Blocky Renderer

Blocky Renderer is a VS Code extension for Hytale modders. It shows models (.blockymodel) as a 3D preview and plays animations (.blockyanim) on the matching model. You can check shape, UVs and proportions without opening Blockbench.

It works like the Markdown preview: the JSON text stays on the left, the preview opens next to it. The Blocky Editor lets you change nodes in the 3D view, and every change is written back into the JSON text.
