Getting Started

What this section is for

These guides are for players and modpack authors who want to customize mods that expose Shogi-backed properties.

Shogi lets a mod expose a namespaced key (for example waystones:warp_requirements) and then evaluate rule expressions to calculate the final result at runtime.

Prerequisites

Before writing rules, make sure:

• the target mod actually supports Shogi-backed properties
• Shogi is installed when the mod requires live rule evaluation
• you know where the mod expects rules (config/shogi.json or a mod config rule list)
• you reload config or restart after editing, depending on the mod

How key targeting works

Rule targets are namespaced identifiers in the form namespace:path.

• namespace is usually the mod id (waystones, forgivingvoid, etc.)
• path is the specific property key exposed by that mod

Example target keys:

• waystones:warp_requirements
• forgivingvoid:falling_height

Regular guides use expression format only. JSON structure is documented in the Advanced page.
