In order to tell the addon loader how the addon plans to work, addons use a standard addon.json file located at the root of the addon's folder.

How many tags can the addon.json have

[WorldLanguages]

There's no limit, but it makes no sense to have "website" and "editor" at the same time, for example.

[Valmontechno]

What about addons that apply on the website and editor?

[Samq64]

We generally try to avoid those.

[Onako2]

What does "versionAdded" mean exactly? Is it what version of the addon was added in ScratchAddons? Or is it like what version of ScratchAddons was when the Addon has been made? Or something else?

[Onako2]

@Onako2 It's what version SA was on when the addon was merged.

That means I do not need to change anything? It confused me because I got here a warning.

Usually you should set it to the next version of SA (so currently 1.33.0), updating it whenever a new version releases (or when the addon is about to be merged, but someone else will probably do that). This is used for the "New!" tag and category on the settings page.

Should i put it to 1.34.0 or 1.33.1?

[CST1229]

1.33.0 (as that is the upcoming version of SA, as 1.33.0 isn't out yet). Once 1.33.0 releases, you should put it to 1.34.0, as addons usually don't get added in minor releases (changes to the 3rd number).

Ok, thanks!

There's a mistake in the if section. It says that it only works in userstyles, but it also works for userscripts.

[CST1229]

You probably shouldn't use if for userscripts, though (due to dynamic enable/disable/settings change).

[WorldLanguages]

Using if with userscripts is not recommended.
