More builds. More bosses. Better loot.
ModLab is an all-in-one gameplay and quality-of-life mod suite for Minecraft Dungeons II. Build a persistent Berserker, farm repeatable Soul Storms, take on boss challenges and manage loot with rules you control.
Everything is managed through one English F10 menu, embedded in the game. Your settings and character progression remain saved between sessions.
Recommended: Complete Manual Package on Nexus
The alpha.2 manual package is the current approved download. Close the game,
extract it and follow the included README to copy its two folders into the
game's Dungeons/Content/Paks/~mods directory. It includes the integrated loader
and the gameplay suite. Start through Steam and press F10.
The installer candidates have not been cleared for recommendation. The latest alpha.7 portable candidate uses a normal desktop application beside the same eight runtime files, with no embedded executable or separately launched worker. Its completed EXE scan shows 2/71 detections (McAfee Scanner and SecureAge). The ZIP's 0/66 result does not clear the separately flagged EXE. Transaction, rollback and alpha.2 migration tests passed; antivirus review remains open. Separate component scans, packaging comparisons and Nexus quarantine are recorded in the scan record. These observations are not approval or a safety guarantee. Do not disable security software to install it.
Earlier release notes and checksums
There is no desktop ModLab application to run during gameplay.

Build a melee character around Rage, empowered melee hits and temporary combat buffs.
- Generate Rage through melee hits, incoming damage and kills.
- Earn Mastery XP from combat and progress through 20 class levels.
- Spend talent points across 12 talents in three branches.
- Save three talent and hotkey loadouts per character.
- Respec talents without losing Mastery progress.
- Rebind both active skills.
| Skill | Default key | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| War Cry | H | Available at level 1. Spend 20 Rage for 6 seconds of increased melee damage and armor. |
| Rampage | V | Spend full Rage for a burst of melee attack speed and damage. |
- Blood: kill healing, Second Wind sustain, Predator's Edge finishing damage and Crimson Feast empowered hits.
- Fury: attack speed, extra Rage, Rising Fury damage from stored Rage and extended Rampage.
- Juggernaut: armor, defensive Rage generation and stronger War Cry.
| Passive | Effect |
|---|---|
| Second Wind | Melee hits heal 0.4% maximum health per rank, at most once per second. |
| Predator's Edge | Melee hits deal 6% additional damage per rank when the target is left at 35% health or less. |
| Crimson Feast | Every fifth melee hit deals 25% additional damage and heals 3% maximum health, at most once every 2 seconds. |
| Rising Fury | Each full 25 Rage adds 2% melee damage per rank, capped at 8% per rank. Spending Rage lowers the bonus. |
| Warbringer | War Cry lasts 1 second longer and grants 5% additional armor per rank. |
Existing talent investments, character progression and saved builds remain valid.
See your Rage, two skill hotkeys, cooldowns, remaining buff durations, Rising Fury damage bonus and Crimson Feast five-hit progress. War Cry and Rampage have separate timers, duration bars and animated character effects. Timers pause with the offline game.
Class selection, Mastery, talents, Ascension and loadouts are saved for each character. Temporary combat buffs clear on death or travel.
At Berserker level 5, start the Trial in a suitable Dungeon or Rift room.
Defeat Soul Witch, Supreme Evoker and Redstone Monstrosity in one attempt. No War Cry or Rampage casts are required. Death, leaving or abandoning ends the attempt.
Passing awards 200 Mastery XP and permanent Ascension for that character. All Ascension talents unlock immediately after passing, with no extra Mastery level requirement. Learning a talent uses the normal branch prerequisites and talent points. Recorded three-boss completions from older versions automatically receive Ascension and its one-time XP reward.
Choose one of seven supported regions for repeatable Soul Storms.
Destroy all three generators, collect the completion reward and begin another cycle after a 15-second interval. Switching regions ends the previous Storm before starting the new one.
Set generator chest rolls and completion chest rolls independently, from 1× to 10×.
For example, 3× produces three independent rewards from that chest's reward tier. Rarity continues to be rolled normally.
Combine native item pools from ten regions, covering 99 base item families and their variants.
This expands the gear available from earned Soul Storm chests while preserving native Power, rarity, Soul Storm properties and bonus effects.
- Show active generators on the map outside normal discovery range.
- Click an active generator on the M map to travel beside it.
- Optionally prevent the three protective shield pylons from appearing.
- Remove existing pylons when the shield option is enabled.
Create a sequence of 1–6 boss fights in a suitable Dungeon or Rift room.
The current pool contains:
- Soul Witch
- Supreme Evoker
- Redstone Monstrosity
Boss Rush uses a fixed order. Boss Roulette shuffles each set of three and avoids consecutive repeats. Each fight includes preparation time.
- Bosses retain their normal loot.
- Each defeated boss adds a reward chest with one random eligible Enchantment Book you do not already own.
- Quest books are excluded.
- Complete a 1–3 boss run for one bonus chest.
- Complete a 4–6 boss run for two bonus chests.
Death, leaving or abandoning ends the run without its completion bonus.
Add extra miniboss encounters during exploration.
- Enable Dungeon Director and Rift Director separately.
- Choose up to eight extra minibosses per expedition.
- Adjust the minimum time between encounters.
- Fight one additional miniboss at a time.
- Main boss arenas and crowded rooms are protected.
Director encounters pause during Boss Rush.
Choose Keep or Sell separately for: Common, Rare, Special, Unique and Gilded gear.
Auto Sell follows the filter's saved decisions and salvages unwanted gear for Emeralds.
Enable a minimum Power threshold to protect stronger gear.
Disable “Use Power filter” to sell the selected rarities at any Power. Other protection rules still apply.
- Equipped gear is always protected.
- Optionally protect favorites, enchanted gear and artifacts.
- Matching Wanted Items can override general sale rules.
- Preview which items will sell, stay or cannot be sold.
- See the reason for each decision and its Emerald reward.
The preview does not sell anything. Save your rules and resume gameplay to begin automatic sales.
Track up to 16 gear targets, including items you have not found yet.
Choose the item, target rarity and minimum Power. Matching drops can be protected from Auto Sell and announced when found.
Targets remain active until removed or disabled.
Manage owned melee weapons, ranged weapons and armor, including equipped gear.
- Search your equipment by name.
- Select a compatible Enchantment Book you own.
- Apply or upgrade an enchantment.
- Remove an enchantment and receive the game's applicable refund.
The Workshop uses the game's costs and compatibility rules.
- Auto pickup with adjustable range and delay.
- Automatic opening of nearby chests.
- Auto pickup skips TNT and throwable objects.
- M-map travel to Dungeon/Rift entrances, minecarts and active generators.
- F2–F6 camp shortcuts.
- Infinite arrows.
- Adjustable bow recharge speed.
- Adjustable movement and melee/ranged attack speed.
- XP and currency gain multipliers.
- Adjustable additional item drop chance.
Drop chance uses added percentage points: +10 means ten additional percentage points.
Increase capacity to:
- 1,000,000 Emeralds
- 10,000 Echo Shards
Enable it with one checkbox. It increases capacity without granting currency. Saved overflow balances survive restarts.
Monitor rolling DPS, total damage and your latest hit.
Expedition reports include:
- Duration, deaths and observed kills
- Extra minibosses defeated
- Total damage, peak DPS and expedition average DPS
- Gear found and valuable drops
- Auto Sell item counts and Emerald rewards
Boss Rush reports also record boss order, bosses defeated and reward chests. Recent run histories remain saved.
Equip Headhunter from the Relics page to steal supported powers from Soul-Enchanted enemies you defeat.
- Each power lasts 30 seconds.
- Up to six different powers can remain active.
- Repeated powers refresh their duration.
- A seventh power replaces the one closest to expiry.
- The HUD displays remaining time.
- Temporary powers clear on death, travel or unequip.
Supported powers include Poison, Ice, Lightning, Fire, Melee, Ranged, Speed, Health, Soul Orbs, Soul Leech, Soul Ripple and Soul Suppression.
Monster powers are adapted into player stat buffs. Elemental powers boost matching damage already present in your build.
Controlled native tests and theft events in a real play session have been observed. Wider natural-encounter coverage is still being verified.

Run the same ModLab Setup again:
- Install / Update updates the complete installation together.
- Remove / Restore returns to the installation present before the first ModLab Setup run.
Existing ModLab files and known conflicting Blueprint packages are backed up under the game's ModLabBackups folder, outside mounted Paks. Existing standalone bootstrap installations are adopted automatically. Keep those backups if you need restoration. Do not recreate or delete ownership records.
Character saves, persisted settings and unrelated mods are not changed by Setup. If an older ModLab version was installed before Setup, restoration brings that version back. Damaged records or modified owned files are rejected.
Setup is portable: keep it or redownload it for removal. It has no Windows Apps entry or background service. The EXE is unsigned; verify downloads against the release's SHA256SUMS.txt.
Playing needs no NeoRune SDK, Python or .NET SDK. The alpha.4 installer candidate uses .NET Framework 4.8 and executes its file operations directly in C#. PowerShell is used only by developer build/test scripts. Developer self-test scenarios, probe mods, SDKs and player saves are excluded from the player package.
- Experimental alpha for Steam build 25754144 / game 1.1.2.0 on Windows x64.
- Designed and tested primarily for offline single-player.
- Other game builds, launchers and multiplayer are not verified.
- Headhunter remains experimental; broader natural-encounter coverage is ongoing.
- Direct travel to the final Dungeon/Rift ambush is unavailable in this build.
- An intermittent 0xC0000005 on game shutdown remains open. It has also occurred in package-free controls. ModLab does not claim to fix it.
Validation details distinguish feature checks, installer checks and shutdown results. No unverified feature is presented as fully certified.
Open a GitHub issue and include ModLab version, game build, the affected feature, other installed mods and the steps to reproduce the problem. Screenshots and the exact error help. Do not include character saves or account details unless you intend to share them.
