Where Does Boneworks Store Mods?

Boneworks mods folders on Windows, MelonLoader Mods in the game folder plus Thunderstore profiles explained.

Last updated

Boneworks mods run on MelonLoader inside the install folder. The framework creates Mods, Plugins and UserData trees beside BONEWORKS.exe after one launch. DLL files dropped in Mods load automatically.

Thunderstore hosts a dedicated Boneworks community with managed installs. Manual and manager routes converge on the same Mods folder. Never nest DLLs in subfolders, since the loader scans only the root. Pin MelonLoader versions per guide. Major game patches break old mods until authors rebuild them fully.

Where Boneworks stores this, by platform

Windows
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BONEWORKS\BONEWORKS\Mods

MelonLoader framework in the game root. DLLs in Mods, never in subfolders. Thunderstore profiles converge on the same tree.

Frequently asked questions

How do I install Boneworks mods?

Run the MelonLoader installer against BONEWORKS.exe, launch once, then drop mod DLLs into the Mods folder in the game root. Thunderstore automates the same steps with one click installs and updates.

How do I uninstall MelonLoader?

Delete version.dll plus the MelonLoader, Mods, Plugins and UserData folders from the game root. The game then runs vanilla. Keep a copy of working sets before updates break them.
