Flags are side-specific information about a [manifest](../schema/manifest.md), [file](../schema/file.md) or
|
|
|
|
|
[relation](../schema/relation.md). There are two types of flags: [manifest flags](#manifest-flags) and
|
|
|
|
|
[relational flags](#relational-flags). [Manifest flags](#manifest-flags) provide information about an
|
|
|
|
|
addon manifest, including for which side it is available and for which side it is an [instance addon](instance.md).
|
|
|
|
|
[Relational flags](#relational-flags) provide information about how a file or relation is related to the addon.

## Manifest flags
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `required` This flag specifies, that the addon of the manifest is required on the side which has this flag set,
|
|
|
|
|
meaning, that if the other side has this addon installed, this side also required this addon to be compatible.
|
|
|
|
|
If the other side has the `incompatible` flag set, this flags behaves exactly like the `optional` flag, but
|
|
|
|
|
`required` is the prefered flag in this case.
|
|
|
|
|
- `optional` This flag specifies, that the addon of the manifest is optional on the side which has the flag set,
|
|
|
|
|
meaning, that this addon is not required on this side to be compatible, even if the other side has this addon installed.
|
|
|
|
|
- `incompatible` This flag specifies, that the manifest is not compatible with the side which has this flag set.
|
|
|
|
|
If a side has this flag, this side will completly be ignored for the manifest.
|
|
|
|
|
- `instance` This flag specifies, that this is a manifest of an [instance addon](instance.md).

## Relational flags
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `required` This flag specifies, that the related addon or file is required for the addon. If the addon gets installed,
|
2021-11-14 00:25:43 +01:00
|
|
|
than any relation or file, which has this flag set, also has to be installed.
|
2021-07-30 13:42:43 +02:00
|
|
|
- `optional` This flag specifies, that the related addon or file is optional for this addon. If the addon gets installed,
|
2022-09-05 16:54:36 +02:00
|
|
|
the user SHOULD be able to choose, whether he wants to install the relation or file with this flag, or not.
|
2022-09-03 21:23:53 +02:00
|
|
|
- `included` This flag is only valid for relations. It 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.
|
2022-09-05 16:54:36 +02:00
|
|
|
Relations with this flag MUST have an exact version specified, a version range, which includes multiple versions
|
2022-09-03 21:23:53 +02:00
|
|
|
is not allowed. If this flag is used together with `required` or `optional`, the files of the related addon will
|
|
|
|
|
be installed like if the relation wouldn't have this flag, relations of the related addon will however be ignored
|
|
|
|
|
since AddonScript assumes, that they are already covered by this addon.
|
|
|
|
|
- `incompatible` This flag specifies for a relation, that the related addon is incompatible to this one, which means,
|
|
|
|
|
that they can't be installed together in the same instance. For a file this flag specifies, that the file can't be
|
|
|
|
|
installed on the side which has this flag set.
|
|
|
|
|
- `launch` This flag is only valid for instance addons. For a relation this flag specifies, that the launch configuration
|
2022-09-05 16:54:36 +02:00
|
|
|
will be delegated to the related addon. The related addon MUST also be an instance addon on that side. For a file this
|
|
|
|
|
flag specifies, that the file will be the launch file of this addon. On the client side the launch file MUST be a
|
2022-09-03 21:23:53 +02:00
|
|
|
[client JSON file](https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Client.json) which contains the client launch configuration.
|
2022-09-05 16:54:36 +02:00
|
|
|
On the server side the launch file MUST be an executable jar file, which will be executed to start the server.
|
2022-09-03 21:23:53 +02:00
|
|
|
This jar file will implicitly be installed by being moved to the root of the server directory. This flag always
|
|
|
|
|
also implies any effect of `required`.
