SyncCrate
Noita guide · Updated
Your Noita mods on another PC.
Community co-op mods and big content mods only work when both PCs have the same files. SyncCrate copies Noita's mods folder from one PC to another, and after the first time only what changed.

// 01 Why
Why sharing Noita mods is fiddly
Noita loads mods from the mods folder in the game folder and from the Steam Workshop, and each one is turned on in the game's Mods menu. Many popular mods, including community co-op mods and big content packs, are downloaded from GitHub or Discord rather than the Workshop, so they have to be copied into mods by hand.
Co-op mods are the strict ones: both players usually need exactly the same version, and a mismatch means a session that won't connect or drifts out of sync.
SyncCrate syncs the mods folder directly between PCs. It compares every file by content, copies only what's different, and shows you the list before anything changes.
// 02 What syncs
What SyncCrate syncs for Noita

// 03 How it works
Sync Noita in three steps
Install and add the game
Install SyncCrate on every PC and add Noita in the Game Browser. Its folder is found automatically.
One PC hosts
The PC with the setup everyone should have clicks Start Hosting. The others pick it under Scan for Hosts on the same network, or paste its join code from anywhere.
Compare and sync
Check the list of new, changed and conflicting files, then Sync Now. Only the files that differ are copied, PC to PC.
TipClose Noita on the receiving PC before syncing. After syncing, turn the mods on in the game's Mods menu; which mods are enabled is saved outside the mods folder.
// 04 Common problems
When Noita mods don't match
Co-op mod versions don't match
Community multiplayer mods usually expect both players on the same version, and a difference breaks the session.
One player hosts in SyncCrate, the other syncs, and both run the same files.
Mods from outside the Workshop
Mods from GitHub or Discord don't download by themselves on another PC.
Everything in the host's
modsfolder syncs to the other PC.Unsafe mods
Some mods ask for unsafe access to do more than the normal mod API allows, and they only run when you allow unsafe mods in the Mods menu.
.luafiles are flagged before they sync, and nothing changes until you approve the list. Only sync with people you trust, and only allow unsafe mods you know.A mod update breaks your runs
A newer version of a mod doesn't always behave the way you're used to.
Files a sync replaced stay in File history, and Undo last sync puts the whole sync back.

Good to know
- Steam Workshop mods aren't synced. Steam keeps them outside the game folder, so subscribe to the same Workshop items on the other PC.
- Runs and progress aren't synced. Noita keeps them in your user folder, outside the game folder.
- Same game version. Some mods only work with the main game or with the beta branch, so run the same branch on both PCs.
// FAQ
Noita questions
Where do Noita mods go?
In the mods folder inside the game's install folder, one folder per mod. SyncCrate finds Steam installs in every library and creates the folder if needed.
Does it sync Workshop mods?
No. Steam keeps Workshop mods in its own folder. SyncCrate syncs the mods in the game's mods folder.
Does it turn the mods on for me?
No. Noita saves which mods are enabled with your progress, outside the mods folder. Turn them on in the game's Mods menu after syncing.
Can I share mods with a friend over the internet?
Yes. Share the join code from the host's Dashboard and your friend pastes it. The connection goes PC to PC, with nothing uploaded to a cloud.
