Hollow Knight: Silksong Better Map Mod v1.0.1

                    
No more stumbling through the dark or missing a region’s map just because you’re short on geo. The Better Map mod completely reworks Silksong’s cartography, letting explorers and completionists unlock maps as they play, see real-time progress, and actually control what their game’s map system reveals.
This is the upgrade for mappers, trainers, and anyone who wants less tedium in their journey. Whether you’re after every secret or streamlining for speed, you’ll love how it makes the whole world feel accessible—never spoiled.
Highlights and Features

Automatic area map unlocks as you enter each new zone, eliminating guesswork and “paywall” delays for core navigation.
Scene maps update themselves in real-time when you enter—so you can track progress instantly and always know where you’ve been.
Unvisited rooms remain shrouded. Enjoy blind exploration and only reveal what you’ve seen—no cheat sheet, just natural mapping.
Full map feature unlocks with the Quill: once you have it, the map shows player position, death locations, pins, and even supports custom markers for pathfinding or secrets. (These are toggled off by default, so you can keep things minimalist if you prefer.)
Every feature is adjustable in a config file or through the configuration manager—customize the experience for every playstyle from purist to completionist to trainer or streamer.

Impact On Your Game and Use Cases
Better Map isn’t just quality of life. It’s a whole new way to experience the world. It brings structure, lets you see real progress, and balances between “helpful” and “spoiled.” Whether you run blind, cleanup, or guide production, the result is more time invested in exploring, less time menu-wrangling.

Completionists get to scout every nook with confidence while still earning their reveals. Map-burners can blast through speedruns knowing nothing gets left behind.
Streamers, testers, and trainers can run clean sessions with customizable data, showing only what audiences (or trainees) need.
No more panic about missing a map merchant. You’ll always see your path as you go; new config options let you fine-tune your experience run-to-run.
Perfect for casuals and purists alike—just toggle off any “feature creep” you don’t want.

Installation & Prerequisites

Install BepInEx 5.4.23.3 in your Silksong folder. Double-check for winhttp.dll in the game’s root directory and BepInEx.dll in BepInEx/core.
Place BetterMap.dll in your BepInEx/plugins directory.
Launch Silksong and play. A configuration file called “silksong.mod.BetterMap.cfg” will appear in BepInEx/config after your first session.
Edit this config file, or use Configuration Manager, to toggle features on or off as you wish—tailor the mod perfectly to your exploration style.
