This quickstart walks you through confirming your setup is correct and explains exactly what happens the first time you load into Gorilla Tag with Board Bibles V1 installed. If you have not installed the mod yet, start with the installation guide.

​
Before you begin

Make sure the following are true before launching the game:
  • BepInEx is installed in your Gorilla Tag directory (a BepInEx folder exists next to Gorilla Tag.exe)
  • BoardBiblesV1.dll is located at Gorilla Tag\BepInEx\plugins\MO\BoardBiblesV1.dll
  • You launched the game at least once after installing BepInEx so its configuration files were generated
If you are unsure about any of these steps, the installation guide covers each one in detail.

​
Launch and verify

1

Start Gorilla Tag through Steam

Launch the game normally from your Steam library. Do not launch Gorilla Tag.exe directly — always use Steam so BepInEx loads correctly.
2

Check the BepInEx console (optional)

If you enabled the BepInEx console window in its config, you should see a line similar to the following during startup:
[Info   :   BepInEx] Loading [BibileV1 0.0.2]
This confirms BepInEx found and loaded the mod. If you do not see this line, verify the DLL is in the correct folder and check BepInEx\LogOutput.log.
3

Load into a room and go to the TreeRoom

Join any room in Gorilla Tag and make your way to the TreeRoom. Both bulletin boards — the MOTD board and the Code of Conduct board — are on the walls near the tree.

​
What to expect

​
The first 2 minutes: welcome splash

When you first load in, both boards display a startup message: 
WELCOME TO BOARD BIBLE MADE BY ASTRA
 LOADING GET READY...
This is intentional. The mod waits 2 minutes before making its first API call, giving the game time to fully settle after loading.

​
After 2 minutes: first verse

Once the startup window has passed, the mod contacts bible-api.com and fetches a random verse from one of 8 books of the Bible. The verse and its reference appear on both boards simultaneously.
Both the MOTD board and the Code of Conduct board always show the same verse at the same time. This is by design — the mod keeps both boards in sync.

​
Every 5 minutes: automatic rotation

The mod refreshes the verse every 5 minutes without any action from you. Each new verse is fetched live from the API, so the content changes throughout your session.

​
Offline mode

If your network is unavailable or bible-api.com does not respond, the mod falls back to a set of 20 hardcoded verses. You can tell offline mode is active because the verse text will end with: 
(offline mode)
Offline fallback activates automatically — no configuration is needed.
Offline mode only activates when the API call fails. If you have a working internet connection but bible-api.com is temporarily unreachable, the mod will still display a verse from the offline pool rather than leaving the boards blank.

​
Troubleshooting at a glance

The mod did not load. Check that BoardBiblesV1.dll is inside Gorilla Tag\BepInEx\plugins\MO\ and not in a different folder. Then check BepInEx\LogOutput.log for errors.
