AXION's words, explained simply. Across the site, a word with a dotted underline shows its explanation when you hover over it.

Term What it is
addon A mod that adds content to AXION: objects, vehicles, materials. It depends on AXION.
assembly An AXION object placed in the world, built from its definition. The definition is the recipe, the assembly the dish.

glTF The 3D model format AXION reads (.gltf or .glb). Blender exports it: File › Export › glTF 2.0.
modId Your mod's identifier, in lowercase (example_addon). It is also the namespace of everything it declares.
