Installing Board Bibles V1 takes two stages: setting up BepInEx as the mod framework, then dropping the Board Bibles DLL into the correct plugins folder. The entire process takes a few minutes on a PC with Gorilla Tag already installed through Steam.

​
Prerequisites

  • Gorilla Tag (PC/Steam) — the mod targets the PC version of the game. It does not run on the standalone Meta Quest version.
  • Windows — BepInEx for Gorilla Tag is a Windows-only framework.
  • Network access (optional) — the mod fetches verses from bible-api.com at runtime. If you are offline, it falls back to 20 hardcoded verses automatically.
This is a client-side mod. Do not install it on a dedicated server or attempt to use it on the Quest standalone build — it will not function and may cause errors.

​
Step 1: Find your Gorilla Tag installation directory

You need to know where Steam installed Gorilla Tag before placing any files.
1

Open Steam and locate the game

In your Steam library, right-click Gorilla Tag and select Manage → Browse local files. This opens the game’s root directory in File Explorer.
2

Note the path

The path typically looks like:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Gorilla Tag
Keep this window open — you will need it in later steps.

​
Step 2: Install BepInEx

BepInEx is the plugin framework that loads mods into Gorilla Tag. If you already have BepInEx installed (you can tell by the presence of a BepInEx folder inside your Gorilla Tag directory), skip to Step 3.
1

Download BepInEx for Gorilla Tag

Get the BepInEx build recommended for Gorilla Tag from Thunderstore or the BepInEx GitHub releases. Use the x64 variant if prompted.
2

Extract the archive

Extract the downloaded ZIP file. You will see a folder structure that includes a BepInEx folder and a winhttp.dll file (or similar).
3

Copy files into the Gorilla Tag directory

Copy the contents of the extracted archive directly into the root of your Gorilla Tag installation directory — the same folder that contains Gorilla Tag.exe. Do not create a subfolder.After copying, your Gorilla Tag directory should contain:
Gorilla Tag/
├── BepInEx/
│   ├── plugins/
│   ├── config/
│   └── ...
├── Gorilla Tag.exe
└── winhttp.dll
4

Run the game once to initialize BepInEx

Launch Gorilla Tag from Steam. Let it reach the main menu, then close it. This first run generates the BepInEx configuration files and the full plugins directory structure.

​
Step 3: Create the plugins subfolder

Board Bibles V1 is configured to output to a specific subdirectory inside plugins. You need to create this folder if it does not already exist.
1

Navigate to the plugins directory

Inside your Gorilla Tag installation, go to:
Gorilla Tag\BepInEx\plugins\
2

Create the MO subfolder

Create a new folder named MO inside plugins:
Gorilla Tag\BepInEx\plugins\MO\

​
Step 4: Install the Board Bibles V1 DLL

1

Download the Board Bibles V1 DLL

Download the latest BoardBiblesV1.dll from the Board Bibles V1 GitHub releases. The current version is 0.0.2.
2

Place the DLL in the correct directory

Move or copy BoardBiblesV1.dll into the MO folder you created:
Gorilla Tag\BepInEx\plugins\MO\BoardBiblesV1.dll
The DLL must be inside plugins\MO\, not directly inside plugins\. Placing it in the wrong folder will prevent BepInEx from loading it correctly.

​
Step 5: Launch Gorilla Tag

Start Gorilla Tag through Steam. BepInEx will detect and load BoardBiblesV1.dll automatically at startup.
The mod fetches verses from bible-api.com during gameplay. If your firewall or network blocks outbound requests to that domain, the mod will fall back to offline mode and display one of its 20 hardcoded verses instead.

​
Verifying the installation

Once in-game, head to the TreeRoom. Within the first 2 minutes you should see the welcome splash message on both bulletin boards. After that, a Bible verse will appear. If the boards still show the default MOTD or Code of Conduct content, see the troubleshooting reference.
BepInEx writes a log file to Gorilla Tag\BepInEx\LogOutput.log. If the mod does not appear to load, open that file and search for Astras.BoardBiblesV1 to confirm whether BepInEx detected the plugin.
