Anyone signed in to Lucidpedia can publish a mod. Sign in with Discord from the top bar, then open Upload a mod.
What a mod needs
- A name, 3 to 60 characters, and a one-sentence summary of up to 140.
- An address: 3 to 48 lowercase letters, digits and single hyphens, such as
better-hotbar. It can't look like a number, and it can't be changed after the mod is created. - A
.pckof up to 95 MB, a native library (.dll) of up to 32 MB, or both, with a version label such as1.0.0and the game versions you tested it on (exactly one for a version with a library). A mod with a library also needs a source link and the Open source license. - At least one image. A mod can show up to 16 images and YouTube videos, and the first image is its cover.
- Up to 5 tags. The first one is the primary tag.
- A description in the same markdown the wiki uses, up to 64 KB.
- A license.
| License | Meaning |
|---|---|
| All rights reserved | Players may use the mod. Nobody may reupload or modify it. |
| Modify with credit | Others may build on the mod if they credit the author. |
| Open source | The source is public under the license named at the source link. |
You can also link the source, list other mods yours requires, works with optionally or can't run alongside (up to 20), say whether you used AI for its code or assets (players don't see that, only your team and the moderators), and invite co-authors, who join once they accept. Up to 10 people can be credited, you included, and co-authors can publish versions and edit the page.
Submit once the mod has a version and an image.
Review
Your first mod waits for a moderator, who approves it, rejects it or sends it back with a note on what to change. Once a moderator approves one of your mods, you are a trusted author. Your later mods and versions go up on their own when the virus scan finishes, unless one of these holds a version for a moderator:
- The virus scan failed, or an engine flagged the file.
- The version makes a risky call the previous version didn't.
- It has scripts the scan can't read, and the previous version had none.
- It replaces a startup script (an autoload) or the project settings.
- It ships a native library this mod hasn't published before. A moderator checks every one, whoever uploads it.
Trust belongs to a person. A co-author who has never been approved sends their uploads, and a mod they submit, to review.
Versions
Upload new versions from the mod's edit page. Each version has its own files (a .pck, a native library, or one of each), changelog (up to 16 KB) and game versions. Files never change once they are up, so fix a problem with a new version. A version can reuse an earlier version's library: upload the same .dll again, and a build already published on this mod doesn't wait for a moderator again. Up to 3 versions of a mod can wait for a scan or review at once.
A version label starts with a letter or digit and uses letters, digits, ., +, _ and -, up to 32 characters: 1.2.0, v2-beta and 2024.10.1+hotfix all work.
Only a mod that was never published can be deleted.
Native libraries
A version with a native library waits for a moderator whenever the library is new to the mod, even from a trusted author: the site reads the library's headers and VirusTotal scans it, but nothing here can read compiled code. The mod needs a source link and the Open source license, because the game's library is GPL-3.0. Players can install only one native mod at a time, so the mod page and collections list the native mods that clash.

Link to a mod
Text written in the wiki's editor can link to a published mod by its address:
[Better Hotbar](mod:better-hotbar)
[](mod:better-hotbar)The second form shows the mod's current name. In the editor, type ](mod: to search published mods, or [[ and part of a name. If the mod is hidden or not yet published, the text stays and the link goes away.
