About this mod Author’s original text

Ankh

An in-game timer and autosplitter for Balatro.

Installation

The latest version of Ankh can be installed - you can find the mod here. _(Note that Balatro is currently not publicly available in modloaders that use. Use the Manual Installation method at the moment.)_

For autosplitting with LiveSplit, you must also install LiveSplit Server. Move the files from this release into your LiveSplit Components folder and add LiveSplit Server to your splits layout.

Manual Installation

Ankh requires Lovely to be installed in order to be instaled manually. To install it, you must copy dwmapi.dll into your Balatro game directory. You can navigate to the location by right-clicking the game in Steam, hovering "Manage", and selecting "Browse local files".

To install Ankh manually, move the files from the latest Release into the %AppData%/Balatro/Mods folder. (You must create this folder if it does not exist.)

You must also install nativefs into the same folder.

Using Ankh

All runs uploaded to Speedrun.com with this mod must use its Official Mode, which you can find in the profile selection menu.

To reset runs with multiple segments, hold down Control+R instead of just R.

There is an FAQ Doc for more assistance.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide. These mods need a community loader first — the bundled readme usually points to its download.

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
