How to Install Mods
NOTE: The ESP, Scanner and WurmHelper mods are banned on the Mythmoor server.
This page gives you two options for installing mods:
- Option 1: Package Install - Download and install the a package of mods all at once.
- Option 2: Individual Install - Download and install the Client Mod Loader to receive server packs for server-side mods, and if you want install client side mods individually.
Mythmoor has several server side mods that require Client Mod Loader so your Wurm client can download the necessary content. If you do not have the Client Mod Loader installed, you will not be able to see certain objects.
Option 1: Package Install
Overview
I've created a zip file with mods that you can download and extract to your WurmLauncher folder. You will need to run patcher.bat after you've extracted the files.

Option 2: Individual Install
Overview
How to install Client Mod Launcher to receive server packs for server side mods and install client mods if you want.
Video
Step 1: Download the Client Mod launcher
Ago's Client Mod launcher aka Client Mod loader
Loads the mods into Wurm Unlimited.
This is the tool that enables downloading of server packs (textures, models, data) for server-side mods, and patches the game with client-side mods that you have installed in the WurmLauncher/mods folder. If you just want to download server packs and not client-side mods, you still want to run patcher.bat after installing this tool.
Step 2: Download the Mods
Download only the mods you want.
Live Map
Adds a live map, which is handy for navigation.
Improved Compass
The compass no longer disappears, and has coordinates and height.
Improved Improve
Uses your toolbelt to auto-switch between improve tools, making improving much faster and easier. You will need to make binds for activate, repair and improve. I use these keys: ,=activate .=repair /=improve
CustomClientRender
Toggle trees, grass and more.
Time Lock
Hard sets the time of day.
Custom Actions
Bind any action to a key.
Cave Vision
Sets cave lighting to full brightness. NOTE: This mod only works with the Legacy renderer, which can be selected under Settings, Graphics. Switching from Modern to Legacy renderer disables some of the lighting and reflective effects, so it's a choice you have to make. Fancy graphics or full lit caves.
FixVBO
Only works with the Modern renderer setting (Settings, Graphics). Fixes a bug that causes main altar light pillars and certain mobs to be invisible. The Legacy renderer doesn't have this issue, but lacks advanced graphics you can only get with Modern renderer.
Disable Tree Collisions
Disables bumping into trees, you now walk through them.
Max Toolbelt
Shows a 10 slot toolbelt regardless of its QL and existence. New players on mythmoor get a 100ql toolbelt, so not as useful as it used to be, but nice to have anyway.
Old Mobs
Reverts to an older color view of mobs who have conditions (angry, slow, etc.); the whole mob is dyed the color instead of it being a part of the texture as it is now. Easier for identification. NOTE: This mod is not included in the ZIP file as it is most likely undesirable for most players.
Third Person View
Third person view.
Freecam Mod
Allow you to disconnect your camera from your character.
Season Configure Mod
Allows you to fix the season in place, or custom configure how long you want the seasons to be. Can only be done in the config file, not through console commands in game.
No Winter
Removes the winter season entirely from the game. Fall textures and settings will be used instead. NOTE: This mod is not included in the ZIP file as it is most likely a personal preference to disable winter.
Skill Gain Tracker
Adds a window to track skill gain, with options. NOTE: WU has a skill gain tracker built in.
Archeology Groups
Makes archeology fragment grouping in inventory slightly saner.
Fish Buddy
Automates most things related to fishing.
Range Finder
Bypasses the spyglass check and gives you a permanent rangefinder cursor at the center of your screen.
Sort Mod
Sort Player Inventory On Game Start, Auto Sort Inventory, Sort Container Contents on Window Open, Auto Sort Container Windows, Auto Sort Skills Window

Github
Direct Download
Note that even though the file name is “WalkerClientMods”, it only contains one mod, the sort mod.
Step 3: Install the Mods
NOTE: Not all mods are zipped up the same. Some contain the mods folder in them, some do not. The ones that contain the mods folder go in the WurmLauncher folder. The ones that do not contain the mods folder go in the WurmLauncher\mods folder.
- Find your WU folder: <steam folder>\steamapps\common\Wurm Unlimited\WurmLauncher)
- Unzip the contents client_modlauncher-0.15.zip (or current version) into the WurmLauncher folder, overwrite any files there.
- If the \WurmLauncher\mods folder doesn't exist, create it.
- Unzip the contents of the any/all mods zip files into the WurmLauncher\mods folder.
- Run patcher.bat in the WurmLauncher folder to patch the game.
- Start Wurm from Steam.
Troubleshooting:
If WU loads, but the mods do not work, ensure the individual mod folders exist under the WurmLauncher\mods folder.
If WU does not load at all, delete the mod folders (under WurmLauncher\mods) one at a time to find the bad mod. Older mods will cause WU not to load. Do not delete connectionfix, custommaps or serverpacks folders as these are a part of the Client Mod Launcher. If you do, you'll have to reinstall Client Mod Launcher.
Worst case scenario uninstall and reinstall Wurm Unlimited in Steam and start over. If you're struggling with the manual install watch the videos on this page.
Step 4: Configuration (Optional)
Live Map
If you want to be able to see ores in mines that are beyond the mined areas, you can turn one visibility in the livemap.properties file by setting showHiddenOre=true.
Step 5: How to Use Mods
For detailed instructions on the mods on this page, see the How to Use Mods page.
How To Uninstall Mods
- Close any running copies of Wurm Unlimited.
- Go to the WurmLauncher/mods folder and delete any mod folders you don't want in the game. There are corresponding .properties files you can delete if you want.
- Run patcher.bat to patch the game.
- Run the game. Deleted mods should be gone.
Linux
NOTE: Steam on Linux will not let you run multiple copies of Wurm Unlimited, so if you want to run alts, you'll have to use Windows.
The process is the same for copying files. You'll have to go into Steam, your Library, right click on Wurm Unlimited, Properties, Local Files, Browse. From there you can extract (or copy) your mods into the WurmLauncher folder.
You will need to set your patcher.sh file as executable from a terminal. Browse to the WurmLauncher folder with your file manager, then open a terminal there.
sudo chmod -x patcher.sh
sh ./patcher.sh
You should see the message that the game has been patched.
