How to Change Maps & Install Mods on Your Unturned Server

All official and curated Unturned maps, Steam Workshop mods, and RocketMod/OpenMod plugin setup.

Changing the Map

Go to Console in the XGamingServer Panel and stop the server.

In Files, navigate to Servers/<ServerName>/Server/ and open Commands.dat. Change the Map line:

Map PEI

Click Save Content and start from Console.

Community-made maps officially endorsed by Smartly Dressed Games:

Use the exact map folder name in the Map command.

Browse the Unturned Steam Workshop for maps. The Workshop ID is the number in the URL.

In Files, navigate to Servers/<ServerName>/Workshop/ and open WorkshopDownloadConfig.json:

{
  "File_IDs": [1234567890]
}

In Commands.dat, set Map to the Workshop map's folder name (check the Workshop page description for the exact name).

The server downloads the map on startup.

Find mods on the Workshop. Copy their Workshop IDs.

Add all mod IDs to the same file:

{
  "File_IDs": [1234567890, 9876543210, 5555555555]
}

The server downloads mods automatically. Players also auto-download them on connect.

RocketMod is built into Unturned. To enable it, add to Commands.dat:

Rocket

Plugins go in Servers/<ServerName>/Rocket/Plugins/. Download .dll plugin files from sites like unturnedstore.com and upload them.

RocketMod configs are in Servers/<ServerName>/Rocket/.

OpenMod is a modern alternative to RocketMod with .NET support and a package manager. It can run alongside RocketMod.

Install via the in-game console. OpenMod plugins are managed through its own package system rather than manual file uploads.
