> Mordhau uses **Mod.io** for its community content rather than the standard Steam Workshop. This allows for cross-platform mod support and more granular control over mod updates. To install a custom map, you must subscribe to it via the server config and use its internal name to load it.

## 1. Subscribing to Mods (Game.ini)

1. Find the map you want on [Mordhau Mod.io](https://mordhau.mod.io).
2. Note the **Resource ID** (a series of numbers).
3. Open `Game.ini` and locate the `[Modivol.Modivol]` section (or create it):
   ```ini theme={null}
   [Modivol.Modivol]
   Mods=123456
   Mods=789012
   ```

***

## 2. Launching the Map

Adding the ID tells the server to download the files, but it does not tell the server to *start* the map.

1. To change to the custom map in-game, use: `changelevel U_InternalMapName`
2. **Finding the Name:** The internal name is often different from the Mod.io title (e.g., `U_HelmsDeep` for "Lord of the Rings - Helm's Deep"). You can find this name in the mod's description or by checking the server log on boot.

<Important>
  ### The "U\_" Prefix

  Most custom maps in Mordhau require the `U_` (Unreal) prefix before the map name when using the `changelevel` command. Without it, the server will default to a vanilla map or fail to load.
