Modding:Modder Guide/APIs/Update checks (view source)

, 23:29, 29 June 2021Added a caveat about Dummy Update Keys based on Patho's Explanation
This is useful to minimize manifest.json maintenance for a unified mod package that contains sub-mods, as it is satisfying SMAPI's desire for UpdateKeys to be defined but does no actual update check, meaning that only the main mod with tracked <code>UpdateKeys</code> will affect whether SMAPI believes there is an update.

Caveats:
* This is an ''unintended feature'' resulting from how SMAPI currently works with <code>UpdateKeys</code>, and there is no guarantee that it will continue to work this way long term, but as of now is the best way to handle submods.
