How do I get the Vintage story SDK?

[Glifider]

I wanted to write my own mod. I found information on the Internet that I need vintagestory.api.ddl, and it is located in the vintage story SDK folder. And I have a question where to get it.

Welcome to the forum, Glifider.

What kind of mod would you like to make?

Simple content mods can be done with only a text and code editor. The wiki has great tutorials to get you started: https://wiki.vintagestory.at/Modding:Content_Mods

Models can be created with the Vintage Story Model Creator: https://github.com/anegostudios/vsmodelcreator/releases/tag/18Sep2024 - https://wiki.vintagestory.at/index.php/Modding:VS_Model_Creator

Code mods require a few more steps: https://wiki.vintagestory.at/Modding:Preparing_For_Code_Mods

If you want to look into dll files (with the default game ones located in [Vintage Story installation]\Mods) you can use: https://github.com/dnSpy/dnSpy/releases - https://github.com/icsharpcode/ILSpy/releases

Hi, first of all, thanks for your reply. Secondly, I would like to write a mod like "Extra Info" that will display information about the animal I am targeting. How long the female will be pregnant and after how long the cub will grow up. I'm sorry for any possible mistakes, I use a translator.

 I LOVE that mod idea!   would love to know how long the females are preggo and how long until offspring will grow up.

Yes, it's a good idea, it's a pity that I don't know how to create mods.
