Downloading mods
There are currently multiple ways to acquire mods including:
- The Offical Discord
- The Cosmic Reach Mod Archive
- The Cosmic Reach Mod Manager
- GitHub or the developers website
Some launchers may implement the CRM-1 Specification, which allows developers to provide their own mod repositories in a unified format.
Installing mods
Data Mods
To install mods, go to your Cosmic Reach data location.
- On Windows, this is
%LocalAppData%\cosmic-reach - On MacOS, this is
/Users/username/Library/cosmic-reach - On Linux, this is
/home/username/.local/share/cosmic-reach - If you are not sure, there is a button in game that will open that directory for you.
In this location, create a new folder called mods and inside of the mods folder, create a new folder called assets
From there, simply drag and drop blocks, models, sounds, textures and block_events folders into the assets folder
If the mod you are attempting to install contains the mods folder already, you can skip the previous steps and just drag and drop it into your Cosmic Reach data location
Cosmic Reach data mods are not seperated, so while you can install multiple mods, as long as they do not conflict with one another, removing a singular mod without removing the rest is extremely difficult, and requires you to do it manually.
Fabric Mods
To install fabric mods, you will have to use a fabric modloader. Multiple exist, however, it is recommended that you use ForwarD-Nern's Mod Loader or CosmicLoader
Simply download the latest release and extract the contents of the zip to a folder. Then download a copy of Cosmic Reach and rename it to cosmic-reach.jar
Click on launch.sh if you use Linux or launch.bat if you use Windows. If you're using a version of Java that is not in your path, you can edit the scripts to point to it, e.g ./jdk-21.0.2/bin/java
The mod loader will create a mods folder for you to place your mods in, after that, you should be good to go.
