Datapack Icons

Namespace Icons

Namespace folders (folders directly within data and assets) will change their icons to ender chests. Works only if there is pack.mcmeta in the same directory.

pack.mcmeta detect

Extension will look for pack.mcmeta in the workspace, and if it finds it, changes the icon theme from current to dp-icons. If not, the theme will change to a default one - either it will be the theme workspace was launched with, or defined in the settings.

Icons for load and tick functions

tick and load functions icons will change their icons to repeating and impulse command blocks accordingly, based on the values provided in tick.json and load.json files found in the workspace. This feature can be toggled to assign the icons not by the tick.json and load.json files, but by the functions names, which can be specified in the settings.

Subfolder icons

Json files inside namespace subfolders will also change their icons (e.g. data/namespace/item_modifier/some_folder/file.json will change its icon to a diamond pickaxe when this is enabled). Not recommended for large workspaces. Works only if there is pack.mcmeta in the same directory.

Christmas icons

Similarly to minecraft, extension will change all of the icons that have chests to their christmas variants during December 24-26. This feature can be disabled or enabled to work at any time in the settings.

Hide folder arrows

If you don't like these arrows near the folder icons, you can hide them by enabling this setting!

Datapacks

• Chest can contain things, such as folder
• Shulker represents that datapack can be carried between the worlds
• Advancement icon for advancements
• Chat bubble for chat_type
• Sword can deal damage that is associated with red color, that's why it's for damage_type
• You can go in the nether portal to go to the other dimension
• End portal and nether portal lead to different dimensions, so they represent dimension_type
• functions contain commands, such as command blocks
• An iconic item, such as a diamond pickaxe, can represent item_modifiers

• Observer checks things, predicates can also check for something
• We use recipes in the crafting table
• Name tag can represent tags
• diamond armor with a redstone trim is for trim_material
• diamond armor with a neutral color trim is for trim_pattern
• When we think of a minecraft world, we usually think of lots of grass blocks, so it represents worldgen
• tick functions run every tick, as well as repeating command blocks
• Next to repeating command blocks, we usually put chain command blocks, such as normal functions that are usually run by tick functions
• Impulse command block runs the command only one time after we activate it, like a load function, which we activate with /reload
• Structure block represents structure files
• Curly brackets are basically essential in .json files
• Lines of text represent .txt
• pack.mcmeta is used like a document for datapacks and resourcepacks to be used by minecraft, so it has shulker icon on it
• Ender chest is like a space storage, so it can represent the namespace

Resourcepacks

• Cyan shulker represents assets the same way as the data icon, the color is cyan because of this
• atlases are associated with maps that are associated with compasses
• Waterlogged fence shows a lot of blockstates
• Letter F for font
• Planet can represent lots of languages
• Blockbench default cube is a start of models
• Happy villager particle for particles
• RGB triangle is often a beginner task for shaders, .glsl devs
• Note block makes sounds that in resourcepacks and other places can be .ogg or .mp3 files
• There are some texts on the paper!
• Brushes draw the textures
• Painting contains an image, as well as .png and other image file formats
• Note on a paper represents sounds.json as some sort of sound configuration file
• Highlighted vertices on a triangle represent Vertex SHader files
• RGB pixel represents Fragment SHader files

Behaviorpacks

• "Play/pause" button is associated with animations or videos
• Spyglass is probably the closest thing to cameras in minecraft
• There are a lot of features in the game, tree is one of them
• Most of the mobs spawn from eggs and a dragon egg is the most iconic, so it represents spawn_rules

Bedrock Resourcepacks

• Armor can be an attachable
• A hollow block represents block_culling
• Transparent texture can be a material
• render_controllers determine what renders on an entity, so hemlet on a zombie's head represents it
• A slot is in the player's inventory, so it represents ui

Programming

Most of the programming icons don't need an explanation, but there are a few exceptions:

• We write something on paper scrolls, as well as in most of the file formats
• Markdown files usually contain some information, and letter i usually represents info
• Key, that can lock something valuable, represents LICENSE files
• database files can be represented by a bookshelf because it contains a lot of information
• Redstone block activates things, like an executable
• oak log :​P
• Nautilus shell for shell and console files
• Warped chest for src folder because it's the closest color to green
