Follow these steps to put ShroudForge in your game folder, open the Mods window, and add a mod you downloaded.

== Before you start ==

Close Enshrouded. A "mod" is an extra made by a player that changes or adds something in the game. ShroudForge has a window that shows your mods. Your game folder is the one containing <code>enshrouded.exe</code>.

== 1. Download ShroudForge ==

Open the [https://github.com/bonsaibauer/shroudforge/releases/latest latest release] and save the Windows ZIP file. A ZIP is a packed folder. You need to extract it before use.

== 2. Copy the files into the game folder ==

Right-click the ZIP file and choose "Extract All". Open the extracted folder and copy all files and folders from the ZIP into the folder that contains <code>enshrouded.exe</code>.

A common Steam folder is:

<code>C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Enshrouded</code>

The game folder should look similar to this:

<pre>
Enshrouded/
├─ enshrouded.exe
├─ dbghelp.dll
├─ dinput8.dll
├─ winmm.dll
├─ shroudforge/
│ └─ shroudforge.exe
└─ mods/
</pre>

The loader files and <code>mods/</code> folder come from the ShroudForge release ZIP.

== 3. Start Enshrouded and open the Mods window ==

Start Enshrouded. Press <kbd>F9</kbd> to open the ShroudForge window and see your mods. Press <kbd>F10</kbd> to read ShroudForge messages if something is not working.

* '''F9''' opens the Mods window.
* '''F10''' opens ShroudForge messages.

== 4. Find and add a mod ==

Find an Enshrouded mod on a community site, for example [https://www.nexusmods.com/enshrouded/mods/ Nexus Mods]. Read the creator’s instructions, then download and extract the mod. Copy its folder into <code>Enshrouded/mods/</code>. Your mods folder might look like this:

<pre>
mods/
└─ my-mod/
├─ mod.json
├─ extended.mod.json (optional)
└─ src/mod.lua
</pre>

Follow the mod creator’s installation instructions.

== 5. Check that the mod is ready ==

Press <kbd>F9</kbd> and open Installed. If your mod is listed, you can switch it on. Some mods need you to restart the game.

=== Mods that change game files ===

Mods that change game files need to be prepared before the game starts. Close the game and start it from the game folder with this command:

<pre>
./shroudforge/shroudforge.exe launch "."
</pre>

== Playing on a server? ==

Your PC and the game server are separate. Copy the mod to both places if you want to use it in a shared world. See the [https://bonsaibauer.github.io/shroudforge/en/#server server instructions].
