Thanks for contributing to the **Balatro Mod Index** and helping the community grow! ## Submission Policy
All submissions must be safe, legal, and appropriate for a general audience. This means:
1. No mods containing malware or spyware.
2. No copyrighted content that is used without permission.
3. No hateful, discriminatory, or offensive material.
By submitting your own mod to the *Balatro Mod Index*, you are agreeing to allow your mod to be displayed in and redistributed by [Balatro Mod Manager](https://github.com/skyline69/balatro-mod-manager/).
If you would like your content to be removed from the *Balatro Mod Index* at any point, please create an [Issue](https://github.com/skyline69/balatro-mod-index/issues) or submit a [Pull Request](https://github.com/skyline69/balatro-mod-manager/pulls) with the relevant content deleted.
### Third-Party Submissions
Mods should ideally be submitted by their creators. If you would like to submit a mod on behalf of a mod's creator, please do so in a way that is considerate of the author, their creative works, and their time.
Mods will only be accepted on the Balatro Mod Index if they have been released under a redistribution-friendly license (such as GPL, MIT, MPL or similar), or if the mod's authors have given explicit and public permission.
It is strongly encouraged to ask for permission before submitting other's mods to the *Balatro Mod Index*, regardless of license.
**Before submitting mods created by other people:**
1. Check that the mod is **working** on the most current version of the game, and has not been **deprecated** or **abandoned**.
2. Check that the mod's **license** allows **redistribution** by third parties - otherwise, **ask permission** from the creator.
3. Check the mod's requirements for **Steamodded** and **Talisman**, along with any other dependencies that should be listed in the description.
4. Check if the mod requires a specific installation **folder name**, and set the `folderName` parameter accordingly.
5. Check that the mod doesn't have any other special or unusual **installation requirements**.
6. Check if the mod has any **promotional images** that might be suitable for use as a **thumbnail**.
When submitting a mod on behalf of someone else, please link to the latest **Release** whenever possible rather than the latest repository HEAD.
This helps to keep modded Balatro stable for more players, by only using tested releases instead of potentially untested in-development builds.
