About this mod Author’s original text
Burglin' Gnomes — Archipelago Client
Your gnomes aren't just burgling houses anymore. They're burgling the multiworld.
Connect Burglin' Gnomes to an Archipelago multiworld randomizer session — every High-Gnome task your crew completes sends a location check, and items from other games land in your F6 overlay ready to claim.
Setup
- Get the apworld
Download burglin_gnomes.apworld from the GitHub releases page and drop it into your Archipelago custom_worlds folder. Restart the Archipelago launcher.
- Generate a seed
Make a YAML and generate your multiworld:
name: YourName
game: Burglin' Gnomes
Burglin' Gnomes:
tasks_required: 25 # how many of 50 tasks needed to win (5-50)
caught_link: false
- Host your room
Upload your.archipelago file to archipelago.gg or host locally.
- Connect in-game
Launch through Mod Manager, press F6, fill in your server address, port, and slot name. Hit Connect.
How it plays
- Your crew gets assigned High-Gnome tasks as normal
- Complete a task → location check fires automatically
- Items from the multiworld appear in the Pending Rewards panel (F6 overlay)
- Hit Claim Next or Claim All when you have inventory space — nothing gets lost if you're full
- Unclaimed items survive disconnects and session restarts

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- 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.
