About This Game
Beat Saber is a unique VR rhythm game where your goal is to slash the beats (represented by small cubes) as they are coming at you. Every beat indicates which saber you need to use and also the direction you need to match. All the music is composed to perfectly fit the hand made levels. Our goal is to make players almost dance while cutting the cubes and avoiding obstacles. Each cut is strongly supported by great sound and visual effects to emphasize the rhythm.

Getting Started with Custom Songs

Welcome to BEASTSABER

Our goal is to make it easy for you to find fantastic Beat Saber maps to play. We categorize the tens of thousands of songs on BeatSaver.com to help you find songs by genre, difficulty, special effects, and more. Leave reviews on maps to spotlight maps you love or flag ones that don’t quite hit the mark.

Our number one feature is the Curator Recommended Feed where our trained team of map reviewers for different play styles and music tastes highlight maps that stand out from the hundreds of new levels released each day. Right behind that is our selection of curated map packs and playlists which collect maps into a themed, downloadable list.

Finding Custom Songs on BeastSaber

There are so many new maps released every day… how do you know which to download? There are a few things to look for before you go wading through search results:

BeastSaber Search Options

Some of the benefits of looking for songs on BeastSaber instead of in-game is a clearer look at curation, ratings, genres, difficulties, and more. There are several built-in search queries OR you can set your own filters!

Dynamic search feeds include:

You can also just use the site search in the top menu to find songs, artists, mappers, tutorials, community profiles, and more!

Playlists and Map Packs

Playlists and map packs are a great way to find themed groupings of fantastic maps. From BeastSaber’s own Songs with Fantastic Flow series, to curated packs for genres, artists, or albums, playlists allow you to easily use ModAssistant OneClick install to nab a bunch of quality songs.

Can’t Find What You Want? Start Mapping!

Sometimes you’re looking for a specific song, artist, or genre and getting no results, or you get results but the maps are outside of your skill level. Take matters into your own hands and learn to map! Most mappers in the community got started for this very reason and there are a wealth of resources available to get you started.

How to Install Beat Saber Custom Songs

Custom Songs for PC VR Users

Did you know that you can access custom songs with the base game? Literally no mods necessary! There are optional mods available via ModAssistant that add features to your song acquisition experience making it easier, faster, or more convenient to shoot the maps you want straight into your bloodstream.

The Beat Saber Modding Group Wiki is the best place to get the latest information, but here’s a quick step-by-step:

Custom Songs with ModAssistant (Easiest!)

Custom Songs with the Base Game (More difficult!)

Oculus User folder paths tend to be:

Custom Songs for Quest VR Users

Getting custom songs on the Quest requires a little more work than with its PC cousins. There are two pieces of software you’ll need: SideQuest and BMBF. Once you have the right software installed, you have a couple of options on how to access songs.

How To Download And Install New Custom Songs & Mods On Beat Saber

If you haven’t played custom songs yet and are just getting started with Beat Saber, we’re excited for you.

You’re about to experience a whole WORLD of new content and the ability to experience “inside” your favorite music like only VR allows! It’s really a magical experience.

The modding experience for computer-based VR (PCVR) and Meta/Oculus Quest standalone VR is a bit different. Be sure to read the right section for your headset!

PC VR: Rift, Index, Vive, WMR, etc.

While mods are no longer required to play basic custom songs, mods can enhance your gameplay experience and unlock some nifty mapping effects. To get started, you’ll just need to download

Installing Mods With Mod Assistant

Standalone VR: Quest 1 and 2

Custom songs are not natively available on Quest headsets so once you’ve had your fill of fantastic Beat Saber OST and Downloadable Content (DLC) you’ll have a few extra steps ahead of you – namely downgrading your game to the most recent supported version.

Getting More Songs

When you launch the game, you’ll now see a “Get More Songs” button in the main menu. This allows you to search for any custom songs, download them, delete them, preview them, etc. If you prefer to install songs outside of VR on your desktop, simply download any song through BEASTSABER with the “One click download” button.

SyncSaber is the newest and easiest way to get songs outside of your game. You now have the option to sync your Bsaber account with the game so that any map that you “Bookmark” from the website will automatically show up in the game. You can also “follow” mappers that you know are good and their songs will magically appear in your game every time they release one.

This is very convenient, because you can add maps for your phone, tablet, work computer, etc. and all the songs will be ready for you to play when you want to play!

Go here to get started!

If you have any issues, join the Beat Saber Mod Discord Group and ask your question in either #pc-help or #quest-help. Be patient – thousands of people around the world just got VR headsets for the holidays and are all looking for the same resources. Happy Block Slicing!

Heyyaa! Anyone having trouble not finding the mods menu in Beat saber after the update? Since the 90 and 360 degree modes i am dying to see what the community has created but I simply cannot find it within this new interface 🙁

Ya this doesn’t work for me. I see a “Mod Settings” icon on the bottom left, but no way to see “Mods” or “Get More Songs”

Really disappointing. I was hoping to play some familiar songs, but looks like this program is not working.

If you still have the problem then try changing the Folder from steamapps\common\Beat Saber\Beat Saber_Data To just steamapps\common\Beat Saber. It worked for me like 2 hours ago, but no one tells you this unfortunally.

How To Download And Install New Custom Songs On Beat Saber – Winter 2021 Update

Beat Saber is one of the most popular VR games around. However, not only is the rhythm game popular for its base game and DLC tracks, but also for its huge custom map community.

There’s a wealth of great community maps available online, and with a little bit of tinkering you can start playing some fantastic custom maps in Beat Saber. Here’s our guide on how to get started.

The following guide is for the PC VR version of Beat Saber only. Modifying the game doesn’t seem to be possible on PSVR and the Oculus Quest has a very different process that changes regularly, depending on which tools are currently available.

This guide is up to date as of February 2021 for version 1.13.2 of Beat Saber. We’ll try to keep this guide up to date as much as possible, but sometimes it can be hard to keep up with all the patches and changes to the modding tools.

If you’re using a newer version of Beat Saber and this article hasn’t been updated, it’s likely that the process remains exactly the same. If not, let us know in the comments and keep an eye out for an update.

Tools and Sites

There are a bunch of different tools and sites you can use for Beat Saber modification. For the purposes of this tutorial, we’ll be using Mod Assistant for installation and first-time setup and the site Beast Saber to find and download custom maps.

Although we won’t cover it here, if you want to read up on an alternative for managing your custom maps, check out BeatDrop 2.

While we prefer using Mod Assistant to keep things simple, it is possible to manually download and install custom maps yourself, without any external tools. To see how, scroll to the bottom of this guide.

Setting Up

Before getting started, we suggest making an account on Beast Saber and downloading the latest release of Mod Assistant from GitHub.

You might also need to know the install location of Beat Saber on your system. If you simply installed the game through Oculus or Steam on your standard C:// drive in the default location, then you shouldn’t need to worry. However, if you have your games installed in a custom location or you have multiple drives with different programs installed across them, you might want to locate your Beat Saber install folder location now (you should be able to use the Oculus app or Steam to find the location). In this instance, the folder you want to select is the one called ‘hyperbolic-magnetism-beat-saber’.

Also, make sure you’ve run/played Beat Saber at least once on your system before proceeding or installing any mods.

First Time Install

If you’ve never installed custom maps on your copy of Beat Saber, you’ll need to install some plugins and mods that enable third-party map support in-game. When Beat Saber updates, your custom maps may or may not be intact/enabled. For example, previous updates (such as going from 1.6 to 1.7 of Beat Saber) did not disable or remove any custom maps. However, patches and updates do have the potential to break mod support, so you’ll have to check on a case-by-case basis with each new update.

In this event, a new version of ModAssistant will be released to work with the new patch. As of the most recent 1.13 patch of Beat Saber, ModAssistant is up-to-date and should work with Beat Saber.

For future updates, there’s a chance you may have to repeat these steps again, perhaps with some changes to accommodate for a new patch.

To set up a first-time install or update your modded Beat Saber after a new patch:

1. Open up ModAssistant.exe and agree to the terms of use.

You don’t need to install Mod Assistant — you can place it anywhere and open it from wherever, whenever you want to use it.

If Mod Assistant can’t find you Beat Saber install folder, it will ask you to locate it. Point it toward the folder you located earlier, if so.

2. Open up the Mods tab.

When you open the mods tab, all of the prerequisite mods for custom maps should be automatically ticked. There are a whole bunch of others you can install, but for the purposes of this tutorial, just click the “Install or Update” button in the bottom right for now. You only need to install the basic, pre-selected mods to play and install custom maps.

NOTE: On the left hand side, you’ll see a drop down menu indicating your Beat Saber version. Sometimes, after an update, the latest release of Mod Assistant might not technically support the latest version of Beat Saber. In this case, Mod Assistant should warn you that your Beat Saber version is newer than what the program supports. It should also ask if you want to proceed anyway. In the past, we’ve successfully been able to proceed anyway and just continue the process with the most recent supported version of Beat Saber selected in Mod Assistant, even if it doesn’t completely match the version we have installed. While we didn’t run into any problems, this might vary on a patch-by-patch basis or might change in the future.

3. Wait for mods to finish installing.

Once mods are finished installing, you’re ready to install some custom maps.

Install Custom Maps

If you didn’t change any of the preset mod installs, then Mod Assistant should have installed a tool that will allow you to search for and install custom maps in-game. You can find this on the left hand side of the Beat Saber main menu next to release notes. There will be a tab reading “Mods”. Clicking on that tab will offer the option “More Songs”.

If you would rather install maps from your desktop and then hop into VR later to play them, go back to Mod Assistant and go the options tab. Under “Enable One Click Installs,” tick Beast Saber (You should only need to do this once, just to turn the feature on). Then, while browsing maps on Beast Saber, you can simply click the cloud-install button (pictured below) to install a map (you may need to be logged into Beast Saber, you can register a free account).

The cloud download button, third from the right, will install the maps from Beast Saber via Mod Assistant.

When you go to one-click install a map from Beast Saber, your browser might ask if you want to allow the site to open Mod Assistant — click yes. This will bring up a Mod Assistant window showing the install progress — it will say ‘Done’ when the install is complete.

After downloading and installing maps, either in-game or on your desktop, they should appear in-game under a custom songs tab. Go get slicing!

Installing Without Mods

Mod Assistant is an easy one-click solution when used with Beast Saber. However, if you’d rather avoid modding tools all together, you can manually install custom songs yourself without modifying Beat Saber at all.

Simply download your custom song from Beast Saber (or elsewhere), which should come as a ZIP file. Unzip it and copy the resulting folder. Navigate to your Beat Saber install location, and then go to Beat Saber_Data\CustomLevels. Paste the unzipped custom song folder into your Custom Levels folder and you’re good to go.

That should be everything you need to start installing custom maps on Beat Saber for PC VR. If you have any questions or problems, comment below and we’ll try our best to help you out.

Как скачивать кастомные песни в Beat Saber. Mod assistant

Beat Saber — одна из самых популярных VR игр. Однако эта ритм-игра популярна не только из-за качественных встроенных песен и треков DLC, но и из-за огромного сообщества пользовательских карт.

В Интернете их доступно множество, и, приложив немного усилий, вы сможете поиграть на превосходных пользовательских картах в Beat Saber. Почитайте руководство о том, как это сделать.

Внимание: это руководство предназначено только для версии Beat Saber для ПК VR. Похоже, что модификация игры пока невозможна на PSVR и Oculus Quest.

Это материал актуален для версии 1.13.2 Beat Saber. Мы постараемся поддерживать его в рабочем состоянии, насколько это возможно, но иногда бывает сложно не отставать от всех исправлений и изменений в инструментах моддинга.

Если вы используете более новую версию Beat Saber а эта статья не обновлялась, то скорее всего, процесс останется прежним. Если у вас не работает эта инструкция — дайте нам знать в комментариях и следите за обновлениями.

Инструменты и ссылки

Существует множество различных инструментов и сайтов, которые можно использовать для модификации Beat Saber. В рамках этого руководства мы будем использовать Mod Assistant для установки и первоначальной настройки, а также сайт Beast Saber для поиска и загрузки пользовательских карт.

Мы предпочитаем использовать Mod Assistant для простоты, но можно и вручную загрузить и установить пользовательские карты самостоятельно, без каких-либо сторонних инструментов. Чтобы узнать, как это сделать, дочитайте это руководство до конца.

Настройка

Прежде чем начать, вам потребуется создать учетную запись на Beast Saber и загрузить последнюю версию Mod Assistant с GitHub.

Кроме этого, вам нужно знать место расположения Beat Saber в системе. Если вы установили игру через Oculus или Steam на стандартный диск C:// в папку по умолчанию, то беспокоиться не о чем. Однако, если вы устанавливаете игры и программы в определенные места, то вам нужно уточнить местоположение папки установки Beat Saber. В данном случае папка, которую вы хотите выбрать, называется «hyperbolic-magnetism-beat-saber».

Также убедитесь, что вы запускали / играли в Beat Saber хотя бы один раз, прежде чем устанавливать любые моды.

Подготовка к установке

Если вы никогда не устанавливали пользовательские карты в Beat Saber, то сначала потребуется установить несколько плагинов и модов, которые обеспечивают поддержку сторонних карт в игре. При обновлении Beat Saber пользовательские карты могут не включаться или не поддерживаться.

Однако в целом исправления и обновления могут нарушить поддержку модов, поэтому вам придется все проверять в каждом конкретном случае с каждым новым обновлением. Если это произойдет, то будет выпущена новая версия Mod Assistant для работы с новым патчем.

В будущих обновлениях вам, возможно, придется повторить эту процедуру еще раз, чтобы адаптировать к изменениям в новых патчах игры.

Итак, чтобы выполнить первоначальную установку или обновить мод Beat Saber после выхода нового патча:

1. Запустите Mod Assistant.exe и согласитесь с условиями использования.

2. Откройте вкладку Mods.

3. Дождитесь завершения установки модов.

Установка пользовательских карт

Если вы не убирали галочки с отмеченных модов, то в Mod Assistant должен был быть установлен инструмент, который позволит вам искать и устанавливать собственные карты. Вы сможете найти его в левой части главного меню Beat Saber рядом с примечаниями к выпуску. Там будет вкладка с надписью «Моды». При нажатии на эту вкладку будет предложена опция «Другие песни».

Если вы предпочитаете устанавливать карты прямо с ПК, то в Mod Assistant перейдите на вкладку параметров. В разделе «Разрешить установку в один клик» отметьте Beast Saber (нужно сделать это только один раз, чтобы включить эту функцию). Затем, просматривая карты на Beast Saber, вы можете просто нажать кнопку облачной установки (на фото ниже), чтобы установить карту (может потребоваться войти в Beast Saber, нужно зарегистрировать бесплатную учетную запись).

Во время установки карты из Beast Saber в один клик, браузер может спросить, хотите ли вы разрешить сайту открывать Mod Assistant — нажмите «Да». Появится окно Mod Assistant, показывающее ход установки — по завершении установки будет написано «Готово».

После загрузки и установки карт в игре или с ПК они должны появиться в игре на вкладке пользовательских песен.

Установка без использования модов

Mod Assistant — это простое решение, позволяющее устанавливать песни в один клик с Beast Saber. Однако, если вы предпочитаете избегать любых инструментов для модификации, то можете установить собственные песни самостоятельно, вообще никак не изменяя Beat Saber.

Просто загрузите свою собственную песню с Beast Saber (или любого другого места), которая должна быть в виде ZIP-файла. Разархивируйте его и скопируйте полученную папку в буфер обмена. Перейдите к месту установки Beat Saber, а затем перейдите в Beat Saber_Data \ CustomLevels. Вставьте распакованную папку с собственной песней в папку Custom Levels, и все готово.

Это все, что вам нужно знать, чтобы устанавливать пользовательские карты в Beat Saber для ПК VR. Если у вас есть какие-либо вопросы или проблемы, оставьте комментарий ниже, и мы постараемся вам помочь.
