Realm

Installing Rain World mods can be a pain, so Realm is my attempt at simplifying the process. It's easy to use for players and developers alike.

To compare Realm with other similar projects:

• BOI manages mods for Rain World. If you can't use Realm, BOI is a reliable fallback.
• BepInEx loads mods for Unity games. Realm uses BepInEx as a framework to bootstrap the vanilla game.
• Partiality loads mods for Rain World and a few other games. It's slowly being replaced by BepInEx, though.

Realm loads and manages your mods in-game, so you can manage mods without closing the game. It's a minor miracle this works at all, and there are a few mods it breaks. If a mod doesn't work after reloading in-game, restart and avoid reloading while that mod is installed.

There's a mod browser to make installing mods easier. You can still install them manually though: Drop the mod's files and dependencies into the plugins folder as one .zip file, .dll file, or folder. You can find the plugins folder within the mod menu.^?

Install Realm

While Realm is installed, keep in mind:

• You don't need to install AutoUpdate, EnumExtender, PublicityStunt, or LogFix.
• You don't need to use BOI. In fact, you shouldn't—just launch the game without it.
• Logs are sent to BepInEx/LogOutput.log.

If you're on Linux or Steam Deck, please check PJB's guide for playing Rain World on those platforms.
