About this mod Author’s original text

CheatTagCleaner

Used devcommands or god mode for a moment and now everything you craft gets the "cheated" tag? This mod removes the cheat tags from your items and buildings — with a hotkey, or automatically.

Unofficial mod. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Iron Gate. Free forever — no paywalled features.

☕ Enjoying it? You can support development on Ko-fi — completely optional.

Why items stay tagged

The game keeps the tag on anything made while cheating, and it spreads:

  • If any stack of a material in your inventory is tagged, everything crafted with that material is tagged.
  • Anything crafted at a crafting station built while cheating is tagged — forever.
  • Putting a tagged item on a normal stack tags the whole stack.

Features

  • F8 – clean now:
  • your inventory (incl. equipped items), the open chest and the crafting station you are using
  • buildings (incl. crafting stations), chest contents and dropped items within 30 m
  • Shift+F8 – toggle auto clean: keeps your inventory, the open chest and your crafting station clean, and cleans once more right before crafting, so new items never get tagged.
  • English & Korean messages (follows your game language).

Multiplayer

  • Only your things by default: on a server, F8 and auto clean only touch buildings, chests and crafting stations you built, and dropped items you crafted.
  • Ctrl+F8 – player window: pick a player on the server and choose what to clean:
  • their inventory & equipped items (they need the mod too — their inventory lives on their PC)
  • buildings & crafting stations they built
  • items in their chests & dropped items they crafted

Buildings and items are cleaned within 30 m of you, and — if they have the mod — within 30 m of them as well.

  • Players can refuse with Multiplayer.AllowRemoteClean = false. They get a message whenever someone cleans their things.
  • Chests another player is using right now are skipped.
  • Only cheat tags are touched — items, amounts and durability stay as they are. The server doesn't need the mod.

It does not touch the character's own "used cheats" record (for achievements) — only item and building tags.

한국어 안내

치트를 잠깐 쓴 뒤로 만드는 아이템마다 치트 표시가 붙는 문제를 해결하는 모드입니다.

비공식 모드이며 Iron Gate 와 관련이 없습니다. 모든 기능 무료입니다.

도움이 되셨다면 Ko-fi 에서 커피 한 잔으로 응원해 주세요 (선택).

  • F8: 인벤토리·열어 둔 상자·쓰는 제작대 + 주변 30m 건물·상자·바닥 아이템의 치트 표시를 바로 지움
  • Shift+F8: 자동 제거 켜기/끄기 (새로 만드는 물건에 표시가 붙지 않게)
  • 멀티서버에서는 기본으로 내 것만 지웁니다 (내가 지은 건물·상자·제작대, 내가 만든 바닥 아이템).
  • Ctrl+F8: 플레이어 창 — 접속한 플레이어를 골라 그 사람의 인벤토리(상대도 모드 필요)·지은 건물·상자/바닥 아이템을 골라서 지웁니다.
  • 상대는 Multiplayer.AllowRemoteClean = false 로 거부할 수 있고, 누가 정리하면 메시지가 뜹니다.
  • 다른 사람이 쓰고 있는 상자는 건너뜁니다.
  • 캐릭터의 "치트 사용" 기록(업적용)은 건드리지 않고 아이템·건물 표시만 지웁니다.

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. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
