Eco ModKit Documentation

Welcome to the Eco ModKit documentation website. This website serves as complete resource for all aspects of the Eco modding api. It is automatically generated and current with the latest version of Eco.

Modding is how the base game is extended with new features such as blocks, animals and additional game play rules. Some mods only change server-side functionality, while others may add additional visualizations and interactions on the client side. Mods may be developed by Strange Loop Games or independent developers and added to the game by server admins. There is no charge for access to the API and all of the tooling for mod development is freely available.

Documentation

• Client API Documentation - Documentation for the Client Unity3D Eco Modkit package.

Existing Mods

For those simply looking to install an existing mod a great tutorial can be found on our Wiki available here.

Mods can also be found on third-party websites. The best places to find existing Eco mods currently are:

• Mod.io — Official host for Eco mods, with API available for mod management. This is the recommended place to download mods, especially if you are new to modding.
• Eco Forums filebase — Many more mods than Mod.io, but has no API.
• Eco Modding Forums — The modding section of the official forums.
• Eco Discord server — The offical Discord server has several modding channels.

Features and Requests

Have a feature or Modkit example you'd like to request? You can now make an issue on our Modkit tracker available here to request a feature be added or an example mod be made. All ModKit issues will flow through our normal issue tracker available here.
