Makes Magnetite Brooch attract shell shards towards the player.

About this mod Author’s original text

MagnetiteBroochPlus

A Hollow Knight: Silksong plugin for BepInEx.

When the Magnetite Brooch is equipped, Shell Shards will become attracted to players like the rosaries.

This is my first mod for a game so this was fun, I plan to make more but we all gotta start somewhere. Oh if there any bugs I'll patch it when I have time, but I did not notice any while testing!

How it works

  • Detects when the Magnetite Brooch is equipped or unequipped.
  • Activates/Deactivates the built-in rosary attraction effect globally for shell shards.
  • Lightweight, no extra settings required.

Installation

  • Install BepInExPack for Silksong or manually.
  • Download the latest release of this mod or download the DLL from my gitthub.
  • Option A (): Install directly via your mod manager.
  • Option B (Manual): Extract the.zip into your BepInEx/plugins folder.
  • Launch the game and enjoy!

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. 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.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. 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.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:

BepInEx-BepInExPack
