Mod Management
Customize your in-game experience with ease by managing mods with the launcher.
Mod Management Tab. Accessible in the settings menu.
Mod Management Tab
All mod management can be done through the mod managament tab in settings. You can only manage mods for the selected server, which will be displayed on the top of the tab. To quickly manage another server configuration, you can use the switch button. Note that this will update the selected server for the entire launcher.
Built-In Mods
Built-in mods are provided by the server and automatically updated by the launcher. These mods are not stored in the mods folder, and are dynamically loaded when the game is launched. Built-in mods can be either required or optional.
Required Mods
Required mods are required to join the server and are always enabled.
Optional Mods
Optional mods are not required to join the server, and are typically provided simply to enhance the overall experience. These mods can be toggled freely.
Sub Mods
Mods can also declare sub mods. This is typical when one mod required another to function properly. In order to enable a sub mod, its parent must also be enabled. For example, in the following image, Macro/Keybind Mod is enabled, however it will not be loaded when the game starts. This is because its parent, LiteLoader, is not enabled.
Drop-In Mods
Drop-In mods are custom mods added and managed by the user. These are stored locally in the mods folder for the specific server instance.
Add Drop-Ins
Click the Add Mods button. This will open the system file explorer to the mods folder. Move all custom mods to that folder. When you've finished, press F5 while the launcher is focused to refresh the list.
You can also simply drag and drop the mod file onto the Add Mods button.
Remove Drop-Ins
To remove a drop-in mod, simply click the Remove button. If you delete a mod from the mods folder directly, press F5 while the launcher is focused to refresh the list.
Toggle Drop-Ins
You can toggle drop-in mods by clicking their respective toggle switch. When a drop-in is disabled, the .disabled extension is added to the mod file. The .disabled extension is removed upon being reenabled.
Mods Folder Location
You can find the mods folder in the instance folder for the corresponding server configuration (.westeroscraft/instances/{SERVER}/mods).
More information on where to find .westeroscraft.
Shaderpacks
Shaders dramatically increase the quality of the game's graphics. Please note that shaders will only run smoothly on powerful setups.
You can select your shaderpack both before and after you start the game. Selecting your pack before launch via the launcher can dramatically reduce lag and delays related to switching ingame. You may find this option on the bottom of the Mods settings tab. If you wish to switch shaders ingame, you may do so under Options > Video Settings > Shaders.
Add Shaderpacks
Click on the + button and drag shaders into the folder. Drag and drop is also enabled on the button, you may simply drop files ontop of it to move them to the shaderpack folder.
Remove Shaderpacks
Click on the + button and delete the pack you do not want. Note that any existing shaderpacks will be redownloaded if you delete them.
