#### **Packing Order:**

* Items are packed in the order they appear in the list, from top to bottom.
* Each item has a numbered label (01, 02, 03…), but the actual packing order follows the list’s top-to-bottom layout.
* Later items in the list can override earlier ones.

Priority levels are used to categorize different types of mods for organizational and processing purposes.

* **Group 2**: Assigned to t**exture mods**

This hierarchy helps ensure mods are loaded and managed in the correct sequence based on their type.

\*It's recommended to place shared assets in your mod's parent folder rather than using the `shared_files` folder.<br>
