Content Rules

Last updated 18 October 2026

These rules say what can be published on Celestia. They apply to mods, images, descriptions, comments and profiles. Moderators use them when reviewing, and they’re part of our Terms of Use.

What belongs here

Mods for Vintage Story: code mods, content mods, texture and sound packs, translations, and libraries other mods depend on. Each mod needs a working modinfo.json, a clear description, and at least one category.

Requirements for every mod

  1. It’s yours to share. You made it, or every part you didn’t make is used with permission and credited as its licence requires. Don’t re-upload other people’s mods, even with changes, unless their licence allows it, and say so in the description.
  2. It’s described honestly. The name, summary, screenshots and game versions match what the mod does. Don’t copy another mod’s name or icon or present your mod as an official one.
  3. It does what it says, and nothing hidden. No malware, no hidden behaviour, and nothing that collects data about players without telling them.
  4. Network use is disclosed. If your mod connects to the internet (for example to check for updates), say so clearly in the description, explain what it sends, and let players turn it off.
  5. No code from elsewhere. A mod may not download or run code at runtime that wasn’t in the file that was reviewed.
  6. Readable code. Don’t obfuscate code to hide what it does. Moderators may reject mods they can’t review.
  7. No game files. Don’t include Vintage Story’s own files, or other mods, unless their terms allow it.
  8. Follow the game’s terms. Mods must follow Anego Studios’ terms for Vintage Story and its mods.

Never allowed

  • malware, spyware, credential or token stealers, and cryptocurrency miners
  • tools for cheating or griefing on multiplayer servers without the server owner’s permission
  • sexual content involving minors, in any form (reported to the authorities)
  • sexually explicit images or descriptions
  • content that promotes violence, or attacks people for who they are
  • harassment, threats, or sharing someone’s personal information
  • spam, scams, misleading links, and advertising unrelated to the mod
  • anything else that’s illegal

Donation and support links are welcome in the links section of your mod.

Comments and ratings

Be respectful and stay on topic. Ratings should reflect the mod, not the author. Report bugs on the mod’s issue tracker when it has one. Don’t post personal information, insults or spam.

How we enforce these rules

Depending on how serious a problem is, we may ask you to fix it, reject a version, unlist or remove a mod, hide a comment, or suspend an account. Malware and illegal content are removed at once and the account is closed. We always tell you what we did and why, and you can ask us to review a decision; see the Terms of Use.

Use the Report link on any mod, version, comment or profile to tell us about a problem. For legal complaints, use the legal notice form.
