Start from the template
Use the framework template and work against a copied Starminer install while testing.
For modders
Build Starminer mods
The framework repo owns the SDK, manifest schema, package layout, examples, and validation. SMMODS turns a validated package into a public catalog entry.
Publishing flow
From local mod to public catalog record
Validate the package
Check manifest shape, safe paths, dependencies, entrypoints, target build, and hashes.
Submit a version
Accounts and real upload storage are planned. The static upload page shows the intended flow.
Package contract
Publishable mods need manager-readable metadata.
Every installable mod needs a stable id, semantic version, target game build, entrypoints,
dependency declarations, a versioned ZIP, and SHA256 metadata. Framework-based Lua mods
should depend on starminer.framework.
