General Information

To get the most out of this modpack, I highly recommend always starting MULTIPLAYER sessions. Some of these mods and features won't work as intended if you're playing SINGLEPLAYER.

Additional Characters

Some characters have had their original skins disabled and replaced with another mod to look more vanilla, but can be re-enabled from "ContentDisabler.cfg" if you prefer those instead. Alternatively, you can disable the Content Disabler mod altogether.

Various skins of vanilla characters have also been added to this modpack.

  • Spearman
  • Deputy
  • Enforcer
  • Paladin
  • Bomber
  • Rocket
  • Executioner: Added from Starstorm2
  • Nemesis Commando: Added from Starstorm2
  • Shigaraki: "Hopoo Space Shigaraki" skin is enabled. Original skins disabled.
  • Sett: "DxD Balance Breaker" skin is enabled. Original skins disabled.

Additional Bosses (or Changes)

  • Aurelionite: The fight has changed, as per "GoldenCoastPlus".
  • Direseeker: Replaces the legendary chest in Abyssal Depths. To summon, activate the switches located around the map.

FAQ

  • Why are the original skins for Sett and Shigaraki disabled? The characters are cool, but I'm not too big on characters that look out of place... and, unfortunately, their OG skins look very out of place in this universe.
  • Why is this modpack here? It's easy for friends to grab without me having to provide individual mod links for them to download.
  • Why did you add mods that contain lots of items then disable most of them? This modpack was designed around the idea of an enhanced vanilla experience. Frankly, we don't wan

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:
