By default, when you generate a mod using ModMaker 3000™, the folder structure will use '''game''' as the domain, and use the same file name as the vanilla JSON file. This can lead to mod conflicts. | By default, when you generate a mod using ModMaker 3000™, the folder structure will use '''game''' as the domain, and use the same file name as the vanilla JSON file.

To avoid the possibility of mod conflicts, do not use the '''game''' folder. Instead, use a folder with the same name as your '''modid'''; that is, your mod's domain. So in this example, WolvesAreWimps.zip should instead have the folders '''assets\wolvesarewimps\patches''' and WolvesDropSticks.zip should instead have the folders '''assets\wolvesdropsticks\patches'''. File names are also arbitrary, you do not need to use '''survival-entities-land-wolf-male.json''' and can name the file anything you want, since its contents direct the game on what and how to patch, not the file's name. | To avoid the possibility of mod conflicts, do not use the '''game''' folder.

Patches that are creating e.g. behaviors or attributes (for example, if item does not have it), will be overwritten by patches from other mods that are doing same, but with another value. | Patches that are creating e.g. behaviors or attributes (for example, if item does not have it), will be overwritten by patches from other mods that are doing same, but with another value. | ||
