Here is how to change the map your Garry's Mod server runs.

<div className="fd-steps">
  <div className="fd-step">
    Open the Startup Page [#1-open-the-startup-page]

    Log in to the [XGamingServer Panel](https://panel.xgamingserver.com) and select your Garry's Mod server. In the sidebar, click **Startup**.
  </div>

  <div className="fd-step">
    Change the Map [#2-change-the-map]

    Find the **Map** field and enter the map name. Common default maps include:

    | Map                  | Description                  |
    | -------------------- | ---------------------------- |
    | `gm_construct`       | Classic sandbox building map |
    | `gm_flatgrass`       | Flat grass sandbox map       |
    | `gm_bigcity`         | Large city sandbox map       |
    | `ttt_67thway_v14`    | Popular TTT map              |
    | `ttt_minecraft_b5`   | Minecraft-themed TTT map     |
    | `rp_downtown_v4c_v2` | Popular DarkRP map           |
    | `rp_rockford_v2b`    | Large DarkRP city map        |
  </div>

  <div className="fd-step">
    Restart Your Server [#3-restart-your-server]

    Go to **Console** in the sidebar and restart your server.
  </div>
</div>

Using Workshop Maps [#using-workshop-maps]

If you want to use a custom map from the Steam Workshop:

<div className="fd-steps">
  <div className="fd-step">
    Find the Map on the Workshop [#1-find-the-map-on-the-workshop]

    Browse the [Steam Workshop for Garry's Mod](https://steamcommunity.com/app/4000/workshop/) and find your desired map.
  </div>

  <div className="fd-step">
    Add the Map to Your Workshop Collection [#2-add-the-map-to-your-workshop-collection]

    Follow the [Install Addons](/docs/garrys-mod/install-addons) guide to add the map's Workshop ID to your server.
  </div>

  <div className="fd-step">
    Set the Map Name [#3-set-the-map-name]

    In **Startup**, set the **Map** field to the map's BSP name (not the Workshop name). You can usually find this in the map's Workshop description.
  </div>

  <div className="fd-step">
    Restart Your Server [#4-restart-your-server]

    Restart to load the new map.

    > 💡 **Tip:** You can change the map in-game using RCON or the admin console with the command `changelevel mapname`.
