Hello, its me again xD  
I tried to see some tutorials and I downloaded some mods to understand how works, but I don’t get it x.x  
How do “aliases” and “mixintos” work?

For example, I want to create some weapons, what I need to put in aliases and mixintos?

Hi there @Tanrion 👋!  
All I can do right now is direct you to some pages since I am new to it myself 😅.  
Have you visited this [thread](https://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/startermod-basic-updated-with-weapons-armor-lights-and-particles/14508)? This helped me a lot. Oh and if you want a tutorial video,  
watch this [one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxwZTJhcwhY).  
Skip ahead to _ **4:00** _ to hear about manifest.json.

If you already visited these, my bad. But I hope it helps 😣!
