Where Does Smalland Store Mods?

Where Smalland keeps mods and world saves on Windows and Linux for backup, servers and moves.

Last updated

Smalland mods live in a Mods folder inside the install with per mod configs beside them. World saves with bases and progress sit apart, so back up both halves for a full move.

Confirm the Steam AppID on SteamDB before scripting Proton or server paths; numbers below fit standard installs. Dedicated servers need identical mod lists to joining clients. Copy with everything stopped, and test the server locally first.

Where Smalland stores this, by platform

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

Mod files in Mods with configs beside them. Worlds live in saves apart. Servers and clients need matching lists.

Linux
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/768200/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Smalland/Mods

Same install relative layout under Proton. Confirm the AppID on SteamDB when scripting; replace the number when installs differ.

Frequently asked questions

How do I install Smalland mods?

Drop the mod files into the Mods folder or import a Thunderstore profile. Each mod sits in its own directory. Restart and read the logs for errors after game updates.

How do I move a modded Smalland world to a new PC?

Copy the whole Mods folder with game and server stopped, plus your world saves for progress. Mods travel in Mods, options beside them. Match versions on the new machine first.
