== Export a mod ==
== Distributing a mod ==


Unfortunately the modding system is not completely finished. So, there is no way to make the game load your stuff, except of having everything inside the assets folder of the game. So if you want to share your work, we recommend to create a zip file filled with all your json & texture files (including directories), so you could extract the archives content into the assets folder in order to install your mod.
The current modding system does not yet support mod-specific asset folders. The current way of doing it is to create a zip file a user can extract into his game folder that will extract the files into the right folders.
 
A proper mod manager will be added once there is a few serious mods out there.
