Followed the modding tutorial to the T and have my mod completed but am running into two assinine issues.

The mod is a content mod and loads and works in the actual game, but in Visual Studio 2022 the game refuses to load into any map and proceeds to tell me one of the json files could not be found when it literally knows the name and directory of the file because it's loading the file directly, there is no reason for this but it just does it anyway.

When I package the mod as a zip and move it to the mods folder it loads and I can get into a game and spawn in my entities using the spawn item.
