Essential Documentation

• CommandExecution.md - ⚠️ READ THIS FIRST - How to run commands correctly on Windows

Code Search Documentation

• QuickStart.md - More examples and quick reference
• CodeSearch.md - Complete guide to searching classes, methods, fields, etc.
• HierarchySearch.md - Finding class/interface inheritance and implementations
• Advanced.md - Power user techniques for complex searches
• Troubleshooting.md - What to do when searches return NO-MATCHES or too many results

Quick Search Examples

# Find class declarations
uv run search_code.py class declaration MyCubeBlock

# Find method signatures
uv run search_code.py method signature UpdateBeforeSimulation

# Find class hierarchy
uv run search_code.py class children MyTerminalBlock

# Count results before viewing (useful for large result sets)
uv run search_code.py class usage MyEntity --count

# Limit number of results
uv run search_code.py class usage MyEntity --limit 50

# Paginate through results
uv run search_code.py class usage MyEntity --limit 100 --offset 0
uv run search_code.py class usage MyEntity --limit 100 --offset 100

Game Content Data

Content

Content

• Language translations, including the string IDs
• Block and other entity definitions
• Default blueprints and scenarios
• See ContentTypes.md for the full list of content types

General Rules

• In the

  Decompiled

  folder search only inside the C# source files (.cs) in general. If you work on transpiler or preloader patches, then also search in the IL code (.il) files.
• In the

  Content

  folder search the files appropriate for the task. See ContentTypes.md for the list of types.
• Do not search for decompiled game code outside the

  Decompiled

  folder which is at the same level as this skill file. The decompiled game source tree must be there if the preparation succeeded.
• Do not search for game content data outside the

  Content

  folder which is at the same level as this skill file. The copied game content must be there if the preparation succeeded.
