Mods



Mods (short for modifications) are external changes of Don't Starve game content from what it originally was. Mods are usually developed by the Don't Starve community. They present new player experiences and tweaks to the game, such as making the game easier or harder, or modifying game attributes that change the way certain elements  in the DS World function.

There are various kinds of mods including Modding Tools, Game Modifications, Language Packs, Custom Maps and new Characters.
