Hollow Knight: Silksong from Team Cherry has already inspired a tidy ecosystem of community-made improvements as of September 2025. This roundup collects seven mods that alter damage, map tools, item pickup, and other quality-of-life changes that can reshape how progression feels in Pharloom.
Modders are shipping minor fixes and clever tweaks across many parts of the game, from combat bluntness to the map UI. A few of these mods reduce frustration, while others free up Tool slots, allowing more powerful abilities to be used simultaneously.
| Mod | Effect |
|---|---|
| No Double Damage | Forces all enemy and boss hits to deal a single health pip. |
| Permanent Compass Effect | Applies the Compass map marker at all times without occupying a Tool slot. |
| Boss & Enemy Health Bars | Shows health overlays for normal foes and bosses so remaining HP is visible. |
| Permanent Magnet Effect | Grants the Magnetite Brooch pickup effect permanently so Rosary Beads are easier to collect. |
| Teleport | Creates a custom checkpoint that can be set anywhere already explored and returned to later. |
| All Enemies Drop Rosary Beads | Makes every enemy drop Rosary Beads, increasing the currency flow for upgrades and benches. |
| FlintSlatePlus | Extends or customizes the Flintslate buff duration so fire or poison imbuements last longer. |
How to install Silksong mods
Mod installation requires a modding framework. The standard method uses BepInEx version 5 as the plugin host, and the basic steps are simple: download the framework, run and exit the game to create folders, drop chosen mods into the plugins folder, then restart.
