🧩 ModKit SDK — Ship a Moddable Game in Days, Not Months

Players love games they can mod. ModKit SDK gives your Unreal Engine game a complete, drag-and-drop modding pipeline — without you writing the plumbing.

Drop the plugin in your project, call StartLoadMods(), and any .pak your players put in the

/Mods folder is scanned, validated, and mounted with full asset overrides, Blueprint class swaps, DataTable row

injections and automatic dependency resolution. Everything is exposed to Blueprints via UModLoaderSubsystem — IDs,

thumbnails, tags, hot-reload, search, enable/disable persistence.

Pair it with the free companion listing ModKit — Mod Creator and your modders get a full authoring wizard + packaging

pipeline that produces compatible .pak files out of the box.

---SDK — Mod Creator---

ModKit — Mod Creator available separately here for end-users to create and package mods. (free)

📦 MOD LOADING

• Drag-and-drop /Mods folder — players install by copying a folder

• Manual StartLoadMods() trigger — full control over your loading flow

• Dependency resolution with topological sort and cycle detection

• Hot-reload in the Editor — iterate without restarting

• Enable / disable mods at runtime, persisted to disk

🧩 CONTRIBUTION SYSTEM

• Asset overrides — mods shadow any /Game/ asset by shipping at the same path (automatic, no declaration)

• Class overrides — swap Blueprint classes via ModContributions.json

• DataTable row merging — auto same-path detection or explicit JSON

• New content — every asset in the mod is queryable via QueryModAssets

• Configurable conflict policies (Priority / LastWins / Error)

🌐 MULTIPLAYER VERIFICATION

• Drop-in UModHandshakeComponent for your PlayerController — no inheritance required

• Per-mod MD5 hash check between server and clients at join

• Automatic kick on mismatch with detailed Missing / Extra / Mismatched diff

• Mod toggle locked during a session — no mid-game desync

🔒 NATIVE-CODE REJECTION (always active)

• Mods declaring CppModuleNames are rejected at load

• Recursive .dll scan of every mod folder — catches undeclared payloads

• Drag-and-drop mods never execute native code

🏷️ VERSION & COMPATIBILITY

• Per-mod MinGameVersion / MaxGameVersion (SemVer)

• Host game version set in Project Settings → ModKit Runtime

• Incompatible mods reported with typed EModLoadResult codes

📚 BLUEPRINT API & TOOLS

• Full Blueprint exposure via UModLoaderSubsystem and UModContentRegistry

• Thumbnail loading, tag filtering, name search

• C++ SDK Generator — export your game's public API as headers for modders

• In-engine ModKit Panel + Edit Mod window for managing mods without leaving the Editor

⚠️ Important Notes

• IoStore (.utoc / .ucas) packaging is available on UE 5.4 and above. UE 5.1–5.3 use classic PAK.

• The multiplayer handshake requires UModHandshakeComponent to be added to your project's PlayerController class.

• The companion free plugin ModKit — Mod Creator must be installed by your mod authors (separate Fab listing).

• Asset/Blueprint mods only by design — native C++ mods are rejected; this is the security boundary.
