	Modding is how the base game is extended with new features such as blocks, animals and additional game play rules. Some mods only change server-side functionality, while others may add additional visualizations and interactions on the client side. Mods may be developed by ~~Strange Loop Games~~ or independent developers and added to the game by server admins.
