Installation — Mod Creator

ModKit — Mod Creator is the free plugin for creating mods for games powered by ModKit SDK.

Requirements

• Unreal Engine 5.1 or later
• The game you're modding must also use ModKit SDK
• Windows (Win64)

Download

Download ModKit — Mod Creator

Install

1. Extract the downloaded archive
2. Copy the ModKit_Authoring folder into the Plugins folder of your UE project:

MyModProject/
└── Plugins/
    └── ModKit_Authoring/    ← drop it here

If the Plugins folder doesn't exist, create it at the root of your project.

Enable the Plugin

1. Open your project in Unreal Engine
2. Go to Edit → Plugins
3. Search for ModKit
4. Enable ModKit — Mod Creator and restart the Editor when prompted

Use a Dedicated Mod Project

Create a blank UE project just for modding. This keeps your mod content isolated from any other work.

Verify Installation

After restarting, you should see a ModKit button in the main Editor toolbar. Clicking it shows:

• Create Mod — open the new mod wizard
• Edit Mod — edit an existing mod's metadata
• Package Mod — build and package a mod to .pak

What You'll Need From the Game Developer

Before creating content, you'll need:

1. Mod documentation — what assets you can override, DataTable structures, etc.
2. Game version string — to set the correct MinGameVersion in your mod
