+# Project Structure
+
+## Overview
+
+Pumpkin is split into multiple crates, thus having a set project structure between contributors is essential.
+
+## Pumpkin-Core
+
+The core crate has some special rules that only apply to it:
+
+- It may not depend on any other pumpkin crate
+- There may not be any files directly under src/, except for the mod.rs file (this is to help with organisation)
+
+## Other crate rules
+
+- [`pumpkin-protocol`](/pumpkin-protocol/) - contains definitions for packet types **and** their serialization (be it through serde, or manually implementing `ClientPacket`/`ServerPacket`), only the `pumpkin` crate may depend on this
+- `pumpkin-macros` - similarly to `pumpkin-core`, it may not depend on any other pumpkin crate
