Note that the game comes with three mods pre-installed named Essentials, Creative Mode and Survival Mode. Congratulations on your very first modded Vintage Story Experience! The mod should be loaded and listed in the mod manager.

In the game's main menu Mod Manager, click the Reload Mods button - or else close and reopen your game. zip file into your Mods folder, that's all you have to do. Once you're in the Mods folder, drag and drop the mod file from the download folder to the Mods folder - or you can use copy and paste commands as you prefer.


Locate the file you just downloaded - in modern browsers such as Chrome, you can right-click on the file downloaded notification and choose "Show in Folder". It creates a folder(names it on its own by IP or servername) in ModsByServer folder for each different multiplayer servers it's located AppData\Roaming\VintagestoryData\ModsByServer Installation in detail Starting from Vintage Story 1.16, when you connect to a multiplayer server which offers a modded game, it will automatically set up the mods correctly for that server on the player's side. You will likely be unable to join the server unless your mod set up matches the mods the server requires. If you want to play on a modded server, follow the server-owner's instructions about which mods to install, and remember to go to the in-game Mod Manager and activate those mods (and no others!) when you want to join that server.
