Boilerplate

MIMESIS - Boilerplate

🛟 Need help or found a bug? Get support at support.doodesch.de/boilerplate.

A starter template for building MelonLoader mods for MIMESIS. Clone it, rename it, and you have a ready-to-build mod skeleton that matches the project conventions.

This is a developer template, not a player-facing feature mod. Installing it does nothing in game - it only logs that it initialized. If you are a player, there is nothing to configure here. If you are a modder, use it as the starting point for a new Mimesis mod.

Features

• Minimal MelonMod entry point that initializes preferences - no game behavior is patched.
• MelonPreferences config scaffold demonstrating the standard preferences pattern.
• A Harmony patch stub showing the Prefix/Postfix pattern, with the patch body commented out.
• A one-command setup script that renames the project to your mod name and removes the template Git history.
• A GitHub Actions workflow that builds on a version tag and publishes to GitHub Releases and.
• Optional MimicAPI integration pre-wired but disabled - uncomment to enable.

Requirements

| Component | Version |

|---|---|

| MIMESIS | 0.3.2 |

| MelonLoader | 0.7.3+ |

Installation

• Recommended: install via a mod manager (r2modman or Gale).
• Manual: download the package, extract Boilerplate.dll into MIMESIS/Mods, and launch once to generate the config.

Configuration

Stored in UserData/MelonPreferences.cfg under the Boilerplate category.

| Option | Description | Default | Values/Range |

|---|---|---|---|

| Enabled | Enable Boilerplate functionality. When disabled, the mod will not modify game behavior. The template only logs this value. | true | boolean (true/false) |

Usage

There is no in-game usage and no keybinds. This is a developer template - it produces no visible effect in game.
