We have an option in game to automatically post lobbies to the Discord Server.
To enable, go into the new custom lotus-themed options menu. Under Ventlib Tab, you will see an option that says:
“Open Room to Discovery”
Upon remaking your lobby, you should see it in the PL Automatic Lobbies Thread.
Major Changes
- Support for the Latest Version of Among Us (v16.0.5 / 2025.4.20)
- Added Custom Button Art to 40 Different Roles
- Fixed a Crash that occurred randomly when the mod tries to load a sprite
- Rewrote Role Assignment Code (should help with preventing blackscreens)
New Roles
Turncoat (Neutral Passive)
The Turncoat is a neutral role that is initially on the crewmate team. They will win with the crew at the end of the game. However, they can choose to betray the crew by voting themselves in the meeting. As a result, their role will be revealed to everyone else. In order to prevent the crew from instantly voting the Turncoat, you can mark a player with your kill button before revealing. This player will die if you die, so you can use this person as leverage to keep yourself alive. The player doesn’t even know that they are a sacrifice, so you can lie and blame someone entirely different (like the Doctor).

Known Bugs
- Rarely, players may blackscreen at the start of the game or after meeting. The cause of this is usually ping.
- Sometimes, Mastermind may still kill you even if you already killed someone else.
- Rarely, players may be teleported into walls. The cause of this is usually roles like Escapist where you mark positions too close to walls.
- Rarely when shapeshifting, players might still have their original name.
- Romantic’s win-condition may bug out sometimes, meaning you won’t win with your partner.
- Most translations aren’t 100% complete.

- Changed Last Resort’s priority (meaning the reveal vote takes higher priority over role ability)
Note:
As it is required that you do a fresh install, your options and titles/other info will be reset. But you can copy them over! If you go into BepInEx/config
, you will see a preset folders. These folders hold your options. Cut and paste them into your new Among Us folder for v16.0.5.
Presets may also not work correctly on first launch. If you are having issues, please restart the game.

For The Future
This release is just a preview of what’s to come—we’re still actively developing new features and improvements.
Here is list of things we plan to include in the future.
- Fungle Support (you can apparently play the map right now, but there are issues so please don’t bother reporting)
- Updating Modded Client Compatibility
- Add more Languages
- Add New Roles & Other Content
If you are developer, you can actually add your own content without modifying PL!
We have added support for addons, and you can learn more info at this GitHub Repo!
You can check out addons made by others from the #community-content forum channel.
For the current developers:
- If you are making an addon and want to revive someone, call the new
CustomRole.Revive
method instead of CustomRole.Assign
like before.
- If you are making an addon and want to change the role of someone, call the new
CustomRole.ChangeRoleTo
method instead GameMode.Assign
like before.
If you are a translator, you can add languages!
We have a repository dedicated for language files. Check it out if you are interested!
