Sample Mods
By Ipsquiggle
These are official sample mods developed by Klei. They are very small and barebones, in order to get you started with modding. These are meant to serve as a starting point only and are not complete mods on their own!
Sample Prefab
This mod demonstrates adding a new object to the world which can also be put in the player's inventory. For testing purposes, one is added to the player's pockets every time the game starts.
Sample Character
Use this as a starting place for your own characters! Contains template artwork for character animations, saveslot portraits, and more! Note: This will require TEX tools in order to create .tex files from the provided .png images.
Also note that the template for the bigportrait is in it's own zip file for download size reasons, but both samplecharacter.zip and samplecharacter_bigportrait.zip together make the Sample Character mod and templates.
Sample Mod
A demonstration of very basic mod setup, including attaching a custom components and setting tuning variables.

Handsome Matt's Tools!
These are some super simple tools I made for Don't Starve years ago, recently updated and re-uploaded myself seeing how popular they were. I still believe you should use the official tools for texture creation, but for simply viewing and exploring assets this tool should work great for you.
Source code and latest releases are always available on GitHub.

Map Revealer 1.0.3 and [DST] Map Revealer 1.0
It's a very simple mod revealing the entire map in the game, regardless of the level at which we find ourselves. Despite the simplicity makes it easy modding or just makes the game lot easier.
Have a nice use.

ktools: Cross-platform modding tools for Don't Starve
IMPORTANT: Starting with version 4.3.0, the Windows binary release requires Microsoft's Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Package (previously, the 2010 one was required). See the bottom of this description for more information.
ktools is a set of cross-platform (Linux, Mac and Windows) modding tools for Don't Starve. It consists of the following command-line tools:
ktech: a bidirectional converter between TEX texture and PNG; krane: a anim.bin/build.bin decompiler, whose output is a Spriter project. More detailed information about these tools may be found in the README, in the project's GitHub repository.
ktools primary release format is as source code, compilable under every platform using CMake, as per the instructions in the README. A Windows binary release is also included (the ZIP ending with "-win32").
When compiling from source, if libzip is found then the ktools are compiled with zip support, so that zip archives may be given as input in the same way directories may. The binary Windows release does not have zip support.
If you have issues running the Windows binary release, make sure you have Microsoft's Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Package (the 32 bit version, that is, download the file called vcredist_x86.exe). It's very likely already installed, but in case of any errors first make sure that is in fact the case.

Don't Starve Lunar Calendar In Javascript
Save this html file to your desktop and open it in a browser. It will automatically generate a calendar of Don't Starves moon cycles going out to day 200. Input whatever day you want moon cycles calculated out to.
Notes:
I don't actually care if you put the file on your desktop or not, just put it somewhere that you can find it and open it.
Pigs will turn into werepigs on a full moon. Werepigs are very bad piggies and will likely attack you and kill you for no reason. This is also when woody becomes the doom incarnate of all vegetation.
The latest day I tested successfully was day 50,000. It was a very long calendar and the scroll-bar thingy was very small. If you intend to not starve for longer then 50k days then you may need a longer calender.
Internet Explorer may block content from the lunar calendar. It's blocking Javascript which is the programming language used to generate the calendar. I promise it won't hack your computer and install pop-up advertisements for "Over 100 horney chicks in your area can't wait to chat with you right now!"
This script won't hack anything at all actually. It's not a hack, it just makes a calendar. Just go ahead and hit "run script" or open it in Firefox instead.
While transformed into a werebeaver, you should refrain from eating the berry bushes you planted earlier that day. Bad Werebeaver! bad. bad. bad. You go back to the firepit and starve back into Woody right now!
Leave comments if there's some functionality you would like added to this calendar. Making it was kinda fun.
Don't Starve.

Development tool
This mod adds a Development Tool - It have been crated by Klei, to help with testing Don't Starve and RoG DLC. File "devtool.lua" can be found in vanilla game, in prefabs folder. This mod adds a remade version of it, that makes it possible to use in-game, along with couple of features.
Devtool:
- can be used as weapon (range: 20, about half of a screen; damage: 10000)
- can be used as axe, pick, shovel, hammer and net; every action is instant
- creates large light spot around a holder, or around lying spot
- provides health, hunger and sanity insta-regeneration
- provides heat in Winter and (if RoG is enabled) act as cooler in Summer
- act as Walking Cane, adding speed multiplier (about 2 times faster than normal)
- has built-in prototyper, so you can prototype stuff anywhere and anytime
- if you want to build anything, provides necessary resources
- act as blinkstaff (you can teleport to a chosen spot)
- almost every feature is configurable in mod configuration screen
I'm uploading it here as a mod, because it really helps testing mods. It doesn't have a crafting recipe (obviously), so, Here as a console command that you have to type in console to get it:
c_give("devtool")
This mod is meant to be OP, because I made it to help testing mods...
Consider that before posting a comment...
Have fun with testing mods

Texture and Atlas Packer
This program can be used to create a single texture and atlas file from multiple images.
VirusTotal: Here
Unpack Function:
The unpack function allows the end user to break down Texture (.tex) files into their base image into a Portable Network Graphics (.png) file.
HOW TO USE EXPORT FUNCTION:
When adding files instead of adding Image Files, select 'Texture Files' from the drop down. Add the Texture (.tex) files you wish to unpack and click the Unpack button. If you press the Unpack button and no Texture (.tex) files are in the list, it will skip operations. If a Texture (.tex) file is in the list and you press the Pack button, the pack function will skip the Texture (.tex) file.
NOTE 1:
This required .NET Frameworks 4.6 in order to run it correctly. Please download it from the Microsoft Website if you're not running Windows 10.
Regards,
Kzisor/Ysovuka

TextureConverter
By Bigfoot
This is Klei's internal tool for converting textures into our in-game format.
NOTE:
This tool comes with a big Buyer Beware! This is a development tool and not end user friendly. As you've discovered there is virtually no error checking because we use it in a very narrow set of circumstances and those are well debugged.
Also please note the game engine only supports ARGB/DXT1/3/5.
Hey all,
I see that many of you are looking to create .tex files for the game to load. I've discussed it with the team, and we're releasing our own Texture Converter for you to use.
Have fun!
