🔍 Short Answer:
While LemonLoader doesn’t come with mods or manage them directly, it plays a vital role in setting up MelonLoader, which does support a wide range of mods on Android Unity games.
So if you’re asking:
🧩 “What mods are compatible with LemonLoader?”
The better question is:
🎯 “What mods are compatible with MelonLoader on Android (installed via LemonLoader)?”
Let’s dive in.
⚙️ What Is MelonLoader?
MelonLoader is a universal mod loader for Unity games. Once LemonLoader installs it, you can inject all sorts of mods into your game — from gameplay tweaks to full visual overhauls.
🍋 LemonLoader = The Installer
🧰 LemonLoader’s job is to patch the Android game and set up MelonLoader behind the scenes.
🎮 Once done, MelonLoader loads mods whenever the game launches.
🧠 Types of Mods Supported by MelonLoader (on Android)
🧪 1. C# Assemblies (.dll Mods) – The Most Powerful Type
Mods made in C#, Unity’s primary language, compiled into .dll files.
🔧 What they do:
- 🧬 Inject custom code – Add new mechanics, change game logic
- 🪝 Hook into existing functions – Modify or override base game behavior (via Harmony)
- 🧱 Access game objects – Control player stats, enemies, UI, etc.
- 🧮 Create custom UI – Add new menus, overlays, or toolbars
🔍 Examples:
- 🚀 Gameplay overhauls (new skills, mechanics)
- 🖥️ UI and HUD improvements
- 🎯 Cheats & trainers (god mode, infinite money)
- 📦 Custom content loaders
🎨 2. Asset Bundles – Visuals, Models, Audio
Unity Asset Bundles let you load new or modified game assets.
🗂️ What you can modify:
- 🖼️ Textures & Skins
- 👤 3D Models & Prefabs
- 🎵 Custom sound effects or music
- 💎 Shaders & materials
- 🌍 Entire environments or scenes
🔍 Examples:
- 👗 Custom cosmetics (outfits, skins)
- 🎮 Environment tweaks or remakes
- 🔊 Sound packs or music swaps
- ✨ Full visual overhauls
⚙️ 3. Configuration Files – User Customization
Most advanced mods include config files you can edit without touching code.
📁 Common formats:
.ini– Simple text settings.json– Structured configuration.cfg– Lightweight configs
🔍 Examples:
- 🎛️ Change mod behavior (speed, damage, multipliers)
- 🔘 Enable/disable features
- 🧾 Save and load custom UI settings
🧩 4. Other Potential Mod Types (Advanced/Experimental)
While rare, MelonLoader’s flexibility allows:
- 📦 Native plugins (.so files) – C/C++ libraries for deep integrations
- 📝 Lua or other scripting via plugins – Alternate scripting inside mods
- 🛠️ Direct binary patches – For complex game edits (risky & rare)
⚠️ These are less common on Android and often require deeper dev skills.
📉 Limitations & Challenges on Android
Android modding isn’t identical to PC modding. A few roadblocks to keep in mind:
🔒 Anti-Tamper Systems – Some games detect or block modding
📱 Performance Limits – Mobile CPUs/GPUs can choke on complex mods
🔧 IL2CPP vs Mono – IL2CPP games are harder to mod (but MelonLoader supports both)
