+
+Non-core content packages
+
+	Most mods are usually not core content packages, but instead add things to or
+	modify things in the Vanilla content package (= the default content of the game).
+
+	Here's an example of a simple non-core package:
+
+	<contentpackage name="BestModEver" path="Mods/PotatoGun/filelist.xml" gameversion="0.9.1.0" corepackage="false">
+		<Item file="Mods/PotatoGun/potatogun.xml" />
+	</contentpackage>
+
+	This mod would simply add an extra item to the game (or items if there are multiple 
+	ones configured	in the potatogun.xml file).
+
+Overriding content
+
+	You can also set your mods to override vanilla content without having to modify the
+	Vanilla content package. This can be done by using Override-elements in the xml
+	configuration files. For example, the content of the potatogun.xml file could be
+	something like this:
+
+	<Override>
+		<Item name="Potato Gun" identifier="harpoongun">
+			...
+		</Item>
+	</Override>
+
+	This would mean that the item overrides an item that has the identifier "harpoongun",
+	i.e. replaces harpoon guns with the potato gun.
