Aurora Launcher

Aurora is a light-weight high performance mod launcher built for Neverness to Everness that allows you to freely edit models inside the game using UE5 (Unreal Engine 5) PAKs.

Aurora is an open-source community project, any help with the source code is greatly appreciated. We are open to anyone who wants to help develop this project further, whether it be translations or contribution to the source-code.

Note

Due to our application not having a signed certificate, Windows Defender (or other Antivirus software) may false-flag Aurora, we do not support Microsoft's Smart App Control system. You are most likely to get blocked by Smart App Control while running Aurora for the first time.

Features

• Easy Installation — Download a release and open the executable file, that's it.
• Plug & Play — Aurora only requires your Neverness To Everness download location, afterwards its as easy as clicking a button!
• Mod Management — Mods can be disabled or enabled in the UI, allowing for easy configuration.
• Live Monitoring — Monitors Neverness To Everness to alert you if a change requires a game restart.
• Overlays — Aurora supports overlaying UI elements on top of Neverness To Everness, which can be used to show your in-game FPS, session information, etc (Still being implemented!)

Note

We are open for your suggestions (as long as they make sense!) to create more features and make the experience of Aurora better and more smooth for everyone!

Installation

Warning

Notice for Linux Users

Unfortunately, Aurora is built to only be ran on Windows Operating Systems. Although trying to run Aurora in Linux with Wine/Proton can be possible; the engine DLL & ASI files that Aurora uses and the reliance on native Win32 system API calls might cause issues. Aurora will most likely not perform correctly when running under Wine, Proton or SteamOS.

Because of this, if you encounter issues while trying to run Aurora on Linux; we can't help you at the moment until a proper Linux build is created.

Notice June 7, 2026: We shortly be working on Linux support. You can still try to get it working on your Linux device until then or wait for an official update with Linux support.

Tip

It is recommened to download the following Prerequisite software to minimise errors. Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable.

Aurora Installer (Windows only)

1. Download the latest release of AuroraInstaller.exe.
2. Run the file.

Note

Although not required, it is recommended to run the Installer file as Administrator to reduce chances of failure.

Mod Implementation to Aurora

Note

Aurora is not a tool used to create mods, it is a tool to use mods. We are not experienced with modding, please ask experts in modding and not us if you are stuck. Aurora's Mod Manager supports a mod.json file inside your mod folder to display custom assets in the mod manager. If you are a modder and would like to include it on your project, here is how to do it.

1. Create a new file named mod.json, in the same location as your .pak, .utoc and .ucas files.
2. Replace the contents with:

{
    "Name": "Example Mod Name",
    "Version": "1.0.0",
    "Author": "Example Author Name",
    "Icon": "CharacterName (e.g: Mint)",
    "Optionals": {
        "Support Link": "https://patreon.com/example"
    }
}

1. Edit the contents with whatever you want, Aurora handles the rest.

• You can replace your support link with whatever link you want, it doesn't have to be patreon.
