+Activated when an exclamation box breaks, allowing mods to take control over exclamation boxes.
+- `readFunction` is called after the exclamation box breaks, allowing mods to read the object that spawned.
+  - No return value is necessary.
+- `writeFunction` is called when the exclamation box breaks, allowing mods to override the spawned object. 
+  - Returning the spawned object is highly recommended as it prevents spawning both the vanilla and new object at the same time. It also allows `readFunction` to function properly.
+

+| readFunction | `Lua Function` ([Object](structs.md#Object)) |
+| writeFunction | `Lua Function` ([Object](structs.md#Object)): [Object](structs.md#Object) |
