Installing Mods on Your Server

Most games support mods or plugins. Here's how to get them onto your DustBowl.Games server.

Method 1: AMP File Manager (Easiest)

  1. Log into your AMP panel
  2. Navigate to File Manager
  3. Browse to the appropriate mods directory:
    • Minecraft: /mods/ or /plugins/
    • CS2: /csgo/addons/
    • Source games: /addons/
  4. Click Upload and select your mod files
  5. Restart your server

Method 2: SFTP (For Large Uploads)

For large files or bulk uploads, SFTP is faster:

  1. Download an SFTP client (we recommend WinSCP or FileZilla)
  2. Your SFTP credentials are in the AMP panel under Configuration > SFTP
  3. Connect and upload your files to the correct directory
  4. Restart your server

Important Notes

  • Always back up your server before installing mods
  • Check mod compatibility with your game version
  • Some mods require dependencies — read the mod's documentation
  • If your server won't start after installing a mod, check the console for error messages
