This page is for modders. Players: see Modding:Mod compatibility instead.

This page explains how to update your mods for compatibility with Harmony 2.0.0. This only applies to mods which use Harmony directly; this is discouraged in most cases, isn't officially part of SMAPI's public API, and isn't subject to SMAPI's normal versioning policy.

Before you start

Make sure you follow best practices outlined in the Harmony guide. In particular, use the EnableHarmony option (don't reference the Harmony DLL directly) and use the code API.

Basic changes

  1. Change using Harmony; to using HarmonyLib;.
  2. Change HarmonyInstance harmony = HarmonyInstance.Create("your mod id"); to Harmony harmony = new Harmony("your mod id");.
  3. Recompile the mod.

That's it! Otherwise usage is otherwise identical. Harmony 2.0.0 adds a number of new features; see the official documentation for more info.
