[h2]What will happen to the Mod Contest mods?[/h2]
They will be available permanently via the Mod Manager. You can continue to play them as normal.

[h2]Will the mods continue to be updated?[/h2]
This is solely up to the developer of the Mod.

Now that the Mod contest is over, the developers may continue updating their mods as they please.

We will also leave the Mod Contest category available to view in the Mod Manager for the next 4 weeks, which it will then be hidden (But the mods can still be found via the default search functions and tags).

Hello everyone!

The submissions have now ended for the “Create a Mod” contest.

We recommend backing up your saves before trying Mods (See below point).

In Melvor Idle with Mods enabled from settings:

1. Select the Mod Manager
   
2. Select the orange Filter button next to the search box,
   
3. Select the "Mod Contest 2023" category to see all the mods.
   

You can also view all the Mods here: https://mod.io/g/melvoridle?_sort=name&tags-in=Mod+Contest+2023
.



When testing the mods, it’s important to back up your game file, so none of your progress is lost while trying out the new mods.

The best way to do this is by either creating a “Shareable Save URL,” downloading your Save or Export your save from the Character Select screen (under the Settings dropdown for the respective character).

• Additional content for existing Skills
  
• New Items
  
• New Monsters
  
• New Combat Areas, Slayer Areas or Dungeons

Previous Hotfix already applied
The game will now provide you with a "free death" upon loading if a recent change to the game causes your character to unequip items. This free death lasts for the duration of offline Combat calculations.

A free death means when dying in Combat, you will not lose any items and your HC character will not be deleted.
