#How does one make a mod for balatro
lyric abyss
thick reef
i made this for a friend once so i shall share it with you! it's relatively easy to get into if you have some programming knowledge
- Make sure you have Love2D -> https://love2d.org/
- extract Balatro files and copy them somewhere, just to be able to view them in Visual Code Studio, card.lua, game.lua, and (localization) en-us.lua are the files you will reference the most, I keep them open on VCS
- Download Steamodded, the main mod loader for Balatro
- manually put into mods folder in %appdata%/balato (https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/releases/tag/0.9.8)
or use this -> https://github.com/fosterbarnes/steamoddedEZinstaller
(Thread in discord for Steamodded https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1209564621644505158)
- Get Debug Plus -> https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/DebugPlus

- Learn Steamodded API to make jokers specifically from the wiki (https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki)
- Check out their Example Mods full of comments as well, I downloaded it and have it open on VCS too (https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/tree/main/example_mods/Mods/ExampleJokersMod)```
