⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Massive community trust (5,018 endorsements) — this is a staple for Valheim modders.
- Essential for anyone making mods that need to patch game methods — it's the backbone for many popular mods.
- Active development history (last updated 2021) shows it's been maintained for a while.
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2021 — may not be compatible with the latest Valheim patches, so check for updates.
- Not for casual players — this is a developer tool, not a gameplay mod.
- Requires BepInEx to work, so you'll need to set that up first.
