Allumeria Mods, Asset Packs and Texture Packs

Three different things people call “mods”

• Asset packs — the built-in system. Textures and, since 0.15, paint palette colours. No modloader, no risk, supported by the game itself.
• Mods — new items, recipes or mechanics, loaded by a community modloader.
• Skins — just your character texture. Covered in the skins guide.

Asset packs

Asset packs arrived in demo version 0.14.3 and Early Access expanded what they reach:

• You can now change the colour of paint with an asset pack, so a pack can retheme the Paint Roller’s palettes and not just block faces.
• Animated texture support was added, and lava got a bubbling shader as the showcase.
• Particles are now stitched into the block texture atlas, which the patch notes call out specifically so packs can modify them more easily.
• 0.15 fixed emissive textures being broken in asset packs — if you tried a glowing-block pack before Early Access and it did nothing, that was the bug.

Settings has buttons to open the relevant folders, which is the least error-prone way to install one.

Modloaders

The official wiki lists two main modloaders:

• ModMeria — github.com/ModMeria/ModMeria
• Ignitron — github.com/danilwhale/ignitron

The other documented route is modifying the game’s DLL files directly. Resources for that live in Fishia’s alludocs wiki, github.com/FishiaTee/alludocs, which currently covers items and blocks and is being expanded.

Allumeria is written in C# with OpenTK, OpenGL and SoLoud, which is why the DLL-patching route exists at all — and why modding it looks more like modding a .NET application than editing config files.

Before you install anything

Two practical points. First, mods are community projects: none of the above is made or endorsed by Infinimelon, and none of them is required to play. Second, the game has been patched four times in its first four days (0.15.1 through 0.15.4) — anything that touches DLLs is likely to need updating each time the game does.

If what you actually want is to spawn items or edit terrain, you do not need a mod at all: the built-in cheat menu and chat commands do that, and the item ID list has the IDs those commands need.
