Rebirth & Afterbirth

Rebirth and Afterbirth have no modding API, which prevents us from executing code inside the game. Therefore these game versions use a special version of the mod that works by replacing game assets.

1. Download the version you need:
   • Rebirth (no DLCs): MediaFire
   • Afterbirth (first DLC): ModdingOfIsaac.com - MediaFire mirror
2. Extract the .zip file
3. put the content from the .zip file into the "resources" folder of the game, so that, for example, the "gfx" folder is directly inside the resources folder
