Flags

Side flags

These are flags, which specify, for which side a version, a file or a relation was made.

client This flag specifies, that the version, relation or file can be installed on the client side
server This flag specifies, that the version, relation or file can be installed on the server side

Version flags

These are flags, which can be set for versions.

instance This flag specifies, that this is a version of an instance addon. Instance addons represent instances of Minecraft itself, while non-instance addons have to be installed into an existing instance of Minecraft.

Relational flags

These are flags, which describe the relation between the addon and related addons or files.

required This flag specifies, that the related addon or file is required for the addon. If the addon gets installed, than any relation or file, which has this flag set, also has to be installed.
optional This flag specifies, that the related addon or file is optional for this addon. If the addon gets installed, the user should be able to choose, whether he wants to install the relation or file with this flag, or not. This flag can be used in combination with the following additional flags.

Additional flags

These are flags, which can be used in combination with the optional flag.

require <addon id> This flag specifies, that the relation or file requires the addon <addon id> to be installed.
companion <addon id> This flag specifies, that the relation or file requires the addon <addon id> to be installed and has to be installed, if the addon <addon id> is installed. In contrast to require, this is a two-way dependency.
exclude <addon id> This flag specifies, that the relation or file can't be installed together with the addon <addon id>.

With all these flags, <addon id> has to be an addon, which is defined as a relation. As long as there is just one addon with the id <addon id> defined as a relation, the namespace may be omitted here, even if it is defined with a namespace in the relation section. Otherwise, it is required, to also specify the namespace here.

Relation specific

These are relational flags, which can only be used for relations.

included This flag specifies, that the related addon is included in this one. This also means, that if some addon requires the related addon, it can also be installed with this addon instead.
incompatible This flag specifies, that the related addon is incompatible to this one. This means, that they can't be installed together in the same instance.
launch This flag specifies, that the related addon should take care of the Minecraft launch process. It can only be used, if both this and the related addon are instance addons.
