About this mod Author’s original text
Hamud Habob
Adds Hamud Habob, a nasty little dwarf thief in a red cap and a dark cloak, to every land biome, from the Meadows to the Ashlands.
He doesn't want to kill you. He wants your stuff.
- Spots you from up to 50 m if you carry anything worth stealing and nothing blocks his view, and runs at you.
- Snatches on the run: once he is next to you, he grabs a random item from your inventory — backpack, hotbar or even what you are wearing — and is gone before you turn around. No damage, just the theft.
- Flees at almost sprint speed, giggling or shouting his own name, with your item held over his head.
- Kill him and the sack bursts: everything he stole flies out, together with a handful of coins (more for starred Hamuds).
- Nothing to steal? He leaves you alone. An empty-handed viking is not worth his time.
- Fragile like a Surtling (25 HP): catching him is the hard part.
- Dodge or block (facing him, shield up) to save your item. Sprinting away works too — he is just a bit slower than a sprinting player.
- A sack that swells with every theft, glowing eyes, falls on his back when he dies.
- Russian and English names (Хамуд Хабоб).
Installation
Install with r2modman Mod Manager. Every player and the server need the mod (Jotunn checks this when connecting).
Manual: put HamudHabob.dll, hamud.glb and the three hamud_*.wav files into one folder inside BepInEx/plugins. Requires Jotunn.
Spawn him with the dev console: spawn HamudHabob.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- 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.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- 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.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
