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)
- Log into your AMP panel
- Navigate to File Manager
- Browse to the appropriate mods directory:
- Minecraft:
/mods/or/plugins/ - CS2:
/csgo/addons/ - Source games:
/addons/
- Minecraft:
- Click Upload and select your mod files
- Restart your server
Method 2: SFTP (For Large Uploads)
For large files or bulk uploads, SFTP is faster:
- Download an SFTP client (we recommend WinSCP or FileZilla)
- Your SFTP credentials are in the AMP panel under Configuration > SFTP
- Connect and upload your files to the correct directory
- 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
