Hollow Knight Silksong Item Randomizer
🎮 **An item randomization module designed for "Hollow Knight: Silk Song", adding endless possibilities to your gaming experience! **
✨ Core Functions
This mod replaces every item you pick up with an item from a random pool of most items in the game.
**Random pool contains:**
- **Emblem** - Switch your emblem on pickup (includes capeless and cursed emblems)
- **Tools** - various useful tools
- **Ability Improvements** - Sprint, double jump, Silk Song Roar, Claw Line, etc.
- **Mission Items** - Mission-critical props
- **Random Collectibles** - Rosary Beads, Silk Song Larvae, Pale Oil, and more
- **Map, Mask Fragments, Spools and Silk Hearts** - are now also included in the random pool
🏪 Store Randomization
The store system is now fully randomized:
- Most items will be randomized and some items can be purchased unlimited times
- Most of the items in the Shakla Shop remain unchanged, but purchased maps will be compensated with additional items when picked up
- There may be some bugs in the store system, feedback is welcome!
⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE
Any non-pickup or shop items (such as power-ups) will remain unchanged, meaning:
-Mods do not completely change the gameplay experience
- Does not block normal processes like traditional randomizers
- This is just a preview of what the randomizer could look like
🎮 Control commands
- **F7** - gives you a random item from the pool
- **F8 Switch** - Equip the Hunter Badge in cursed/uncloaked state, and equip the Uncloaked Badge otherwise.
- **F9 Toggle** - enables/disables Silk Song Soar (avoids the diving bell problem before the abyss)

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
