Installing LemonLoader for BONELAB Patch 6 on your standalone VR headset (like the Meta Quest) allows you to experience custom mods that elevate gameplay beyond the vanilla experience. This updated step-by-step guide walks you through the full installation process, tailored specifically for Patch 6 compatibility.

⚠️ Before You Begin: Always use the latest LemonLoader version that’s confirmed to work with Patch 6. For best results, refer to the official LemonLoader.com and active modding community channels.

✅ Step 1: Enable Developer Mode on Your Meta Quest

To sideload apps like LemonLoader, you’ll need Developer Mode enabled:

    • Go to Menu → Devices.
    • Select your headset.
    • Tap Developer Mode and toggle it ON.
  3. Restart your headset if necessary.

✅ Step 2: Install SideQuest on Your PC

Download SideQuest, a popular sideloading tool, from sidequestvr.com.

  • Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
  • Install and launch the app.

✅ Step 3: Connect Your Meta Quest to Your PC

  1. Power on your Quest headset.
  2. Plug it into your computer using a USB-C cable.
  3. Inside the headset, allow USB debugging and check “Always allow from this computer.”

Your device should now appear connected in SideQuest (look for a green dot in the upper-left corner).

✅ Step 4: Download the Correct LemonLoader APK

Head to the official LemonLoader.com or a trusted modding Discord to download the correct APK. The file may be named something like:

https://lemonloader.com/download-lemonloader-apk/

Make sure it’s compatible with BONELAB Patch 6 and intended for standalone Quest use.

✅ Step 5: Sideload LemonLoader APK to Your Quest

With your headset connected and SideQuest open:

Option 1: Drag and drop the APK directly into the SideQuest window.
Option 2:

  • Click the “Install APK” (+ icon) on the top.
  • Select the LemonLoader APK from your downloads folder.
  • SideQuest will begin the sideload process.

✅ Step 6: Launch LemonLoader & Patch BONELAB

  1. Put your headset on and go to Library → Unknown Sources.
  2. Open LemonLoader Installer.
  3. Select BONELAB from the list of apps.
  4. Tap “Patch” to modify BONELAB with mod support. This might take a minute or two.

Once complete, BONELAB is now mod-ready.

✅ Step 7: Install Your Mods

Mods are typically placed in the game’s internal mod folder. Here’s how:

Mod Folder Location:

Android/data/com.StressLevelZero.BONELAB/files/Mods/

To access this folder

  • Use a file explorer app on the Quest (e.g., Mobile VR Station).
  • Or connect the headset to your PC and navigate via file explorer.
  • Or push files using ADB (Android Debug Bridge) via SideQuest or command line.

Types of Files:

  • .dll files for code-based mods.
  • Asset bundles for custom content.

Place your downloaded mods inside the “Mods” folder (create it if it doesn’t exist).

✅ Step 8: Launch BONELAB and Enjoy

Open BONELAB from your Quest library like normal.
If installed properly, LemonLoader will automatically inject and load your mods on startup.

⚙️ Key Considerations for Patch 6

🔄 LemonLoader & BoneLib Compatibility

  • Many mods depend on BoneLib, a modding library.
  • Make sure your BoneLib version matches the Patch 6 and LemonLoader versions you’re using.
  • Check mod pages or community posts for confirmed compatibility.

⚠️ OBB File Management

  • Usually not needed with current LemonLoader versions.
  • If you run into a black screen, make sure the OBB file exists here: bash – Android/obb/com.StressLevelZero.BONELAB/ Use this as a troubleshooting step only if issues arise.

🔁 Stay Updated

  • The modding scene moves fast.
  • Follow the BONELAB subreddit, Discord channels, or GitHub releases for the latest tool and mod versions.
  • Gettings issue, troubleshoot with us.

🧠 Final Tips

  • Don’t mix mod versions. Mods built for older patches may break or crash your game.
  • Install one mod at a time if you’re new—easier to pinpoint issues.
  • Back up your mods and BONELAB data before doing major updates or reinstalls.

By following this guide, you’ll be fully equipped to unlock a rich, ever-evolving world of BONELAB mods on standalone VR. Whether you’re looking to experiment with physics tweaks, custom avatars, or wild new levels—LemonLoader for Patch 6 has you covered. Happy modding! 🎮
