Rosaries And Shell Stay Safe from Spikes

Description

This mod ensures that all Shell Shards and Rosaries, including all variants, are safe from spikes. Collectibles will no longer be lost when touching spikes, allowing smoother exploration and collection.

Thanks to Magnetite Brooch, you can now pull Rosaries out of spikes, and with other compatible mods, you can retrieve Shell Shards that would otherwise be unreachable.

Compatibility

  • Fully compatible with other mods that interact with collectibles.
  • Works with all shard sizes: Small, Medium, Big.
  • Does not interfere with enemies, environmental objects, or core gameplay mechanics.

Notes

  • Quality of life mod type.
  • No configuration needed.
  • Version 1.1.0

Installation

  • Ensure BepInEx is installed for Silksong.
  • Place KeepShellShardsAndRosariesSafe.dll into the following folder:

\Hollow Knight Silksong\BepInEx\plugins

  • Launch the game. The mod works automatically with no configuration required.

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_Silksong
