All of the following must be done on your dedicated server, not on a client machine.
Step 1 — Install BepInEx
Download BepInExPack_V_Rising from the link above.
Extract the contents so your server folder looks like this:
VRisingDedicatedServer/
├── BepInEx/
│ ├── core/
│ ├── plugins/
│ └── ...
├── VRisingServer.exe
└── ...
Step 2 — Install VampireCommandFramework
Download VampireCommandFramework from the link above.
Drop VampireCommandFramework.dll into:
VRisingDedicatedServer/BepInEx/plugins/
Step 3 — Install NightBloom
Drop NightBloom.dll into:
VRisingDedicatedServer/BepInEx/plugins/
Step 4 — Start the server
Start the server once. NightBloom will generate its configuration file at:

You can now edit that file to customize the mod (see Configuration File).
To apply config changes without restarting the server, use the .nb reload command in-game (admin only).
Name any storage chest in your castle so that its name contains fertilizer or fert (not case-sensitive).
Examples: Fertilizer, Fert, My Fertilizer Chest
Inside this chest, place:
| Item | Role |
|---|---|
| A weapon | Determines the harvest radius. Higher tier = larger area. |
| Bone and/or Grave Dust | Fertilizer credits used to power the mod. |
Only one Fertilizer chest is allowed per castle territory. If you place two in the same territory, the mod will disable itself for that territory and log a warning until you remove the duplicate.
Name any storage chest in your castle so that its name contains harvest (not case-sensitive).
Examples: Harvest, Harvest Chest 1
Harvested plants are automatically deposited here. You can have as many Harvest chests as you want — they are filled starting with the one nearest to the harvested plant.
Harvest chests must be within
ChestLinkRadiusmeters of the Fertilizer chest (default: 45 m).
The weapon you place in the Fertilizer chest determines the harvest radius. The mod always uses the highest-tier weapon it finds. If two weapons share the same tier, the one with more remaining durability is chosen.
| Tier | Weapon | Default Radius |
|---|---|---|
| T01 | Bone | 5 m |
| T02 | Reinforced Bone | 7 m |
| T03 | Copper | 10 m |
| T04 | Merciless Copper | 13 m |
| T05 | Iron | 17 m |
| T06 | Merciless Iron | 21 m |
| T07 | Rare Ancestral | 25 m |
| T08 | Dark Silver | 29 m |
| T09 | Sanguine | 33 m |
| T10 | Epic Ancestral | 37 m |
| T11 | Shadow Matter | 42 m |
If no weapon is in the Fertilizer chest, the mod still accelerates plant growth within the
NoWeaponRadius(default: 5 m), but does not harvest.
Every 5 seconds, for each valid Fertilizer chest the mod:
ConsumeIntervalSeconds and ConsumeAmountPerInterval).DurabilityLoss).If the weapon's durability reaches 0, it is no longer used. Replace or repair it to resume harvesting.
