Custom DLC Boss Mod

Every professional mod uploaded requires a properly formatted markdown file

( README.md ) in its root folder. This file serves as the main description landing page where

players learn what your custom DLC boss expansion adds, how to activate it, and configuration

details.

Create a file named exactly README.md inside your modding project folder using a raw text

application like Notepad or VS Code, and paste this entire template into it:

Windows Explorer, check that "File name extensions" is enabled to ensure the extension reads

precisely as.md before compressing it into your final upload archive.
