Namespaces

Namespaces are used in conjunction with addon IDs to uniquely identify an addon.

Format

Namespaces MUST only contain lowercase alphanumeric characters, hyphens (SHOULD be avoided) and dots. They SHOULD be in a reversed domain name format. A namespace SHOULD specify the distribution source (i.e. com.example.repository) or the author (i.e. com.author.website) of the addon and optionally also the addon type (i.e. com.example.repository.mods, com.author.website.modpacks).

Canonical Namespaces

While an addon MAY have multiple namespaces, it MUST have exactly one canonical namespace, which is defined in the addon manifest. An API instance MUST also return the canonical namespace of the addon on the addon endpoint even if the addon was requested from another namespace. To check, if two addons are the same addon, their canonical namespace and their ID MUST be equal.

Default Namespaces

Each API instance has a default namespace. Addons in the repository of that API instance SHOULD have that namespace, as long as there are no ID conflicts in the repository. The default namespace does not need to be the canonical namespace of these addons.
