GreaterAmongUs

⚠ Steam version of Among Us ONLY

This build is compiled against the Steam version of Among Us. It will not work on Epic Games, Microsoft Store, itch.io, or any other distribution because the per-platform game libraries (GameAssembly.dll and the IL2CPP interop assemblies) differ.

If you're not on Steam, do not download — the DLL will fail to load and the mod will do nothing. A separate Epic / MS Store build would require rebuilding against those platforms' game libraries; this fork does not ship one.

A client-sided anti-cheat / quality-of-life mod for Among Us, currently targeting AU 2026.6.5 on Steam (also compatible back to 2025.11.18).

This project is a fork of BetterAmongUs by D1GQ, distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 in accordance with the upstream license. See LICENSE for the full text.

What's different from upstream BetterAmongUs

• AU 2026.6.5 compatibility — version array, build references, and Harmony bindings updated for current Among Us.
• Vanilla-server safety — the BAU custom-RPC handshake and per-target role-desync are gated off on official Innersloth servers. Both patterns trigger Innersloth's 2026.x anti-abuse system and result in the host getting banned from their own lobby; this fork avoids that.
• No auto-kick / no auto-ban — AmongUsClient.KickPlayer calls are commented out in the BAU Kick helper. Cheaters are still detected and logged; the host can manually kick via AU's native BanMenu.
• Lobby warning popup — when a player whose data is already in the local cheat list rejoins, a sticky popup shows their name, friend code, hashed PUID, and the prior detection reason. Dismiss with CTRL+Y.
• Live-detection stack — every fresh cheat detection pushes a new sticky popup onto a stack; previous popups are preserved underneath and revealed on dismiss. Dismiss with CTRL+P.
• No bubble background on cheat popups — the chat-bubble sprite is stripped from the alert clone so gameplay stays visible behind the text.
• Additional cheat-client signatures — adds detection for GoatNet Client (RPC 154), ModMenuCrew (RPC 201 and 205), plus a HostGuard presence notice (RPC 176, info-only).
• Improved sabotage detection logging — every cancelled sabotage RPC fires a popup naming the player and the specific anomaly (direct sabotage byte, remote fix, hold-while-not-sabotaged, etc.).
• No audio alarm / no in-chat alerts — removed in favor of the more visible always-on top-center popup.
• Level-spoof threshold removed — the old DetectedLevelAbove check false-flagged legit XP-glitch players. Only the reliable "client sent SetLevel twice in one session" check remains.

Installation

Option 1 — plugin only (if you already run BepInEx 6 IL2CPP)

1. Install BepInEx 6 IL2CPP for Among Us
2. Launch AU once with BepInEx to generate interop assemblies
3. Download GreaterAmongUs-v1.4.1.dll from the latest release and drop it into Among Us\BepInEx\plugins\
4. Launch Among Us — version banner should read GreaterAmongUs v1.4.1 … in the main menu

Option 2 — easy drag-and-drop bundle (no separate BepInEx install)

⚠️ The first launch opens vanilla — this is normal

The very first time you start the game after installing, it loads as plain Among Us with no mod. Just close it and open it again — GreaterAmongUs will load. You only ever do this once (it's BepInEx setting itself up).

Best for most players — this all-in-one zip already includes BepInEx, so you don't have to set anything up.

1. Close Among Us if it's running.
2. Download GreaterAmongUs-v1.4.1-Steam.AmongUs-Folder.zip from the latest release.
3. Open your Among Us folder — in Steam: right-click Among Us → Manage → Browse local files (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Among Us).
4. Extract everything from the zip into that folder. When Windows asks, choose Replace the files in the destination / Merge folders — you're only adding files, not deleting any.
5. Launch Among Us. The first launch opens vanilla — close it and reopen once (see the note above). After that, the main menu reads GreaterAmongUs v1.4.1 on every launch (a black console window may appear — that's normal, leave it open).

The bundle only adds the BepInEx and dotnet folders plus winhttp.dll / doorstop_config.ini / .doorstop_version; nothing else in your game folder is touched. To uninstall, delete those and the game is fully vanilla again. Steam version only.

GreaterAmongUs and BetterAmongUs use different PLUGIN_GUIDs so they can coexist, but you probably want only one loaded at a time to avoid duplicate detections.

Building from source

Project targets .NET 6.0. The csproj references interop assemblies directly from your local BepInEx folder. Update the <InteropDir> property in BetterAmongUs.csproj (or override on the command line with -p:InteropDir=...) to point at your install's BepInEx\interop\ directory.

dotnet build -c Release

Output: bin\Release\net6.0\BetterAmongUs.dll — rename to GreaterAmongUs.dll when deploying if you want the filename to match the displayed mod name.
