Remix

Rain World: Remix is the current major update for the base game, version 1.9, released alongside the launch of the Downpour DLC on January 19th, 2023. Among various tweaks, additions, and bug-fixes, it adds a native mod manager found under the new 'REMIX' tab on the main menu, used to enable and configure new official and unofficial 'modded' content.



These official mods are:


 * Base Game
 * Rain World Remix
 * Dev Tools
 * Downpour Exclusive
 * Expedition
 * Jolly Co-Op
 * More Slugcats Expansion

Steam Store Description
 * Uncover the most popular mods from the thriving modding community with Steam Workshop Support.
 * Toggle new features and comprehensive customization options in Remix to suit your individual needs.
 * Learn new tips and tricks with updated tutorial messages to help players understand Rain World's intricate ecosystem.
 * Control your unique campaign with accessibility, speedrun, and difficulty options sculpted to your particular taste and style.

Background Customization
Within the options menu near the bottom right, next to Input Settings, there is a button with an illustration of a Lizard labeled Backgrounds, which allows for configuring the backgrounds for the title screen and sub menus, able to assign one of the available backgrounds to each. Aside from the title screen background, illustrations from the Story Intro, internally known as Tree, In Tree, Walking, and Hunting are unlocked by default, and if the Downpour DLC is enabled, the new title screen background is enabled by default and can be selected from the Backgrounds menu. The illustration from the Story Outro, known as Up Swim, is unlocked after completing the game, using the same trigger that normally unlocks Hunter and so can be unlocked with cheats. There are also Region themed backgrounds for the 12 base game Regions, which reuse the landscape scenes that are normally found within the Map menu, where Outskirts is unlocked by default and every subsequent background is unlocked once the player has discovered a Shelter within that Region. If Downpour is enabled, the 10 additional Regions are also available as backgrounds, using their respective landscape scenes and unlocked in the same manner as the other Region backgrounds.

Remix Menu
The Remix menu is integrated into the 1.9 update itself, as it officially incorporates the Unity BepInEx plugin loader into Rain World to allow for advanced game modification, a task previously requiring user intervention and use of 3rd party sources for modification, typically through manual installation or community made mod loaders. As such, it is advised that anyone who has modified their game files prior to 1.9 to start with a fresh install in order to avoid complications from its now official integration.

Available mods are displayed as a vertical list on the left side of the screen, where most of the right side is reserved for displaying information about the current mod or general information if none have been selected. Available mods can either be viewed as a list of titles or with thumbnails, via a button near the bottom right side of the list, represented with an icon of a larger square with 3 small squares spaced out underneath it. The scroll button is on the left side, with arrow buttons on the top and bottom of the list to change the current selection, and a search function at the top to navigate through the mod list.

Player-developed mods can be uploaded to the Steam Workshop via the upload-arrow button within the top right corner of the info box. Uploaded mods can be downloaded by subscribing in the Steam Workshop, after which they can be activated in-game via the Remix menu. Some mods require game relaunch on activation.

Mods can also be manually downloaded by placing the relevant folder in the mods folder under StreamingAssets, after which they are also accessible via the Remix menu.
