Download BepInEx mod loader for the Burglin’ Gnomes game.
What is BepInEx?
BepInEx (short for Bepis Injector Extendable) is a lightweight, open-source plugin framework and mod loader specifically designed for games built on the Unity engine and the .NET framework (including XNA, FNA, and MonoGame).
It doesn’t provide the mods themselves but creates the environment that allows custom code to run inside the Burglin’ Gnomes game that wasn’t originally designed to support it.
Core Components
BepInEx is essentially a “toolbox” that includes several critical libraries:
Harmony: A library used to “patch” or redirect methods. If a game has a function called DealDamage(), Harmony allows a modder to intercept that function and change how much damage is dealt or just cancel it entirely.
MonoMod: A collection of tools for low-level code manipulation, often used to fix bugs in the Burglin’ Gnomes game’s engine or provide deeper access for complex mods.
Log Console: It can generate a secondary window (a console) that shows real-time data, which is essential for modders to debug their code and for users to see why a mod might be crashing.
How to Install
- Download BepInEx 5.4.2304 (link below). This stable version has been tested and confirmed to work with Burglin’ Gnomes.
- Unzip the files into the game’s root directory (where the Gnomium.exe lives). Example: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Burglin’ Gnomes.
- You run the game once. BepInEx will generate the necessary configuration files and the plugins folder.
- Drop your downloaded mods (usually just .dll files) into BepInEx\plugins.

pls
dosen’t work for me!! 🙁
Follow the installation instructions.
Update: you need to delete any other mod loader.
yo can we get a reply this lowkey hard to do.
What is hard to do? Explain.
yo logre instalarlo pero me sale un mensaje en rojo dentro del ordenador de comandos que me aparece al abrir el juego, pero igualmente parece que me deja jugarlo y ahora probare a poner algun mod
This is the BepInEx version I use myself.
I’ve tried multiple versions from GitHub as well as this version. I copied all of the files as they are in the zip folder, straight into the directory with the game exe. I ran the game, no files were created. I tried running as admin as well, still can’t get any files to be created. Not sure what I could be missing, any help is appreciated.
I figured out my issue, and I’m guessing most have the same problem if you are following the steps exactly, but it still won’t work. I had Melonloader installed for other mods I was using, Bepinex will not install if Melonloader is installed. Follow the readme in Melonloader on how to fully uninstall, once you can run the game without the console window popping up you are good. Once that is the case, follow the install for Bepinex and it should install just fine. I don’t know if Melonloader can be reinstalled after, I’m guessing they will conflict
Hi, sorry for the late response.
You are right, both mod loaders cannot be installed simultaneously. Updated both guides.
MelonLoader can be reinstalled later.
