Uploading a skin to https://northstar.thunderstore.io/.

We'll use the included template below to help us upload to Thunderstore.

13KB

Template.zip

archive

Unzip the Template.zip file.

Here is the "Package Format Documentation" if you'd like: https://thunderstore.io/package/create/docs/.

1. Skin .zip placement

Replace SKIN.zip with you own skin.

This is found in Template\mods\SKIN_NAME\SKIN.zip

You can also rename the SKIN_NAME folder to your preferred skin name.

2. Thunderstore Mod Icon

In Template/mods/icon.png replace icon.png with your own icon named icon.png.

icon.png has to be 256x256 pixels in size.

This is the first thing people see when browsing Thunderstore.

If you need help with making this icon:

Creating the Image

Press Create new in the middle of webpage.

Make your file a Width of 256 and Height of 256.

Drop and drop your image you chose for an icon.

Select Add current.

Zoom out so you can see the resize guides.

Now move and scale the image to your preferred view.

"SNAPPING IS IN MY WAY!!!"

1. Click the 'Preferences' "settings" gear symbol in the bottom left.

2. Disable "Snap to guides"

Feel free to add text, background or whatever you want to your icon.

When you are satisfied Click 'Save' on the bottom right.

Make sure you have '256 x 256px' image size and Selected PNG for export.

Click 'Save As'

Rename the image and click 'Apply'

There it is. You made a 256x256 icon preview for your skin!

3. Customize your README.md

.md file types stand for Markdown. You can still edit these with standard text editors (like Notepad).

It is recommended you use a previewer; either online or in a text editor. We can use https://markdownlivepreview.com/ for this.

You can also use https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/ for syntax for formatting.

Or look at the README.md published on Thunderstore: here.

Just customize the README.md to your liking.

Transfer from website. Save. Done

4. Configure manifest.json

To edit a .json files. Open them in text editors.

All you need to replace is "SKIN_NAME", and "Description",. Version number if you'd like.

Save. Done.

5. Finalizing the mod zip.

Make sure to zip the files. Not a containing folder!

So it's like this:

Correct pack.

Not like:
