You can either add a layer directly in the layers object in layersSupportjs, or declare it in another file and then do &quot;<code>addLayer(layername, layerdata)</code>&quot; (good for breaking things up into smaller files). The existing layers are just examples and can be freely deleted. You can also use them as references and a base for your own layers.</p><p>The first thing you need to do is to edit the modInfo at the top of game.js to set your modID (a string). A unique modId will prevent your mod&#39;s saves from conflicting with other mods.</p><p>Most of the time, you won&#39;t need to dive deep into the code to create things, but you still can if you really want to.</p><p>The Modding Tree uses break_eternity.js to store large values. This means that many numbers are Decimal objects, and must be treated differently. For example, you have to use <code>new Decimal(x)</code> to create a Decimal value instead of a plain number, and perform operations on them by calling functions. e.g, instead of <code>x = x + y</code>, use <code>x = x.add(y)</code>.</p><p>Almost all values can be either a constant value, or a dynamic value. Dynamic values are defined by putting a function that returns what the value should be at any given time.</p><p>All display text can be basic HTML instead (But you can&#39;t use most Vue features there).</p><h1 id="table-of-contents" tabindex="-1">Table of Contents: <a class="header-anchor" href="#table-of-contents" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;Table of Contents:&quot;">​</a></h1><h2 id="general" tabindex="-1">General: <a class="header-anchor" href="#general" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;General:&quot;">​</a></h2><ul><li><a href="./getting-started">Getting Started</a>: Getting your own copy of the code set up with Github Desktop.</li><li><a href="./main-mod-info">Main mod info</a>: How to set up general things for your mod in mod.js.</li><li><a href="./basic-layer-breakdown">Basic layer breakdown</a>: Breaking down the components of a layer with minimal features.</li><li><a href="./layer-features">Layer features</a>: Explanations of all of the different properties that you can give a layer.</li><li><a href="./custom-tab-layouts">Custom Tab Layouts</a>: An optional way to give your tabs a different layout.
