Better Multiplayer

This mod aims for a better multiplayer experience by adding a few Quality of Life upgrades to make things easier when playing with other players!

Note that all players in a lobby need to have this mod installed to play together.

What's new with this mod

  • Chests, Cauldrons and Furnaces are accessible for all players, at the same time.
  • Game settings are only modifiable by the lobby host, and all players will be able to see the settings as they are changed in real-time by the host.
  • It is possible to return to the same lobby after a game or at any time during the game via the new "Lobby" buttons in the pause menu and the game end menu.
  • Returning to lobby with multiple players is available to only the host and will move all players to the lobby after a 3 seconds countdown (cancellable by the host).
  • You can now easily invite friends through steam with the new "Invite friend(s)" button in the lobby (inviting friends through the steam overlay was always possible though).
  • Dead players will still be visible on the map as a faded player icon.
  • Player pings are now visible on the map.

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:
