BSMK mods
BSMK is another Block Story mod ecosystem, made by third parties with no connection to the game’s developers. Aether includes a compatibility bridge that runs its mods without changing any of their files.
- Put the mod’s
.dllinAether/Mods, or use “Add mod…” in Aether Monitor. - Never install BSMK’s
BlockStoryCore.dll: Aether already ships its own and the two clash. - To know whether a mod works before installing it:
./aether compat mod.dll --bridge <game>/BepInEx/plugins/Aether/Aether.Compat.BSMK.dll
What has been measured (5 November 2026)
| Mod | Status |
|---|---|
| Minimap, CharacterEditor, NpcMenu, CraftFromInventory, VeinMiner | Loads and was checked in the game |
| SoulTools, BetterFishing | Loads; not tested in play |
| Xenor | Does not load: needs creature features the bridge lacks |
“Loads” does not mean every feature is verified. Details and method are in the compatibility audit.
