✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (6,803 endorsements) — this is a staple for modders
- Massive download count (592k) shows it's widely used and stable
- Actively updated (November 2025) — you know it's not abandoned
⚠️ Cons

- No explicit install instructions or dependency list — might require some trial and error
For mod authors who want to extend their creations with new assets and map properties. Also for players who use mods that require EMP as a dependency. Skip if you're looking for direct gameplay content — this is a behind-the-scenes tool.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're a mod user, check if your other mods list EMP as a dependency — you'll need it installed for them to work.
- If you're a mod author, explore the EMP documentation on the mod page to see what features you can leverage.
- Since it's a framework, test your mods in a separate save to avoid conflicts with other mods.
