+====== Dependencies ======
+===== Hard dependency =====
+If your mod depends on features/content created in another mod, you can declare this other mod as a hard dependency of yours. Doing so will warn players if they try to use your mod without its dependencies.
+To declare dependencies for your mod, add a ''"Dependencies"'' table in your ''mod.json''. Each entry in this table requires the name of the dependency mod (''"Name"''), and its ID (''"Id"'', you can find it in the dependency's ''generated_ids.lua'' file).
+<file json mod.json [enable_line_numbers="true", highlight_lines_extra="9,10,13,14"]>
+{
+	"Name": "Mod Name",
+	"Author": "Author of the mod",
+	"Description": "Description of the mod",
+	"Version": "1.0.0",
+	"Dependencies": [
+		{
+			"Id": "81f7891c-d992-4b27-beff-617a276bab4c",
+			"Name": "First dependency mod"
+		},
+		{
+			"Id": "28eac88d-a14a-45fa-842f-710839386b77",
+			"Name": "Second dependency mod"
+		},
+		...
+	]
+}
+</file>
+===== Soft dependency =====
+If your mod uses another mod's content but can still work without it, this other mod is considered as a soft dependency. In this case, you can test in your script if this mod is already loaded with ''[[foundation-library-functions#isModLoaded|foundation.isModLoaded]]'':
+<file json mod.json [enable_line_numbers="true"]>
+-- Test if the mod I depend on is loaded
+if (foundation.isModLoaded("5d2565f1-3083-4a53-8366-8f2a2e1c4690")) then
+    ....
+else
+    ....
+end
