mod.io Alternatives

mod.io

mod.io is an open platform for hosting mods created by the team behind ModDB.com and IndieDB.com. It can be integrated in-game using the REST API, C/C++ SDK or engine plugins for Unity, Unreal Engine and GameMaker.

Features include:

- Platform agnostic (support 1 click mod installs on Steam, Epic Games Store, Discord, GOG, itch.io and even consoles in the future)
- Clientless (mod.io has no other dependencies and works behind the scenes in your game)
- Embeddable web app UI, so you can integrate your mod community anywhere
- Powerful search, filtering and tagging of mods
- Moderation and reporting systems built-in

Benefits of using mod.io:

- mod.io offers the same core functionality as Steamworks Workshop (1 click mod installs in-game), plus mod hosting, moderation and all of the critical pieces needed. Where we differ is our approach to modding and the flexibility a REST API offers. For example:
- Our API is not dependent on a client or SDK, allowing you to run mod.io in many places such as your homepage and launchers
- Designing a good mod browsing UI is hard, our plugins ship with a UI built in to save you a lot of effort and help your mods stand out
- We don’t apply rules globally, so if you want to enable patronage, sales or other experimental features, reach out to discuss
- Our platform is built by the super experienced ModDB.com team and is continually improving for your benefit
- Your community can consume the mod.io API to build modding fan sites or discord bots if they want
