Edit Minecraft server scripts with the full power of VS Code — IntelliSense, extensions, syntax highlighting — and save directly to the server with Ctrl+S.
The extension wraps every GWI API endpoint so nothing is left behind.
Files open under the gwi:// scheme — full language support, IntelliSense, and all your installed extensions work out of the box.
Every save pushes changes to the server instantly. Works with VS Code's built-in autosave too — no manual sync step.
Folder tree in the activity bar. Create, rename, and delete files and folders from the right-click context menu.
Run .java, .py, and .lua files on the server directly from the tree view or editor title bar — no terminal needed.
Mirrors the browser editor's auth handshake exactly — request access, wait for operator approval in-game, then connect automatically.
Pre-fill token, display name, and poll interval in VS Code settings. Point the extension at your own self-hosted worker if needed.
The extension uses the same REST API as the browser-based GWI Editor — no extra infrastructure required.
