title: Package Tags

Overview

Tags should be added to packages to enable easy identification of different types of mods, games and texture packs.

They are only beneficial when applied correctly, so please use the following guidelines.

Tag Usage

• Building - For mods that focus on adding new materials or nodes to build with.
• Education - For mods or games created for educational purposes.
• Environment - For mods that add environmental effects, including ambient sound and weather effects.
• Inventory - For mods that add new inventory systems or new inventory pages.
• Machines and Electronics - For mods that include placeable machinery or electronic components which interact to complete tasks.
• Maintenance - For mods that assist with world or player maintenance. This includes large-scale map manipulation, area protection and other administrative tools.
