Coder GWI Connector

Edit your Minecraft server scripts directly in VS Code — powered by the Coder GWI Editor Cloudflare Worker.


Features

Feature Details
Live file sync Files load from the server on connect and save back on Ctrl+S
Full explorer Folder tree in the activity bar — click to open any file
Create / Rename / Delete Right-click files or folders in the tree
Execute scripts Run .java, .py, .lua files directly on the server
Auth flow Mirrors the browser editor — request access, operator approves in-game

Getting Started

1. Install the extension

Install from the VS Code marketplace or via .vsix.

2. Start a GWI session in-game

/coder editor start

This generates a session token shown in chat.

3. Connect from VS Code

  • Click the ⚡ Coder GWI icon in the activity bar
  • Click Connect to Session
  • Paste your token
  • Enter your display name
  • Approve the request in-game (/coder editor approve <name>)

4. Edit files

Your server files appear in the Files tree. Click any file to open it in the editor. Save with Ctrl+S — changes are pushed to the server instantly.

How It Works

The extension talks to the Coder GWI Cloudflare Worker using the same REST API as the browser editor:

VS Code  ←→  Cloudflare Worker  ←→  Minecraft Plugin (Coder)

Files are stored in Firestore during the session and synced in real time.
Sessions expire after ~30 minutes of inactivity.


Requirements

  • Coder plugin ≥ v2.3 installed on your Minecraft server
  • A running GWI session (started with /coder editor start)
