Conventions

Smithed imposes conventions for pack creators to follow allowing for a compatible pack ecosystem. Many of these conventions are required for packs to be submitted to the Smithed ecosystem. They allow for pack interoperability both within and without the ecosystem (i.e. they are designed to work in normal worlds).
