How To Install Mods on Your Barotrauma Server
Learn how to install Steam Workshop mods on your Barotrauma dedicated server.
Barotrauma supports Steam Workshop mods that can add new submarines, items, creatures, and gameplay mechanics. Here is how to install them on your server.
Find Mods on the Steam Workshop
Browse the Steam Workshop for Barotrauma and find the mods you want to install. Copy the Workshop ID from each mod's URL (the number at the end of the URL).
Open the Startup Page
Log in to the XGamingServer Panel and select your Barotrauma server. In the sidebar, click Startup.
Enter the Workshop Mod IDs
Find the Workshop Mod IDs or Mods field and enter the mod IDs. Separate multiple IDs with commas or semicolons depending on the field format.
Restart Your Server
Go to Console and restart your server. The mods will download automatically during startup.
📝 Note: Mod downloads may take some time depending on size. Watch the console output for progress.
⚠️ Warning: Players connecting to your server must have the same mods installed. Barotrauma will typically show which mods are required when a player tries to join, and they can subscribe to them from the Workshop.
💡 Tip: Always check mod compatibility before adding multiple mods. Some mods may conflict with each other or require specific load orders.
