Custom checkerboard wand handle

🎨 **A unique wand handle created by player request! ** This mod replaces the original brown checkerboard wand handle in the game and creatively combines three different styles of checkerboard design elements.

---

✨Mod details

This custom checkerboard wand handle combines features from three original handles:

  • **Black Marble - Teal Checkerboard** The texture of the handle
  • **Opal - Blue Checkerboard** Color of handle
  • **Gold - Brown Checkerboard** Texture of handle

To give you a more intuitive comparison, I have also attached the original handle to the picture.

🧙‍♂️ How to get

In the game, this wand handle can be obtained through the **"Survivor Encounter"** side quest, given by **Edgar Ardley** in County Aran.

🔧 Compatibility Notes

⚠️ **Please note compatibility**:

  • ❌ Not compatible with any mod that modifies **ChunkID 230**.

📥 Installation Guide

The installation process is very simple:

  • Unzip the `.pak`, `.ucas`, and `.utoc` files in the downloaded file.
  • Place them into the following directory:

`[Your Steam library location]\steamapps\common\Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Content\Paks\~mods`

  • If the `~mods` folder does not exist, please create it manually.
  • To uninstall the mod, simply delete these files.

💡 **IMPORTANT**: If you use a mod manager like **Vortex**, don’t forget to launch your Hogwarts Legacy game through Vortex!

This module is also compatible with direct download and installation through Vortex :)

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
