Balatro Multiplayer PvP
Head-to-head Balatro. There are many ways to play but generally 2-16 people in a lobby face off on the same seed, battling another player(s) each boss blind until everyone runs out of lives but one.
This is the PvP mod of the Balatro Multiplayer Platform. It runs on top of MultiplayerAPI, which owns the connection, accounts, lobbies, matchmaking, and leaderboards. Sibling mods on the same API include Speedrunning. The server lives in BalatroMultiplayerServer.
Looking for the original Balatro Multiplayer mod (v0.5.x, mod id
Multiplayer)? It lives on thelegacybranch. That code is frozen`.
Installation
Launchers
Launchers are the easiest ways to get modded Balatro running quickly. We have two main launchers we support:
R2 Mod Man
We recommend downloading the mod with r2mm if you intend to play it casually. You can download r2mm here: https://r2modman.com/
BET
Otherwise you can use own custom closed source launcher called BET, which is intended to be a successor of BMM. You can download BET here: https://new.balatromp.com/download
