Monster Hunter Rise Modding on OpenMods

Monster Hunter Rise's mod scene parallels MH:World on the same foundation

Monster Hunter Rise (2022 PC release, Sunbreak expansion) is Capcom's parallel Monster Hunter on the RE Engine. The modding architecture is essentially identical to MH:World: REFramework, Fluffy Mod Manager, native and Lua mods.

The catalogue is smaller than MH:World's (MH:World had years to grow before MH Rise's PC release), but the foundational mods are mature and the patterns transfer directly.

The toolchain

• REFramework: same Lua framework as MH:World, with MH Rise–specific scripts.
• Fluffy Mod Manager: supports both MH:World and MH Rise.
• Direct file install: same nativePC/ and chunkN/ patterns.

What you'll find on OpenMods

MH Rise mods live primarily on Nexus Mods. GitHub hosts source for REFramework. OpenMods catalogues GitHub-published MH Rise content.

Practical notes

• Same anti-cheat caution as MH:World. Private lobbies safe; public matchmaking with gameplay mods risky.
• Sunbreak expansion is baseline. Most modern MH Rise mods assume Sunbreak.
• REFramework version sensitivity. Patches break REFramework periodically; wait for updates.
• Smaller catalogue than World. Set expectations accordingly.
