UE Modding Tools
A databank of every modding tool that has potential to be used across multiple UE games. Many tools were submitted by the lovely members of the Unreal Engine Modding Discord - please join if you want discuss use of these tools or just general UE modding!
If you are an UE game developer, and want to know how some of these tools are used to mod your games, please see the developer guide.
Any category is not ordered by any means, and any tool that is not listed here, but should be, please submit a PR.
Some of these tools may be unmaintained and/or outdated, but are still useful for people writing their own tools and may want to see how others implemented their tools.
The tag [CU] before a tool means that it is Commonly Used by multiple UE modding communities, so is highly recommended for personal use.
The tag [PW] before a tool means that it is Paywalled.

Game Specific Modding Documentation Websites
Many popular modding communities for various games have their own websites for documenting and centralising modding information. In many cases, information can be shared between other games, due to maybe using the same tools, engine version or the game uses similar systems. Usually, games will keep their modding resources exclusively within their own Discord communities, however this lacks the benefit of having their docs indexed and searchable by search engines.
- Moolah Modding (Payday 3)
- Palworld
- Hogwarts Legacy
- Contains many useful mod examples using the UE4SS Lua API
- Satisfactory
- The Satisfactory Modding Documentation is much more useful than official UE documentation in some places, like in the C++ and Blueprint section
- Spyro Reignited
