Q&A

How do I know if BetterPolus is correctly installed?
Just check that there is a line saying that BetterPolus has been loaded in the top left of the main menu.

Does this works with (Better-)CrewLink (Proximity Chat)?
Of course!

Do I risk anything if I play on official Servers?
There is currently no permaban system for the game so it's safe to play on official servers. However, I still recommend you to host your own custom server to be safe. For more information, you can check this repository :

• Impostor/Impostor: A custom server that allows you to create your own plugins.

Can you use BetterPolus with Woodi's Sheriff Mod?
As of version 1.1.4, you you can use Woodi's Sheriff Mod!
Reactor doesn't support Woodi's Sheriff Mod. However, you can use Reactor-Sheriff which is an adapted version of Woodi's Sheriff Mod that can run with and BetterPolus.

How can I get started at Among Us Modding?
Try to look how other plugins/mods are developed. It's really helpful to have a base to start with! Otherwise, you can try to use Reactor if you want. Look at the Reactor documentation to get started, and join Reactor's Discord to get more help from the community.
