Directory Structure

The .pakku directory contains files managed by Pakku when building and distributing the modpack. Each subdirectory serves a different purpose depending on where its contents should be installed.

.pakku
├── client-overrides
│   ├── config/
│   ├── defaultoptions/
│   └── fancymenu/
├── overrides
│   └── mods/
└── server-overrides
    └── mods/

client-overrides/

Contains files that are installed only on client instances. This includes client-only configurations, menus, resource pack settings, and other files that should never be present on a dedicated server.

Example contents:

• config/
• defaultoptions/
• fancymenu/
• Client-only mods
• Resource pack settings

overrides/

Contains files that are installed on both the client and dedicated servers.

Use this for anything shared between both environments, such as:

• Shared configuration files
• KubeJS scripts
• Datapacks
• Server-compatible mods
• Other common assets

server-overrides/

Contains files that are installed only on dedicated servers.

Typical contents include:

• Server-only configuration
• Server-only mods
• Startup scripts
• Other dedicated server files
