Mods are typically packed in zip archives (sometime file extension changed to something like zipp if this is the case rename it to plain zip)
To install mod on Remixed Dungeon manually:
In order to be able to play your mod (or any other non-official mod), you need to place your modified files in a folder named the way you want your mod to be named (example: “My mod”).
Don't forget to add at least minimal version.json file with something like {“version”:1} as content.
Place that folder into the ”files” directory of the game.
Approximate path on typical android system looks like this:
Android/data/com.nyrds.pixeldungeon.ml/files/ .
Each mod is resource overlay, that is they replace game assets such as textures, sounds, json configuration files and lua scripts while leaving java code intact.
The simplest way to get a better view at Remixed is to download one of the bundled mods and examine its structure. Maze is good to start from.
Maybe it's worth for you to check Remixed PD mods mechanics. It is far from complete, completely lacks documentation, full of bugs, etc. But at this point, it allows to do the following (without touching the java code):
By just overriding resources you can:
Using json configuration files you can:
With some lua scripts you can:
You can check how other mods are structured, to get a better idea.
For example, you can see : ( https://github.com/NYRDS/PD_mini-RPD-MOD )
Since mod can drastically change the game difficulty, you cannot earn badges while playing the mod.

Gdzie tworzyć mody?
Ok, where do I upload my small mod when I am finished?
Is there a website or a mod uploader?
Here is central mods list:
https://github.com/NYRDS/pixel-dungeon-remix-mods
In short you upload your mod packed to zip somewhere and then if mod is good I add link to it in list.
Or you can redistribute it in any way for manual install
Also, what is the gnoll tomahawk called? I want to give one to a mage but I cant find the type. Is it “GnollTomahawk” “Gnoll_Tomahawk” “Gnolltomahawk” “Gnoll_tomahawk” or something else?
For full list of built-in items please check https://github.com/NYRDS/pixel-dungeon-remix/blob/master/PixelDungeon/src/main/java/com/nyrds/pixeldungeon/items/common/ItemFactory.java
Thank you! I really appreciate it.

How do I edit mob behavior? Is it placed in the assets folder as lua or is built in the app?
Mob behavior is more complex task:
1) You need to create CustomMob check https://github.com/NYRDS/pixel-dungeon-remix/blob/master/PixelDungeon/src/main/assets/mobsDesc/BlackRat.json - for common stats
and
https://github.com/NYRDS/pixel-dungeon-remix/blob/master/PixelDungeon/src/main/assets/mobsDesc/BlackCat.json - for custom ai
2) Then define custom lua behavior to it ( check https://github.com/NYRDS/pixel-dungeon-remix/tree/master/PixelDungeon/src/main/assets/scripts/mobs folder for examples )
