The long-term goal of Hack/Mine is to be thoroughly customizable, such that users can create their own content and share it with the community. As of version 0.6.4, this is starting to become a reality, as users can create their own spells via [[Spellscript]] and create their own classes and skill-sets through a configuration file (''hsmConfig.JSON'') located in the ''<.minecraft>/spells/'' directory. This information propagates over the network automatically, meaning each Hack/Mine server can offer its own unique RPG experience.

You'll definitely want to use a syntax-highlighted text editor like [http://www.sublimetext.com/ Sublime Text] when customizing Hack/Mine. A Sublime package for [[Spellscript]] is also available [http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?foak1j6b381huzz here].

==The JSON Data Format==
To customize ''hsmConfig.JSON'', you first need to understand the JSON data format. A .JSON file is simply a text file, except its text must be organized according to a certain set of rules. If you're a programmer, you can probably understand the precise definition given [http://www.json.org/ here], but otherwise, read on.

JSON has three basic textual components: ''values'', ''objects'', and ''arrays''. A value is either a string of characters enclosed in quotation marks, a real number, an array, an object, '''true''', '''false''', or '''null'''. An array is simply a comma-separated list of values enclosed by square brackets. And finally, an object is a comma-separated list of ''pairs'' enclosed by curly braces, where a pair is simply a string and a value separated by a colon. That's it! Here's some example JSON data:
<nowiki>{
"someNumber" : 34,
"anotherNumber" : 21.4,
"aString" : "yo dawg",
"anArray" : [2, 3, 5.2, null, "hi!"]
"anotherObject" : { "herp" : 0, "aderp": 1, "alerp" : 2 }
"jsonIsSuperAmazing" : true,
"jsonIsComplicated" : false
}</nowiki>

Now you're ready to customize ''hsmConfig.JSON''...
