How do I install and load mods on my game server?

Adding mods is one of the best ways to make a game server your own. The exact steps differ from game to game, but the overall flow is the same across titles — upload, enable, and restart.

The general flow

1. Upload the mod files through the Files tab or via SFTP, placing them in the game's mods folder.
2. Enable them using the Startup options or the game's own config.
3. Restart the server so the mods load.

Making sure mods actually load

If mods aren't loading — for example Valheim mods or a Fabric modpack like DarkRPG — the cause is almost always one of a few things:

• The files are in the wrong mods folder.
• The load order is off.
• The mod doesn't match your installed game or loader version.

Double-check those three first before assuming the mod is broken.

Tip: For Garry's Mod you can run a gamemode like TTT with addons together — install the addons and set the gamemode in the Startup tab.

Frequently asked questions

Do all games use the same mods folder? No — the folder name and location vary by game. Check the game's modding documentation, or open a ticket if you're unsure where yours belongs.

My mod matches the game version but still won't load — what next? Confirm the loader version too (for example the exact Fabric or Forge build), then open a ticket with your console log and we'll take a look.
