The availability of mod support even in multiplayer games is quite a common practice in modern gaming. Surprisingly, V Rising also has mods that can be installed to change individual visual or practical elements, simplifying certain processes, and enhancing the game overall by altering entire mechanics.

However, there are so many mods that you might get lost among those that are truly interesting and practical for you. That's why we've selected the best mods for V Rising that are worth trying.

How to install V Rising mods

Installing mods in V Rising isn't too complicated. The main platforms from which you can download them are Nexus Mods and Thunderstore. Both are time-tested and popular among players worldwide, as they offer a vast library of mods.

Nexus Mods

If you're using Nexus Mods, you'll first need to create an account. Then find the desired mod, download it manually, and move the files to the specified folder in the game installation directory. Instructions are usually available on the mod's page. Some mods require additional libraries, so read the description carefully to meet all the requirements for them to work.

Thunderstore

Thunderstore supports Mod Manager, which greatly simplifies installation. You simply choose a mod and download it through the manager — the program will automatically place the files in the right location. There's also an option for manual download, as with Nexus Mods. Some mods require BepInEx — a modification framework that needs to be installed once to support many mods from Thunderstore.

Before installing any mod, make a backup of your saves and ensure your game version is compatible with the mod. Sometimes mods may not work after updates, so checking compatibility is essential.

QuickStash

This mod makes life easier from the first minute of use. QuickStash automates item sorting, activating the Compulsively Count function on all nearby storages at once. This often saves you time so you don't have to manually go through your entire inventory.

ModernCamera

The basic camera in V Rising works fine, but ModernCamera takes it to a new level. You can freely rotate the camera, zoom in and out, and even switch to a first-person view. This makes exploring the world and battles much more enjoyable.

CoffinSleep

In the standard game, sleeping in a coffin only saves your character. With CoffinSleep, time continues to pass during sleep: resources regenerate, NPCs respawn, and missions progress. If a Blood Moon occurs, time stops, giving you a chance to wake up and take advantage of the event.

BetterMissions

In the game, servants go on real-time missions, and this process usually takes hours. BetterMissions allows you to shorten these intervals or make time pass even when you're offline. The mod pairs well with CoffinSleep, allowing your castle to operate autonomously.

Bloodcraft

Bloodcraft is more of an expansion than just a mod. It adds an improved leveling system, classes, daily quests, professions (such as fishing or mining), and the ability to tame enemies. It completely changes the feel of the game, turning it into a full-fledged RPG — almost altering the very essence of the game. Furthermore, it's definitely one of V Rising best mods ever.

Ores for Blind People

Some players may find it difficult to distinguish regular rocks from those containing ore. This mod changes the appearance of resource nodes, making them much more noticeable. For some, this is a minor detail, but for others, this change helps save significant time.

Invisible Cloaks

Not everyone likes the look of cloaks in the game. If you're one of those people, Invisible Cloaks allows you to hide the visual appearance of the cloak without losing its characteristics and actual presence. However, the mod only affects crafted cloaks, except those included in the DLC:

• Traveler's Wrap
• Hunter's Cloak
• Phantom's Veil
• (Alt) Tatters of the Undead
• (Alt) Cardinal's Cloak
• (Alt) Royal Veil of the Jester

Sanguis

Sanguis adds daily login bonuses to the game. The longer you're online, the more Sanguis you earn. Essentially, it's an in-game currency that can be exchanged for items. The mod is especially useful for multiplayer servers — it encourages player activity and frequent visits. The amount of login bonuses can be customized.

BloodyBoss

The BloodyBoss mod allows you to create your own bosses in V Rising with customizable parameters and random rewards for victory. It's a great tool for servers where most standard bosses have already been defeated or when you want more variety.

CrimsonQuest

CrimsonQuest adds daily and weekly quests to V Rising. You can customize the objectives yourself — for example, defeat a specific V Blood carrier or achieve results in PvP. The mod is still in development but is already quite stable and functional. Future updates are expected to include story quests, world events, temporary tasks, and additional objectives.

CrimsonMoon

If you're tired of constantly waiting for the Blood Moon, CrimsonMoon allows you to summon it manually using a sacrificial altar and some rare resources. This opens up new tactical opportunities during hunts or raids. However, be aware of the potential for bugs.

AutoBrazier

The next mod for V Rising — AutoBrazier — automatically turns the lighting in your castle on or off depending on the time of day. During the day, the lights are turned off, and at night they are lit again. This creates a more natural, cozy, and overall aesthetic atmosphere for your base.

Guardian2

This mod gives server administrators full control over who can join the game. Guardian 2 creates a whitelist system that significantly simplifies managing access for other players to your server. Of course, you can set a password for the server in the game, but you never know who and when might share it with others.
