Bedrock File Sync Extension

Sync Minecraft Bedrock behavior and resource packs directly from VS Code.

This extension was built for fast Bedrock add-on iteration. It lets you pick your local BP and RP source folders, save that setup per workspace, and deploy the project into the default Minecraft Bedrock development folders with a couple of clicks.

Features

• Full deploy for both Behavior Pack and Resource Pack
• Automatic project name based on the open folder or workspace name
• Workspace-scoped config saved automatically
• TypeScript support with compile-before-deploy
• AutoReload support through a local WebSocket server
• Incremental reload flow for faster script updates

Default Output Folders

The extension deploys to the standard Minecraft Bedrock development folders:

• Behavior Packs: C:\Users\<your-user>\AppData\Roaming\Minecraft Bedrock\Users\Shared\games\com.mojang\development_behavior_packs
• Resource Packs: C:\Users\<your-user>\AppData\Roaming\Minecraft Bedrock\Users\Shared\games\com.mojang\development_resource_packs

These paths are resolved automatically by the extension. You only choose the project source folders.

How It Works

Deploy

Deploy performs a full sync:

• Compiles the project first if TypeScript project is enabled
• Copies the selected BP folder to <project-name>_bp
• Copies the selected RP folder to <project-name>_rp

Deploy With Reload

Deploy with reload is optimized for script iteration:

• Compiles the project first if TypeScript project is enabled
• Replaces only the scripts folder inside the deployed Behavior Pack
• Keeps the rest of the deployed BP untouched
• Does not redeploy the Resource Pack
• Sends /reload through AutoReload

This is meant for fast logic updates while you are working on scripts.

Deploy With Reload All

Deploy with reload all performs a full deploy and then sends /reload all.

AutoReload

When AutoReload is enabled, the extension starts a WebSocket server on localhost:8080.

Use the command below in Minecraft Bedrock to connect:

/wsserver localhost:8080

After the game is connected, you can use:

• Deploy with reload
• Deploy with reload all

TypeScript Projects

If the workspace is marked as a TypeScript project, the extension looks for a tsconfig.json and runs a TypeScript build before deploying.

If compilation fails, the deploy is stopped and the error is shown in VS Code.

Configuration

The extension stores its settings in the current workspace. The main values saved are:

• projectFolder1 for the Behavior Pack source folder
• projectFolder2 for the Resource Pack source folder
• isTypescriptProject to enable compile-before-deploy

Changes are saved automatically.

Usage

1. Open your Bedrock project folder or workspace in VS Code.
2. Open the Bedrock Sync view in the activity bar.
3. Select the BP and RP source folders.
4. Enable TypeScript project if your BP scripts are built with TypeScript.
5. Use Deploy, Deploy with reload, or Deploy with reload all.

Notes

• Deploy with reload expects the target BP to already exist in the Bedrock development folder. Run a full deploy once before using it.
• The project name is taken from the current workspace or folder name.
• The extension uses the default Bedrock development paths on Windows.
