You want to expand your Bonelab experience. The game developers chose mod.io as the official repository for community content. You find levels, avatars, guns, and items on this platform. You install these mods using the in-game menu or manual file transfer.
You get the best experience when you link your mod.io account to the game.
Open Bonelab on your headset or PC.
Go to the Mods section in the main menu.
Select External.
Choose Login.
You see a code on your screen.
Open a browser on your phone or computer.
Go to mod.io/connect.
Enter the code.
You now subscribe to mods on the website. They download automatically the next time you open the Mods menu in Bonelab.
You might prefer to manage files yourself.
Go to mod.io/g/bonelab.
Browse for a mod you want.
Click the mod to view its page.
Check the Tags to ensure it supports your platform.
Select the download icon under Live Files.
Choose the Android version for Quest or Windows version for PCVR.
Download the zip file.
Extract the folder inside.
Move that folder to your Bonelab Mods directory.
You need the correct file path for manual installation.
Windows: Go to AppData then LocalLow then Stress Level Zero then BONELAB then Mods.
Quest: Go to Android then data then com.StressLevelZero.BONELAB then files then Mods.
Why are my mods not showing up?
You likely installed the wrong version. Quest users need the Android build. PC users need the Windows build. You must also extract the zip file before moving it.
Do I need a PC to mod Quest?
No. You use the internal mod repository in the game. You connect your account and download everything inside the headset.
Is mod.io free?
Yes. You create an account and download files without payment.
What is the difference between mod.io and Thunderstore?
Mod.io hosts official SDK content like maps and avatars. Thunderstore hosts code mods that change game mechanics. You need Thunderstore for things like Fusion multiplayer.
How do I update mods?
The game updates subscriptions automatically if you linked your account. You delete the old folder and download the new file if you install manually.
