<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Blocky Renderer is a regular VS Code extension. It needs no other extensions, no Blockbench and no Hytale installation. It only reads the model, animation and texture files in your workspace.<br />
<br />
== Requirements ==<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! Blocky Renderer !! VS Code<br />
|-<br />
| 1.5.0 || 1.90 or newer (<code>^1.90.0</code>)<br />
|}<br />
<br />
* The preview is drawn with WebGL inside a VS Code webview.<br />
* Open a folder or workspace. The model browser, the model search for animations and ''New Blocky Model…'' work on the files of the workspace.<br />
* Remote workspaces (scheme <code>vscode-remote</code>) are supported for the automatic preview, the same as local files.<br />
<br />
== Installing ==<br />
=== From the Marketplace ===<br />
# Open the Extensions view in VS Code (<code>Ctrl+Shift+X</code>).<br />
# Search for '''Blocky Renderer''' by '''MutigerAffe'''.<br />
# Click ''Install''.<br />
<br />
You can also open the [https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MutigerAffe.blocky-renderer Marketplace page] and install it from there.<br />
<br />
=== With Quick Open ===<br />
Press <code>Ctrl+P</code> and run:<br />
<pre>ext install MutigerAffe.blocky-renderer</pre><br />
<br />
=== From a .vsix file ===<br />
If you have a <code>.vsix</code> file, run <code>code --install-extension blocky-renderer-1.5.0.vsix</code> or use ''Extensions: Install from VSIX…'' in the Command Palette.<br />
<br />
== After installing ==<br />
The extension starts when VS Code has finished loading. It changes these things in your setup:<br />
* <code>.blockymodel</code> and <code>.blockyanim</code> files are opened as JSON (default value of <code>files.associations</code>).<br />
* <code>.blockymodel</code> files get a JSON schema with hover help, validation and completion. See [[BlockyRenderer:New Models|New Models]].<br />
* A '''Blocky Renderer''' tab with a cube icon appears in the Activity Bar. See [[BlockyRenderer:Blocky Renderer Tab|Blocky Renderer Tab]].<br />
* Opening a model or animation opens the 3D preview beside it. You can turn this off with <code>blockyRenderer.autoOpenPreview</code>. See [[BlockyRenderer:Commands and Settings|Commands and Settings]].<br />
<br />
== Updating and removing ==<br />
* '''Updating''': VS Code updates Marketplace extensions on its own. You can also update by hand in the Extensions view.<br />
* '''Removing''': uninstall in the Extensions view. If you set <code>blockyRenderer.openFilesIn</code> to <code>editor</code> or <code>viewer</code>, set it back to <code>text</code> first. That setting writes entries into <code>workbench.editorAssociations</code>, and they stay there otherwise. See [[BlockyRenderer:Renderer Only|Renderer Only]].<br />
