ModGenie is an AI mod finder that helps you turn a gameplay idea into a list of mods to consider. You might want more inventory space, less time spent travelling, or something new for your next multiplayer session. Choose your game, describe the change, and compare the relevant projects.
For Valheim, you can take your choices further by building a modpack and exporting a code for your mod manager. Here's how the process works, from the first search to getting your setup ready.
ModGenie searches the mod information indexed for your chosen game, with sources including Thunderstore, Steam Workshop and Modrinth. The sources available depend on the game. Here are a few places to start:
| Game | Mod source | A request you could try |
|---|---|---|
| Valheim | Thunderstore | I want to craft and build using materials in nearby chests, so I spend less time moving items around. |
| Project Zomboid | Steam Workshop | I'm playing Build 42 and want NPC companions who can follow me and help in combat. |
| Minecraft | Modrinth | I want better frame rates while keeping the original look of the game. |
Include any particular version or multiplayer requirements in your request. The Minecraft search page also has game version and mod loader options, so you can select your setup before looking for features.
You can ask for several things at once, such as a bigger inventory, a higher carry limit, and keeping your items after death. ModGenie looks for mods for each part of the request and organizes the relevant results. Read what each project covers; one mod may already handle more than one of those changes.
AI helps interpret your request, and candidate results are checked against the mod information indexed for your game. Each result links to the project's page, where you can read the author's description and configuration notes before choosing it.
Once a mod looks useful, check whether it fits the version and setup you're playing. Version labels can help you spot what needs a closer look:
For multiplayer, also check whether the mod belongs on each player's computer, the server, or both. A change to your own interface can have different installation requirements from a change to the game rules.
For most games, open the project link and follow the author's instructions for the appropriate platform or manager. Steam Workshop subscriptions, Minecraft mod loaders, and Thunderstore mod managers each have their own setup process.
For Valheim, you can select mods in ModGenie and generate a modpack import code. The export brings together your chosen mods, dependencies, and the configuration included in the pack. Import the code into a compatible manager, such as r2modman or Thunderstore Mod Manager, to install the setup.
Your manager will usually refer to this as importing a profile. Once the import is complete, launch through the manager. The Valheim mod installation guide covers installation and configuration if you need help getting started.
ModGenie finds mods that have already been published. AI is used to understand the changes you want and find relevant projects. The search does not write a new mod for your game.
ModGenie currently helps you discover and choose mods, and prepare an importable modpack for Valheim. Your mod manager handles local installation, launching, and later updates. You can use ModGenie for the search and setup preparation, then continue in the manager you use to play.
Results link to the author's project on its source platform, such as Thunderstore, Steam Workshop or Modrinth. Check the available versions and dependencies there, then follow the instructions to download, subscribe, or install through a supported manager.
Check their dependencies and conflict notes first. Mods that each match your request can still change the same game systems. Pay particular attention to the authors' instructions about incompatible mods, installation order, and configuration.
Try searching for one change at a time, adding your game version, or describing the request differently. A relevant mod may not be indexed yet, or there may be no project that does what you want.
If you know a mod that should have appeared, send me the game, your original search, and a link to the project. That gives me a useful starting point for checking what was missed.
If you're still deciding what you'd like to change, browse the mod answers and guides for ideas built around specific gameplay questions.
