Creating Mods

KeeperLoader includes a public C# API and developer guide for creating native Graveyard Keeper mods.

Developers can build mods using

KeeperLoader. API.dll, package them through Manage mods → Build Mod ZIP, and distribute the generated ZIP for direct installation.

Security

KeeperLoader is open source and built through public GitHub Actions.

• Mod packages are validated before installation

• Package files are verified using SHA-256 hashes

• Unsafe archive paths and script types are rejected

• No compiler is downloaded or executed on the player’s computer

• Release packages are scanned with Microsoft Defender before publication

The manager is currently unsigned, so occasional antivirus false positives may occur. Do not disable Windows Security or create antivirus exclusions. Download KeeperLoader only from this Nexus page or the official GitHub repository.
