In Staxel, *.palettegroup files are used to specify a group in which Palettes can be a part of. These groups can then be used on any Accessory or Species.

There are two main reasons for using Palette Groups;

• It cuts down the number of lines needed in every files.
• You can add palettes to accessories without needing to change their file. For example, adding a palette to the group, "staxel.palette.group.DyeColours", will add your palette to all of Staxel's Hairs.

Creating a *.palettegroup file

Creating a palette group is very easy.

1. Create a text file, and change it's extension to end in .palettegroup
2. Open the file and add the following;

{
  "code" : "mods.modname.palettes.group.groupname",
}

1. Change the code to suit your needs.

And that is it. You have created a palette group.

Adding Palettes to a Palette Group

To add your own palettes to a palette group, add or edit the following line in the Palette file.

  "groups": [ "mods.modname.palettes.group.groupname"],

You can add more groups by separating each set of " with a comma.
