It's a secret to everyone, but it is possible to run a WebLiero server with custom mods by providing a json/json5 file and a wlsprt file (which uses a custom but simple binary format) to the in-game "/loadmod" command. At this time, however, the author is still developing mod support and the formats (JSON schema in particular) are subject to change so... caveat emptor.

That said, if anyone is interested in tweaking WebLiero mods and is not afraid to get their hands dirty, I wrote a (very rudimentary) program to convert .wlsprt to a folder of indexed-color PNG files and vice-versa[1]. You'll probably also want a copy of the "official" mods to use as a reference[2].

At the risk of counting chickens before they hatch, I am actually in the process of writing a mod editor in the spirit of LieroKit/LieroM8 that would smooth some of the rough edges of modding this game. I'm calling it WebLieroKit, unfortunately due to the timing of this post making the front page I cannot provide a working demo but I felt it was worth mentioning while there are eyeballs around.
