Baldi's Basics Plus Glue API

Baldi's Basics Plus Glue API

A high-level modding framework for Baldi's Basics Plus.

BBPGlue

BBPGlue is a modding framework built on top of BepInEx and Harmony that exposes Baldi's Basics Plus through a clean, strongly-typed API.

Instead of spending time reverse-engineering game internals, writing Harmony patches, and manually accessing private fields through reflection, modders can interact with the game through a unified API:

BBP.Player
BBP.Environment
BBP.Callbacks
BBP.Authoring
BBP.Assets

BBPGlue is designed to be the foundation for gameplay mods, custom items, custom NPCs, game mode modifications, utility tools, and larger projects.

Disclaimer

BBPGlue is a modding framework and not a crack, launcher, bypass, redistribution package, or replacement for Baldi's Basics Plus.

The project does not contain game assets and requires a legitimate copy of Baldi's Basics Plus to function.

All game content remains property of Basically Games and their respective owners.

Why BBPGlue?

Traditional BepInEx modding often requires:

• Reverse engineering game internals
• Writing Harmony patches
• Using reflection
• Maintaining version-specific hacks
• Repeating boilerplate code

With BBPGlue:

BBP.Player.Stamina = 100f;
 
BBP.Environment.MakeNoise(
    BBP.Player.Position,
    127
);
 
BBP.Callbacks.Items.OnItemUse += item =>
{
    BBPConsole.Log(item.NameKey);
};

The framework handles most of the plumbing so you can focus on creating mods.

Runtime Authoring

Create custom content without modifying game assets.

BBP.Authoring.CloneNpc(
    "my_mod:old_principal",
    "Principal",
    npc =>
    {
        npc.MaxSpeed = 10f;
    }
);

Asset Loading

Sprite sprite =
    BBP.Assets.LoadSprite("icon.png");
 
AudioClip clip =
    await BBP.Assets.LoadAudioClipAsync("sound.wav");

Debugging Tools

• Console (SHIFT + F1)
• Debug Menu (SHIFT + F2)

Installation

Requirements

• Baldi's Basics Plus
• BepInEx 5.x
• Harmony

Install BepInEx

Download:

https://github.com/BepInEx/BepInEx/releases

Extract into the Baldi's Basics Plus installation folder.

Install BBPGlue

Copy:

BBPGlue.dll

into:

BepInEx/plugins/

Launch the game.

Press:

SHIFT + F1

If the console appears, BBPGlue is loaded successfully.

Your First Mod

Create a normal BepInEx plugin.

using BepInEx;
using BBPGlue.API;
 
[BepInPlugin(
    "com.example.mymod",
    "My Mod",
    "1.0.0"
)]
[BepInDependency("com.wufhex.BBPGlue")]
public sealed class Plugin : BaseUnityPlugin
{
    private void Awake()
    {
        BBPConsole.Log("Hello BBPGlue!");
    }
}

Listening To Events

Most mods begin by subscribing to callbacks.

private void Awake()
{
    BBP.Callbacks.Items.OnItemUse += item =>
    {
        BBPConsole.Log(
            $"Used: {item.NameKey}"
        );
    };
}

Accessing Game Systems

BBP.Player.Stamina = 100f;
 
BBP.Environment.MakeNoise(
    BBP.Player.Position,
    127
);

BBPRoom? room =
    BBP.Environment.GetPlayerRoom();

BBPDoor? door =
    BBP.Environment.GetClosestDoor();

Runtime Authoring

BBPGlue can clone and register content at runtime.

BBP.Callbacks.Game.OnLevelReady += () =>
{
    BBP.Prefabs.Refresh();
 
    BBP.Authoring.CloneNpc(
        "my_mod:old_principal",
        "Principal",
        npc =>
        {
            npc.Name = "Old Principal";
            npc.MaxSpeed = 10f;
        }
    );
};

Spawn later:

BBP.Authoring.Spawn(
    "my_mod:old_principal",
    BBP.Player.Position
);

Custom Behavior

Callbacks can alter or cancel built-in behavior.

BBP.Callbacks.Items.OnItemUse += item =>
{
    if (item.NameKey != "Monster BSoda")
        return;
 
    BBPCallbacks.Cancel();
 
    BBP.Items.RemoveSlot(
        BBP.Items.SelectedSlot
    );
 
    BBP.Player.RunSpeed *= 4f;
};

Example Project

BBPGlue/src/Tests/CustomPrefabsTest.cs

The example demonstrates:

• Custom NPC creation
• Custom item creation
• Runtime sprite replacement
• Callback-driven behavior
• Cancelable item usage
• Timed effects

Architecture

API

Public modding surface.

Examples:

• BBPPlayer
• BBPNpc
• BBPEnvironment
• BBPEvents

Core

Internal systems.

Examples:

• ReflectionUtil
• ReflectionCache
• Harmony patches
• Runtime helpers

Wrappers

Typed wrappers around BB+ classes.

Examples:

• Door
• Room
• Pickup
• ItemObject
• RandomEvent

Compatibility

BBPGlue attempts to remain compatible with future BB+ updates whenever possible.

If the game version differs from the version BBPGlue was built against, a warning may appear in the console.

This warning is informational and does not necessarily indicate a problem.

Alpha Limitations:

• API may change
• Some callbacks may be incomplete or untested
• Compatibility only tested on BB+ 0.14.2
• Advanced custom NPC behavior is experimental and might be untested

FAQ

(no one asked but someone might)

Does BBPGlue modify game files?

No.

Does BBPGlue redistribute BB+ assets?

No.

Can I create custom NPCs?

Yes, through runtime authoring.

Can I create custom items?

Yes.

Do I Need Harmony or Custom Patches?

Usually, no.

BBPGlue already uses Harmony internally and exposes most common game functionality through wrappers, callbacks, and helper APIs. For many mods, you can create custom content, listen for game events, and modify gameplay behavior without writing a single Harmony patch.

If the functionality you need is not currently exposed by BBPGlue, you have several options:

1. Open an Issue and request the feature.
2. Submit a Pull Request.
3. Use Harmony directly in your mod.
4. Use utilities from BBPGlue.Core to simplify reflection and runtime interaction.

BBPGlue is designed to reduce Harmony and reflection boilerplate, not prevent advanced users from accessing the game's internals when necessary.
