Choose mods only from trusted sites to ensure the security of your server!

Uploading Mods to the Server​

Restarting the Server and Checking Mods​

  • Restart the Server: To activate the added mods, a restart of your server is required.

  • Verification: After the restart, you can check if the mods have been loaded correctly by either checking the server log or accessing the mod list directly in the game.

Configuring Mods (Optional)​

Some mods offer the option to adjust settings via configuration files. These are usually located in the config folder of your server. You can edit and adjust these files similarly to the mod files themselves via SFTP.

Do not forget to create a backup of your server before starting the mod installation to avoid possible data loss.
