 A specific file format is used to define the access changes included in your mod. To aid IDE's you should use the ''.accesswidener'' file extension.

If you use a custom ''RemapJarTask'', set ''remapAccessWidener'' property on it to ''true'' to ensure this happens.

 By default, accesswidener entries that don't exist are ignored.
 On recent versions of Loom, you can run ''gradlew validateAccessWidener'' to check that all the classes, fields and methods specified in the accesswidener file exist.
+The error messages can be a little cryptic. For example, if you make a mistake in specifying a field, the error doesn't say whether the name or the type is the problem For example, if it says it cannot find the field "''fooI''", it could mean there is no field named ''foo'', or that it exists but isn't an ''int'' (''I'').
+===== V2 changes =====
+With the v2 version, the ''transitive-*'' prefixed keywords have been added:
+  * ''transitive-accessible''
+  * ''transitive-extendable''
+  * ''transitive-mutable''
+They differ from their regular, non-prefixed variants in that they also apply to mods that depend on this one.
