Rule Details

NOBOM101

🔴 BOM Detected
Severity: Error

What This Checks

Error when a JSON file begins with a UTF-8 BOM (byte order mark). Minecraft cannot parse JSON files with BOMs. Re-save the file as UTF-8 without BOM using a text editor.

How to Fix

Open the file in VS Code or Notepad++ and save it as 'UTF-8' (not 'UTF-8 with BOM'). In VS Code, click the encoding in the status bar and select 'Save with Encoding' → 'UTF-8'.

Technical Details

Data contains the path to the file with BOM.
