ModVersionChecker
Checks the version of BepInEx mods against their release versions on either GitHub or websites. If there are any updates available for installed mods, a notification will pop up on game startup. In the notification there is a button to visit the mod websites to download the available updates.
Mod release versions are checked hourly at 20 minutes past the hour, so there may be a lag from when a mod author publishes a release.
For Mod Authors
This works by comparing the version obtained from the BepInEx ChainLoader against the GitHub release tag, GitLab tag, or package version. The repo tag can have any characters in it as long as there is some form of int, int.int, or int.int.int in the tag. When you release a version of your mod, the BepInEx version must match the repo tag version number or the users will get constant update notices.
If you want your mod to be checked by ModVersionChecker your mod will need to be listed in ModList.json.
If you want your mod listed or you need to update your mod entry send a pull request with the necessary changes. Here is an example entry:
ExampleMod entry
{
"guid": "com.exampleauthor.examplemod",
"repo": "

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.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
