For mod developers, it may be beneficial to enable DevTools within the Steam or Epic client. This can be achieved by following the process detailed below. This is a one off operation and does not need to be repeated, that is unless the Steam or Epic client is uninstalled or reinstalled, or when the game client updates.

Enabling DevTools for Steam & Epic

  1. Download Melvor Idle on Steam or Epic, and find the installation folder. e.g. [...]/steamapps/common/Melvor Idle
    Not sure where it's installed? It is possible to locate the installation folder through the Steam & Epic clients:
    • Steam: Locate Melvor Idle within your library, right click, then click Properties - a window should appear. Within this window, click Installed FilesBrowse..
    • Epic: Locate Melvor Idle within your library, right click, then click Manage - a window should appear. Within this window, click on the folder icon within the Installation section
  2. Open the package.nw folder then package.json. Inside package.json, find "chromium-args": and then remove --devtools-flags=disable and save the changes.
