The tags below should fall under the common namespace, abbreviated as c: This ensures compatibility across the most commonly used platforms for the game. When a namespace is not explicitly specified (e.g., modid:), the c: namespace is assumed by default.
History

During this period, when a namespace was not explicitly specified (e.g., modid:), the forge: namespace was assumed by default.
