What kind of mod is this? The modder SkyExplosionist, together with GameWithPixels, Tsuda Kageyu, Michael Matsev, and Andrey Unis, has developed a mod for Baldur’s Gate 3 that connects smart dice directly with the game. The mod is available on NexusMods.
What dice do you need for this? The mod is primarily designed for the smart dice from Pixels, but should also be compatible with other models. If in doubt, check with the NexusMods community or the mod’s developer if your dice will work.
Does this work with all control types and in co-op? Mouse and keyboard as well as DualSense and Xbox controllers are supported, and the mod works perfectly in co-op mode.

How do you install all of this? You can find a detailed guide on Github. But basically, you need to follow these steps:

- Configure your smart dice with the PixelsTray at the path: Baldur’s Gate 3binmodsPixelsDiceTray
The PixelsTray app should automatically search for your smart dice so that you can pair them. Once you have done that, the mod should be usable.
How do you activate the dice in the game? If everything went well during the setup, the PixelsTray should automatically start with the game whenever you launch Baldur’s Gate 3. If it doesn’t work, it might help to disable Steam Input as follows, as this can block the mod:
- Right-click on Baldur’s Gate 3
- Then go to Properties
- Then click on Controller
- Then click on the button at “Override for Baldur’s Gate 3”
- Select “Disable Steam Input” there
Then restart and try again.
