Serverside QoL
This mod adds some QoL features as a serverside-only mod.
It's designed and tested for dedicated servers with vanilla/console clients (e.g. XBox/PS/Switch users).
If you'd like to support me, subscribe as a test user.
You can help by testing the beta versions on hexium.

|MaxLevelIncrease|0||Amount the max level of creatures is incremented throughout the world.

The respective boss's biome and previous biomes are affected and the level up chance increases with the max level.

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:
