About this mod Author’s original text
Sponge's Cheats
Cheats and exploration tools, for when you want to skip the grind rather than play
it.
What it does
| Feature | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| God mode | on | You cannot be killed. Fish and bosses are unaffected. |
| Lethal fists | 999999 | Bare-handed punches one-shot almost anything. |
| Rigged roulette | on | The casino ball always lands on green. |
| No duplicate skins | on | The skin machine stops handing you things you already own. |
| Dev island | on | Re-enables the hidden island that ships with the game. |
| Pink radar dot | on | Marks the dev island, only if pink is otherwise unused. |
| Multi-jump | 10 | Jump repeatedly in mid-air. |
| Fast swimming | 5x | Water movement at five times walking speed. |
God mode protects players only. Fish and bosses take damage exactly as normal, so
the game is still playable rather than frozen.
No duplicate skins swaps a win you already own for one of the same rarity that you
are missing. A legendary still pays a legendary — it is just one you do not have. It
has to happen on the winner's own machine, because what you own lives in your local
save, so other players briefly see the reel land on the original.
The dev island is content that ships with the game and is normally unreachable. It
is also reachable simply by sailing past the last normal island.
When you want it
You have finished the game and want to mess about, you are testing something, or you
want to see the parts of the game you would otherwise have to grind for. This is not
a balance mod and does not pretend to be.
Keys
| Key | What it does |
|---|---|
| F7 | Host only: send the whole session to the dev island |
Rebindable in the config. Every cheat has its own switch on the Cheats tab in
Sponge's Mod Menu, which opens on F5, and the dev island trip is a button
there too.
Settings
Everything above is individually switchable, plus the numbers behind fist damage,
jump count and swim speed. The config file is
BepInEx/config/SpongeMods.Cheats.cfg.
Multiplayer
Most of these affect only the player at your keyboard, and your position is
replicated by the game as usual, so nobody else needs the mod. Two exceptions worth
knowing:
- Dev island travel takes the whole session with you, and only the host can
trigger it.
- The rigged roulette is decided by the host, because the host runs the world.
Compatibility
Swim speed stands down automatically if something else is already tuning it, so the
two cannot multiply into a speed neither was set to.
That means water can feel slower than 5x, because the other mod's number applies
instead and a tuning mod aims for a comfortable pace rather than a cheat. Either
raise the multiplier there, or set YieldSwimSpeed = false here to keep this mod's
speed.
Requires
Sponge's Core, Sponge's UI Library and Sponge's Mod Menu. Your mod manager
installs them for you.

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.
