Add Vehicle Mods to Your BeamMP Server
Learn how to install vehicle mods and custom content on your BeamMP dedicated server, including upload methods and load order management.
Adding mods to your BeamMP server is a great way to enhance gameplay and keep your community engaged. This guide walks you through uploading and enabling mods.
Before You Start
-
Not all mods will work: Upload mods in small batches and test before adding more. Broken or outdated mods can cause de-sync or prevent players from joining. See our Troubleshooting Guide.
-
Download Time: Be aware of mod file sizes, as this directly affects how long it takes players to join your server.
-
Optimization: Most well-optimized car mods should be 100-200 MB. Larger mods can cause lag for your players.
Uploading Mods to Your Server
Open Your Server Files
Log in to the XGamingServer Panel and select your BeamMP server. Access your server files using SFTP.
Upload Your Mods
Upload your mod files (usually .zip or .pc format) to the /Resources/Client/ directory on your server.
Restart Your Server
Restart your server to apply the changes. In the console, you should see something like [INFO] Loaded 9 Mods.
📝 Note: SFTP is the recommended way to upload files, especially for multiple files or anything larger than 1 GB.
Managing Mod Load Order (Optional)
Some mods need to be loaded in a specific order. Here is how to manage that.
Open the Resources Folder
In the sidebar, go to Files in the XGamingServer Panel and navigate to /Resources/Client/.
Rename for Load Order
Rename the mod files to reflect the desired load order using prefixes like 001_, 002_, etc.
Restart Your Server
Save the changes and restart your server.
