To install mods on a Mordhau server, find each mod’s ID on mod.io, stop your server, open Mordhau/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini in Files and add one Mods=<mod ID> line per mod under [/Script/Mordhau.MordhauGameSession], for example Mods=71385. Click Save Content and start the server. It downloads the mods while it starts.

​
Before you start

  • Start the server once, so Game.ini exists.
  • Make a backup before you add mods.
  • Mordhau has no mod page in the Game Panel. You add mods by their mod.io ID in Game.ini.
  • You don’t need a mod.io account or token for the server.

​
How to find a mod’s ID

Open the mod on mod.io. The ID is the number shown in the mod’s details (for example 71385). The mod’s name or web address is not enough; the server needs the number.

​
How to add mods to your Mordhau server

1

Stop the server

Stop the server so nothing overwrites your edit.
2

Open Game.ini

Click Files and open Mordhau > Saved > Config > LinuxServer > Game.ini.
3

Find the session section

Find the line [/Script/Mordhau.MordhauGameSession]. It holds settings such as ServerName and AdminPassword.
4

Add one line per mod

Under that line, add a Mods= line for each mod:
5

Save and start

Click Save Content, then start the server. Watch the console. The first start after adding mods takes longer because the server downloads them.
The panel keeps your Mods= lines when the server starts. It only rewrites its own lines (server name, passwords and player slots).

​
Do some mods need extra settings?

Yes. Some mods ask you to add more lines to Game.ini, or are map mods that also need a map rotation entry. Read the mod’s description on mod.io and follow it. For maps, see install custom maps.

​
How to remove a mod

Stop the server, delete the mod’s Mods= line from Game.ini, click Save Content and start the server again. If the mod was a map, also remove its MapRotation= lines.

​
Frequently asked questions

​
Is there a mod page for Mordhau in the Game Panel?

No. Mordhau has no game settings or mod pages in the panel. You add mods with Mods= lines in Game.ini, as shown above.

​
Why did my server stop starting after I added a mod?

A wrong ID or a broken mod can stop the server from loading. Remove the last Mods= line you added and start again, or restore the previous version of Game.ini with History in the file editor. See server not starting.

​
Can I upload mod files myself?

Use Mods= lines. The server downloads and updates mod.io mods for you, so you don’t need to upload files.

​
Where is Game.ini on my Mordhau server?

In Mordhau/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/. It is created the first time the server starts. See Game.ini explained.
