@RestrictedMethod
void activate(List<String> mods)
```
  - activateGameMode
```
@RestrictedMethod
boolean activateGameMode(String gameModeName)
```
  - loadShipClasses
```
void loadShipClasses()
```
    (Re)loads all ship classes from active mods
  - loadEntityDef
```
void loadEntityDef()
```
    (Re)loads all entity definitions from active mods
  - loadAchievements
```
void loadAchievements()
```
    (Re)loads all achievement definitions from active mods
  - loadAllAchievements
```
void loadAllAchievements()
```
    (Re)loads all achievement definitions from all mods
  - loadResource
```
InputStream loadResource(String modName,
                         String resourceName)
```
    Loads a resource from the mod static storage cumulative if modName is null, otherwise non-cumulative from the specified mod. See also loadCumulativeResource for a more detailed explaination about cumulating resources.
  - loadResource
```
@RestrictedMethod
InputStream loadResource(Mod mod,
                         String resourceName)
```
  - loadDefaultModResource
```
InputStream loadDefaultModResource(String resourceName)
```
    Loads a resource from the mod static storage of the default mod (game-core). It ignores other mods overriding resources.
  - loadCumulativeResource
```
InputStream loadCumulativeResource(String resourceName)
```
    Loads a resource from the mod static storage cumulative, returning the last occurence. This makes it possible for mods to override data from other mods (e.g. a custom tileset mod can override tilesets from the game core).
  - getGameModeDefs
```
List<GameModeDef> getGameModeDefs()
```
    Returns a view of all game mode definitions
  - getGameModeByName
```
GameModeDef getGameModeByName(String gameModeName)
```
    Returns a game mode definition by game mode name
  - getBusinessObject
```
<T> T getBusinessObject(Class<? extends T> clazz)
```
    Returns an instance of a business object by clazz. Business objects are stateless and implement game mechanics, thus the instance returned can be re-used.
  - getCompositeEntityFactories
```
List<CompositeEntityFactory> getCompositeEntityFactories()
```
    Returns all composite entity factories
  - getAll
```
List<Mod> getAll()
```
    Returns all mod descriptors
  - getActive
```
List<Mod> getActive()
```
    Returns mod descriptors of all active mods
  - getActiveNames
```
List<String> getActiveNames()
```
    Returns the names of all active mods
  - getByName
```
Mod getByName(String name)
```
    Returns a mod descriptor by name
  - getActiveByName
```
Mod getActiveByName(String name)
```
    Returns a mod descriptor by name only if it's active
  - getActiveMenuLaunchEntries
```
Map<String,MenuLaunchEntry> getActiveMenuLaunchEntries()
```
    Returns all menu launch entries from active mods
  - isDirectoryRestricted
```
boolean isDirectoryRestricted(File file)
```
  - isModNameRestricted
```
boolean isModNameRestricted(String name)
```
