Modding:Mod Packaging
From Vintage Story Wiki

Info file
Every zip-file mod requires a modinfo.json inside the root directory of the archive. Otherwise the entire mod will be ignored. This info file specifies what kind of me it is, its name, author, etc.
An example of a theme pack info file (modinfo.json):
{
"type": "content",
"name": "My Example Content Mod",
"description" : "This is an example mod, which does nothing",
"author": "CreativeMD",
"version": "1.0",
"gameversions": [ "1.5.0.3+" ],
"website": "http://example.com"
}
"type": "content",
Defines this mod as being a ContentMod. Therefore it cannot any scripts or mod classes (it might contain some, but this will be ignored).
"gameversions": [ "1.5.0.3+" ],
Means it requires at least VintageStory v1.5.0.3 or a newer version.
Icon
The file modicon.png (if it exists) will be used and shown in the mod manager menu.
