Vintagestory folder

Overview

Assets

You can find a lot of interesting and useful information by browsing the files in the assets 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.
