Hollow Knight Modding Api

Hollow Knight (patch 1.5.x.x onwards) is a game built with Unity 2020.2.2 and C# (.NET Framework 4.7.2), this means that a mod in the context of hollow knight is a dll or a Dynamic-Link Library that allows players to modify the behavior of the game, fix issues or add new features. This is achieved with the help of a Modding Api that handles the loading of mods and giving us ways of injecting our own code in the middle of normal logic.

It goes without saying that the Unity Scripting Reference and Microsoft .NET API browser are absolutely invaluable references when working within unity. In the context of hollow knight modding though, there are a few more concepts and resources that you want to be looking at.

Currently, Hollow Knight modders are editing the binary game file Assembly-CSharp.dll directly with dnSpy, and publishing the modified binary to Google Drive at a secret link that's shared in the #modding channel of the Hollow Knight discord server.
