• Reworked mod structure

• mod_manifest.json has been moved outside of the PCK. All mods should now ship with an additional file named <mod_id>.json - see ModManifest for the new JSON structure.

• PCK is no longer required for all mods. Json is the only file that is required to declare a mod. The json must declare whether the mod includes a pck/dll file.

• settings.save now includes a list of all mods that were loaded in the last game run. Reordering this list affects load order.

• Mods may declare dependencies in the manifest. If settings.save declares a load order incompatible with the listed dependencies, then a re-sort is forced.

• Added affects_gameplay field to mod manifest. If false, then the mod will not be checked against the host's mods in a multiplayer game.

• Updated 0Harmony/MonoMod to support mac arm64. Manually overwriting it should no longer be required.
