# Creating Files In mcbCode, files store the source code, assets, and configuration data that make up a project. You can create new files directly within the project editor using the File Explorer. Supported file types depend on the specific project configuration and editor environment. ## Creating a File Follow these steps to create a new file in your project: 1. Open your project in the mcbCode editor. 2. Locate the **File Explorer** panel. 3. Click the **New File** button or icon in the File Explorer toolbar. 4. Enter the desired file name, including any relevant file extension (e.g., `main.js`, `generateforward.mcfunction`). 5. Press **Enter** or select the confirm action. 6. The new file will immediately appear in the File Explorer list and be ready for editing. ## Notes * **File Naming:** Choose clear and appropriate file names that match your project's naming conventions. * **Empty File:** Creating a file generates an empty document; content is not added automatically upon creation. * **Managing Files:** Files can be renamed or deleted later, provided those actions are supported by your current editor view and permissions. ## Troubleshooting ### File Was Not Created Ensure that you pressed **Enter** or confirmed the file creation prompt. Check that your network connection is active. ### File With the Same Name Already Exists mcbCode does not allow duplicate file names within the same directory level. Provide a unique name for the new file. ### Create Option Is Unavailable If the option to create a file is disabled or missing, you likely do not have edit permissions for the project. Only the project owner or authorized collaborators can add files. > **Note:** Forbidden character restrictions and directory path nesting limits cannot be confirmed based on current documentation specifications.
