Welcome to the mod.io Unreal Engine ModioUGC repository. The ModioUGC is an Unreal Engine plugin designed to make it easy to add dynamic management of user-generated content in the form of PAK files to your game.
This plugin requires the core mod.io plugin to be installed alongside it. Support for both plugins is generally maintained to support the 3 most recent versions of Unreal Engine.
The ModioUGC plugin supports Windows, Linux, LinuxArm64, Mac, iOS and Android as part of the public release.
