How to Install Mods on Your V Rising Server
Set up BepInEx and install mods on your V Rising dedicated server using Thunderstore or manual installation.
V Rising mods use the BepInEx framework. Server-side mods work without clients needing them. Client-side mods require all players to have matching mods installed.
Install BepInEx
Download BepInExPack
Download the V Rising BepInExPack from Thunderstore.
Stop the server
Go to Console in the XGamingServer Panel and stop the server.
Upload to the server
Extract the BepInExPack and upload the contents to your server root via Files. The structure should look like:
Start the server
Start from Console. BepInEx initializes on first run and creates config files.
Install Mods
Download mods
Find V Rising mods on Thunderstore or Nexus Mods.
Upload mod DLLs
Place .dll mod files in BepInEx/plugins/.
Restart
Restart from Console. Mod configs auto-generate in BepInEx/config/ on first load.
Popular Modding Framework
Bloodstone is the primary server-side modding framework for V Rising. Many server mods depend on it — install Bloodstone first, then mods that require it.
Server-Side vs Client-Side
| Type | Players Need Mods? | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Server-side | No | Admin tools, loot tweaks, server utilities |
| Client-side | Yes, all players | UI changes, custom abilities |
