Boneworks Modding on OpenMods

Stress Level Zero's VR sandbox with MelonLoader modding

Boneworks (2019) is Stress Level Zero's physics-driven VR shooter. The modding scene is built on MelonLoader (the same IL2CPP-supporting build used for several other Unity VR games) plus community-built frameworks for Boneworks's specific systems.

The mod scene is smaller than Blade & Sorcery's but follows similar patterns: weapon additions, NPC mods, gameplay overhauls. Many Boneworks modders moved to Bonelab (the 2022 sequel) once it released; expect Boneworks's catalogue to remain stable but not grow significantly.

The toolchain

• MelonLoader (IL2CPP): the mod loader.
• Boneworks-specific helper mods: community frameworks for the physics-based player.
• Manual install: drop into Boneworks's Mods/ folder.

What you'll find on OpenMods

Boneworks mods live primarily on Nexus Mods and ModThunderstore. GitHub hosts source for some larger mods. OpenMods catalogues GitHub-published Boneworks mods.

Practical notes

• Bonelab is the modern target. Many Boneworks modders migrated. Boneworks catalogue is stable but not actively growing.
• VR-only. No flat-screen support.
• MelonLoader IL2CPP build. Pick the right MelonLoader branch.
