Bedrocken is a free VS Code extension for developing Bedrock add-ons. It can export behavior packs, resource packs, and add-ons, and lets users switch projects from a designated projects folder. From a manifest.json file, users can link behavior and resource packs or add scripts. Autocomplete covers Bedrock identifiers and project content such as components, entity files, recipes, loot tables, localization files, and JSON assets. Commands generate files from presets and provide snippets for simple tasks. Create New Project makes a com.mojang project, with the resource pack description defaulting to the behavior pack description. Generate supports texture_list.json, sound_definitions.json, item_texture.json, and terrain_texture.json. From a block.json, users can choose an item short name or texture path; the selected path is registered to the item atlas and an item.json is created. The extension is published by Xterionix, is listed under GPL-3.0, and requires VS Code compatibility ^1.87.0.
