About this mod Author’s original text

Multiplayer Speedrunning

A Balatro mod that lets players compete in real-time speedrun matches. Built on the

Balatro Multiplayer API (MultiplayerAPI).

On-screen speedrun timer

During a match an on-screen timer counts up the elapsed run time. If you have the

SystemClock mod installed, the timer takes

over your existing clock for the duration of the match — using all of your SystemClock

styling, position and customization — and reverts to showing the system time when the run

ends. SystemClock is optional; without it, a built-in clock is shown instead.

The on-screen clock UI in ui/speedrun_timer.lua is a minimal,

modified adaptation of the SystemClock mod by Breezebuilder

( used with permission and under GPL-3.0.

Many thanks to Breezebuilder for the great clock UI and for allowing its reuse.

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:
