Pakku Terminology
Since Pakku deals with many names for different things from various sources, it is crucial to clarify what means what.
Project
A 'project' describes a mod, resource pack, shader, etc.
Project File
A 'project file' describes the file associated with a project.
Project Side
A 'project side' describes where a project can run:
CLIENT: Runs only on the client (e.g., JEI, shader mods, client HUD enhancements)
SERVER: Runs only on the server (e.g., server management tools, server-side optimization)
BOTH: Runs on both client and server (e.g., most content mods, API libraries)
The side property affects how projects are exported to different platforms. See Exporting a Modpack for details.
Override
An 'override' describes a file or directory that will be packaged with the modpack when exporting.
