Summary

Everest is a free, open-source mod loader and modding API for Celeste. It enables custom map packs, texture replacements, and code mods that can add sound effects, graphics, dialogue, maps, and campaigns without altering original files. An in-game updater and dependency downloader help manage mods. Olympus is a cross-platform installer that can update itself and inject Everest code into Celeste.exe; it also offers one-click mod installs, with ZIP and folder installation as alternatives. Players can switch between Everest and vanilla Celeste from the title screen or Olympus. Enhanced Debug Mode includes live map reloading, shortcuts for reloading code and assets, an improved map viewer, and console logging. Everest runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux and works with Celeste from itch.io, Steam, and Epic Games, but not the Windows Store version. The project is MIT-licensed and maintained by volunteers. The project warns that Olympus is under active development and may fail; it directs users to the Celeste Discord’s #modding_help channel for reports and questions.

Who it is for

Everest suits Celeste players who want to use community mods and mod creators building maps, assets, or code-driven content. Its listed game-store support excludes the Windows Store version of Celeste.

What is good

  • Supports custom maps, texture replacements, and code mods.
  • Includes an in-game updater and dependency downloader.
  • Allows switching between modded and vanilla Celeste.
  • Runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
  • Olympus offers one-click mod installation.

What to know first

  • Does not work with the Windows Store version of Celeste.
  • Olympus may fail while under active development.

Verdict

Everest provides mod loading, installation, and debugging tools for Celeste across three desktop platforms. Confirm the game-store version is supported, and keep in mind the Olympus installer may fail.
