📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Massive download count (1.2M) proves it's a staple for many mod setups
  • Actively maintained with a recent update (June 2025)
  • Simple installation: just drop into patchers folder

⚠️ Cons

  • Low endorsement count (59) relative to downloads, suggesting it's a behind-the-scenes tool rather than a flashy mod
  • Requires manual setup of MonoMod files, which can be a hassle if missing
  • Not officially linked with BepInEx or MonoMod, so support may be limited
🎯 Is This For You?
This is for mod developers and advanced users who need to generate hooks for their own mods. If you're a player just installing mods, you likely won't need this directly, but it's essential for mods that rely on runtime hooking. Perfect for those comfortable with BepInEx patchers and MonoMod.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Ensure you have BepInEx installed first, then place HookGenPatcher.dll in the BepInEx\patchers folder.
  • If you're missing MonoMod files, download them from the MonoMod repository and place them in the same folder as the patcher.
  • This mod is for developers; if you're a player, you probably don't need to install it manually—it comes bundled with mods that require it.
