Baldur's Gate 3 Community Library exists to provide a common collection of Spells, Scripts, Items, Statuses, Passives, and other useful material that will assist modders in creating new content.

In addition to the stated purpose of this mod, feel free to use the contents of this mod as examples of how to create certain content for Baldur's Gate 3 if you wish.

You're welcome to submit pieces of your mod that you think would be useful for others to use in their mods as well, be it scripts, spells, statuses, passives, models, textures, sounds, etc.

Some mods will rely on this one, and require it as a dependency. So alone, this mod will appear to do everything. It just needs to be utilized by other mods.
