Melon Sandbox (formerly Melon Playground) is far more fun with mods — extra characters, weapons, vehicles, anime skins and full addon packs. This guide shows the simplest way to install them on iPhone and iPad, with no jailbreak and no complicated file managers.
What you need
- An iPhone or iPad running Melon Sandbox (the current version — it used to be called Melon Playground).
- The free Mel Mods app, which gives you a browsable library of mods.
Step-by-step: installing a mod
- Install the Mel Mods app from the App Store. It’s free.
- Open Mel Mods and browse or search for a mod — for example an anime character, a weapon pack or an NPC.
- Tap the mod, then tap Download.
- Follow the on-screen import steps — the app hands the mod file to Melon Sandbox for you.
- Open Melon Sandbox. Your new mod appears in the in-game mods list, ready to spawn.
Where to find the best mods
The Mel Mods app has thousands of mods built in, and you can also browse the full, searchable library — organised by category and franchise — on our website at melonmodhub.com. It’s the same collection behind the app, plus install guides and franchise pages (anime, horror, vehicles and more).

Is it safe?
Yes. Mods are custom content files for a sandbox game — they don’t modify iOS itself and don’t require a jailbreak. Stick to a trusted source like the Mel Mods app or melonmodhub.com rather than random file-sharing links.
