==Diablo Series Modding==

There is a long history of modding the games in the Diablo series, with Diablo 1, [[Hellfire]], Diablo 2, and Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction all having been the subject of numerous high-quality player-made mods.

==Playing Mods Online==

No mods for Diablo or Diablo 2 are playable over Battle.net. While some mods are single player only, most are fully functional with multiplayer, and all active mods have forums where users can meet up to arrange TCP/IP or LAN play sessions.

===The Hell===

The Hell is another Diablo/Hellfire mod that adds greatly to the original gameplay experience. It's much more difficult than standard Hellfire, reworks the items and monsters entirely, and greatly changes the character balance. The mod remains under active development.

==Diablo II Mods==

There have been dozens of Diablo 2 mods over the years, most of which are no longer active and will not work with the current game version. The older ones can still be played, but you must generally reinstall Diablo 2 and only patch up to the point that the mod supports.

===Median===

[[Median XL]] is the best known and most popular Diablo 2 mod. It's still under development and is regularly updated by [[Brother Laz]] with new content. Median virtually remakes Diablo 2, changing every character and skill, and making countless changes to the quests, monsters, items, and more. See the Median page in this wiki for more details.

===Plug Y===

The Plug Y mod is largely a utility to enable single player an infinite stash. It also enables the Realm-only end game quests, enabling single player characters to fight [[Uber Diablo]] and complete the events of the [[Pandemonium Event]].
