,
"*-south-*-closed-left": 180,
 
"*-north-*-opened-right": 270,
"*-north-*-closed-right": 0,
"*-west-*-opened-right": 0,
"*-west-*-closed-right": 90,
 
"*-east-*-opened-right": 180,
"*-east-*-closed-right": 270,
"*-south-*-opened-right": 90,
"*-south-*-closed-right": 180
}
},
</syntaxhighlight>
 
Since Vintagestory v1.8 it is also possible to use the variantgroup as a placeholder:
<syntaxhighlight lang="json">
variantgroups: [
{ code: "metal", states: ["copper", "tinbronze", "bismuthbronze", "blackbronze", "gold", "silver", "iron" ] },
],
textures: {
"metal": { base: "block/metal/ingot/{metal}" },
"wood": { base: "item/tool/material/wood" }
},
</syntaxhighlight>
