WTF Is ModLoader?

ModLoader's function is in the name, it lets you load mods without needing to cook them as layers using Squad's typical modding workflow. You can spawn any actor directly into a single player, coop, or multiplayer server. Create your own functionality, or download existing plugins.

✅ Drop Mods Into Any Layer — No Custom Layers Needed

Ever wanted to inject modded actors into vanilla Squad or other mods — without rebuilding layers?

How It Works

• Load the included layer:
• ModLoader_v1
• This automatically registers ModLoader into your server session.
• Roll into any map — vanilla or modded.
• ModLoader runs silently and spawns all actors defined in:
• /Saved/ModLoader/ModLoader.json

📦 Lightweight & Flexible

This mod includes minimal content to keep file size small. It’s built purely as a framework for gameplay expansion — no custom layers required.

This is a Mod for Modders!

If you are not a modder you dont need to read any further! All you need to know is this mod provides a framework for other mods to be smaller and easier to implement!

👨‍💻 Unlimited Runtime Control

Want to spawn your own Blueprint logic into any map? ModLoader reads a string array called `mods` from a simple JSON file:

/Saved/ModLoader/ModLoader.json View the Example Thread ModLoader will spawn each of these actors at (0,0,0) in the order listed. These actors can then:

• Bind to PlayerControllers or Soldiers
• Force material overrides
• Trigger functions on begin play
• Manage your own mod logic entirely in Blueprint
• Stack multiple mods together dynamically

The sky’s the limit. This is a silent runtime injector — no layer editing required, fully compatible with vanilla and other modded content.
