Installation Guide
Step-by-step guide to install the multiplayer mod
Install BepInEx
Download BepInEx 5.x for Unity games from the official GitHub:
Extract the BepInEx folder to your Silksong game directory:
Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight Silksong/
Run the game once to initialize BepInEx (you'll see a console window).
Install the Mod
Download SilksongMultiplayer.dll from our website.
Copy the DLL file to your BepInEx plugins folder:
BepInEx/plugins/SilksongMultiplayer.dll
💡 If the plugins
folder doesn't exist, create it manually.
Launch the Game
Start Hollow Knight: Silksong normally through Steam or your launcher.
You should see the BepInEx console window appear (this is normal).
If the mod loaded successfully, you'll see a message in the console:
[Info : SilksongMultiplayer] Plugin loaded successfully!
Open Multiplayer Panel
Once in-game, press the F1 key.
This will open the multiplayer menu where you can:
- Enter a server URL
- Connect to servers
- Create or join rooms
- See connected players
Connect to a Server
Go back to the home page and copy a server URL.
Example server URL:
wss://silksong-server-na.onrender.com
Paste it into the mod's server field and click Connect.
Once connected, you can create a new room or join an existing one using an 8-character room code!
