# Flags
## Side flags
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.
These are flags, which specify, for which side a [version](../schema/manifest.md), a [file](../schema/file.md) or
a [relation](../schema/relation.md) was made. If a file has no side flags set, it will inherit them from the
[version object](../schema/manifest.md), while a version is required to have side flags set.
## Manifest flags
- `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](../schema/manifest.md).
- `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.
- `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
These are flags, which describe the relation between the addon and [related addons](../schema/relation.md)
or [files](../schema/file.md).
- `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.
### Relation specific
These are relational flags, which can only be used for [relations](../schema/relation.md).
- `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. Relations with this flag must
have an exact version specified, a version range, which includes multiple versions 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, 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.
- `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.
Relations with this flag must have an exact version specified, a version range, which includes multiple versions
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
should 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 should be the launch file of this addon. On the client side the launch file must be a
[client JSON file](https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Client.json) which contains the client launch configuration.
On the server side the launch file must be an executable jar file, which should be executed to start the server.
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`.

will also overwrite classes, which are already contained in the game jar, if they
are also in injected file.
### launch
`launch` can be used to mark the file as the launch file for a specific side. Files having this
install action can only have the `client` or the `server` flag, not both. If the file is client-sided, it
has to be a [client JSON file](https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Client.json) as specified by Minecraft
itself. If it is server-sided, it has to be a jar file, which is the file, that should be launched to start
the server. The jar file has to be moved to the root of the instance directory, before using `launch` on it.
Moreover, this install action may only be used with launchable or instance addons and there may be only one file for each
side, which has this install action, except all of them are marked as `optional`, in which case they are also
implicitly marked as incompatible to each other.
## Locations
Locations are specified as a relative path from the Minecraft directory to which the file should be installed.

# Instance addons
Instance addons represent instances of Minecraft itself, while non-instance addons
have to be installed into an existing instance of Minecraft. An instance addon requires
a launch configuration for each side for which it is available. This means, that an instance
addon must have exactly one [file](../schema/file.md) or [relation](../schema/relation.md)
for each side, which has the `launch` [flag](flags.md) flag. A file can not have this flag
on both sides, since the file type is different for each side, while a relation may have
it on both sides, as long as the related addon is itself an instance addon for both sides.
## Instance addons as relations
If an instance addon is a relation of another instance addon, each side of that
relation requires to have at least one of the [flags](flags.md) `included`, `launch`
or `incompatible`. Non-instance addons may have instance addons as relations without
this restrictions.

since the related addon can still be installed on that side without any conflict.
