Player Limit Mod
Increase the player limit in Stolen Realm beyond the default 6-player cap. Play with up to 16 players (configurable) in both local and online multiplayer!
Features
- Configurable player limit — Set max players from 1 to 30 via config file
- Full UI pagination — Character selection cleanly paginates with 6 characters per page
- Party counter — Always shows "Party: X/16" so you know your current count
- Native UI styling — Uses the game's own TextMeshPro fonts and dark header boxes
- Golden arrow navigation — Custom sprite-based page arrows that match the game's aesthetic
- Steam lobby support — Patches Steam lobby creation to allow 7+ players
- PlayFab lobby support — Patches PlayFab lobby creation for 7+ players
- Player color expansion — Generates distinct colors for players beyond the original 6
- Battle placement scaling — Expands the placement radius for larger parties
- Portrait support — Clones portrait slots in combat UI for extra players
- Zero configuration needed — Works out of the box with sensible defaults
Installation
- Install BepInEx 5 if you haven't already
- Download this mod and extract it into your BepInEx/plugins/ folder
- Launch the game — the mod will auto-generate its config file
Configuration
After first launch, edit BepInEx/config/com.stolenrealm.playerlimit.cfg:
[General]
Maximum number of players allowed (1-30)
MaxPlayers = 16
Change the value and restart the game to apply.
How It Works
This mod patches multiple game systems to raise the player cap:
- Character Selection — Expands the party panel slots and adds pagination when you have more than 6 characters
- Network Lobbies — Patches both Steam and PlayFab lobby creation to set the correct max member count
- Lobby Full Check — Overrides the "lobby is full" check so 7+ players can join
- Player Colors — Extends the color palette using golden-ratio HSV distribution for visually distinct colors
- Battle Grid — Scales the player placement radius based on party size
Compatibility
- Game Version: Stolen Realm (Unity 2021.3.16)
- BepInEx: 5.4.x (BepInEx 5 only, not BepInEx 6)
- Multiplayer: All players in a session need this mod installed with the same MaxPlayers setting
Troubleshooting
- Can't add 7th character: Make sure the mod loaded — check BepInEx/LogOutput.log for "Player Limit Mod"
- Characters not showing: Use the page arrows (◀ ▶) next to "Current Party" to navigate pages
- Friends can't join: All players need both BepInEx and this mod installed
- Config not appearing: Run the game at least once with the mod installed

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:
