As shown above, modules objects are allowed to declare submodules under the option `sub_modules`. This parameter is completely optional and can be omitted for modules which do not require submodules. Typically, files which require other files are declared as submodules. A quick example would be a mod, and the configuration file for that mod. Submodules can also declare submodules of their own. The file is parsed recursively, so there is no limit.
Modules may also declare a `required` object.
```JSON
"required": {
"value": false, (if the module is required)
"def": false (if it's enabled by default, has no effect if value is true)
}
```
If a module does not declare this object, both `value` and `def` default to true. Similarly, if a parameter is not included in the `required` object it will default to true. This will be used in the mod selection process down the line.
The format of the module's artifact depends on several things. The most important factor is where the file will be stored. If you are providing a simple file to be placed in the root directory of the client files, you may decided to format the module as the `examplefile` module declared above. This module provides a `path` option, allowing you to directly set where the file will be saved to. Only the `path` will affect the final downloaded file.
Other times, you may want to store the files maven-style, such as with libraries and mods. In this case you must declare the module as the example artifact above. The `id` becomes more important as it will be used to resolve the final path. The `id` must be provided in maven format, that is `group.id.maybemore:artifact:version`. From there, you need to declare the `extension` of the file in the artifact object. This effectively replaces the `path` option we used above.
