mod.txt Standards

mod.txt is used to store information about the mod like it's name, ID and version.
Because it's a ConfigFile, it can also store any arbitrary piece of information.
For this information to be useful, it needs to be stored in a standardized way.
Mods can read other mods' configs using the ModLoader class located in /root/ModLoader.
Below is a non-exhaustive list of standards.
