Datapack Icons is a polished, Minecraft-inspired icon suite for the modern developer's workflow. Looking through Microsoft's behavior packs documentation, we took inspiration from those icons and decided to implement them in VS Code.

Icons

Dynamic Icons features

Workspace Detection

Want to use Datapack Icons only for Minecraft projects? When enabled, this feature automatically switches your active icon theme to mc-dp-icons whenever it detects a Minecraft project in your current workspace. It works by scanning for pack.mcmeta, Bedrock manifest.json, Beet or JMC config files. If not found, it restores your default icon theme. You can define a specific fallback theme in the settings or let the extension default to your previously active theme.

Special Function Icons

By default, .mcfunction files use the standard chain command block icon. Since functions usually make up the vast majority of files in a datapack, it can be difficult to tell your core logic apart from the rest. To help you visually prioritize important files, the extension offers several special command block icons!

Functions listed in your tick.json and load.json files automatically receive repeating and impulse command block icons.

You can also manually assign the repeating and impulse command block icons to any file, alongside three special crowned variants ( ) specifically designed to highlight your most important functions.

To assign a custom icon, right-click any function file and use the Datapack Icons: Set Icon menu. Alternatively, you can use the settings to assign icons by file name. For maximum precision, it is recommended to specify the direct parent folder name (e.g., subfolder/file) rather than using just the file name. GlobPatterns are also supported (e.g., *_setup, *helper*, or phase_[0-9]) to easily match multiple files at once.

Subfolder Icons

Due to VS Code API limitations, special icons can only be assigned to files directly inside a category folder (e.g., data/namespace/item_modifier/file.json). Enabling this option activates a workaround that bypasses this restriction, ensuring that nested files like data/namespace/item_modifier/subfolder/file.json get their specific icon rather than a generic one. Not recommended for extremely large workspaces. This requires a pack.mcmeta file at the root of the pack.

Namespace Icons

Namespace folders (directories directly within data or assets) receive an ender chest icon. This requires a pack.mcmeta file at the root of the pack.

Overlay Icons

Overlay folders (directories at the pack root registered as overlays in pack.mcmeta) receive a glass chest icon.

Christmas Icons

Similar to Minecraft, the extension changes all chest icons to their festive Christmas variants during December 24-26 ( → ). This feature can be disabled or enabled to work at any time in the settings.

Hide Folder Arrows

Hides the default expand/collapse arrows next to folder icons in the VS Code Explorer to make your workspace feel less cluttered.

Assets

You can find all the used (and unused!) assets during the development of Datapack Icons in our assets repo.

Community & Feedback

If you need to report a bug, request a new icon or suggest a feature, you can do that in our discord server or by opening a github issue.

Ports

Datapack Icons isn't just for VS Code! We've ported the extension to other IDEs. Keep in mind they will probably have fewer features than the VS Code extension due to different extension capabilities.

• Sublime Text port
• Zed port

We are also planning a JetBrains port and a Neovim port in the future.

Creators

We are FuncFusion - a small team of three:

SuperAnt_ - Project Lead. Manages the theme architecture, documentation, and promotional assets.

bth123 - Lead Artist. Designs all the icons and repository artwork, maintains the assets repo, and created a sublime port of this extension.

amandin - Lead developer behind all the code, and included this extension in his amazing extension pack.

Used By

We love seeing our icons power other creations! Here are some of the awesome projects that use Datapack Icons:

• Scythe — The dedicated IDE for Minecraft Datapacks and resource packs.
• cord.nvim — A highly extensible Discord Rich Presence plugin for Neovim (features a custom Minecraft icon set built on Datapack Icons).
• Snave Sutit — Personal developer website and portfolio.

If your project is not on the list, feel free to reach out or open a pull request!

Enjoy!
