Unofficial. Not made by or affiliated with Hexium or Nexus Mods.
A Vortex extension that browses, installs and updates mods from Hexium, for every Hexium game whose mods use BepInEx and that Vortex manages (Valheim, Sunkenland, Burglin' Gnomes, How to Fish, Survival: Fountain of Youth, ...).
- Browse Hexium page: search, category filter, sorting, pages of 20 / 50 / 100 mods (page buttons above and below the list, jump to a page), Install / Update / Installed on every mod, and the mods each one needs.
- Updates through Vortex's own Check for Updates: outdated Hexium mods get the normal update icon.
- Hand-downloaded zips: a Hexium zip dragged into Vortex is recognised by its
manifest.jsonand linked to Hexium for update checks. Right-click → Link to Hexium / Unlink from Hexium for the rest. - Open on Hexium (right-click a Hexium mod) and Open mod page go to the mod's Hexium page.
- Own installer and mod type ("Hexium"):
BepInEx/plugins/<DLL name>/,config→BepInEx/config,patchers→BepInEx/patchers, the same places as the Thunderstore extension for Vortex. BepInEx itself is left to the game's own Vortex extension.
The list of games comes from Hexium (https://hexium.gg/api/experimental/community/). A Vortex game is matched to
a Hexium community by id (burglingnomes = burglin-gnomes) or by name. The game also needs its own Vortex game
extension. Kenshi and Primordialis are left out for now: their mods aren't BepInEx packages.
From Nexus Mods with Vortex, or drop a release zip onto Vortex's Extensions page and restart Vortex.
By hand: copy info.json, hexium.svg and the .js files into %APPDATA%\Vortex\plugins\Hexium (install.ps1 does that).
