About this mod Author’s original text
Found Footage
MyceliumNetworking library is required.
Mod that adds real lost footage from other players to your Old World. Anyone can contribute their own recordings, no curated lists or agreements.
This mod must be installed for all players in a team.
⚠️ IMPORTANT INFORMATION ⚠️
This mod sends your in-game camera footage to the server __along with audio__, depending on the mod's configuration. Anyone can watch and download your videos later.
You can request your data or have it removed, see configuration file for more information.
A note to modpack makers
Do not include BepInEx/persistent-config directory in your modpack. People with the same User ID cannot vote twice on the same video.
Gameplay
You can find lost cameras in the Old World. These contain footage of other players who were there before you.
You put them into an extraction machine like a normal camera.
These recordings will give you half the views of the original video by default, you can change this using the FoundVideoScoreMultiplier config option.
When your team dies or comes back alive (configurable), the camera footage is uploaded to the server and made available to other players.
Voting
Since v0.3.0 you can like or dislike other people's videos. Video's score will be used for pruning system to remove bad videos (as of 23.05.2024, there are already 117k videos that occupy 555 GB).
If the video is too short and not funny, or if it is not in-game footage, go ahead and click Dislike.
Vote wisely, you will not be able to change your vote even in a different lobby.
Todo
- Spawn cameras at the location where they were lost.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
