> Unlike Many Steam-based games, Mordhau uses **Mod.io** for its community content. This system allows for streamlined mod management and automatic downloads for connecting players. To use mods, you must link your Mod.io account to the server and specify which Resource IDs to load.

## 1. Retrieving Your Auth Token

To allow your server to communicate with the Mod.io API:

1. Log in to [Mod.io](https://mordhau.mod.io).
2. Go to **Account Settings** -> **API Access**.
3. Generate an **OAuth Access Token**.
4. Save this token; you will need to enter it into your FREAKHOSTING **Startup** parameters.

***

## 2. Configuration (Game.ini)

Once you have your token, you must tell the server which mods to download by their **Resource ID**:

1. Open `Game.ini` via the File Manager.
2. Locate (or create) the `[/Script/Mordhau.MordhauGameSession]` section.
3. Add your mod IDs:
   ```ini theme={null}
   [/Script/Mordhau.MordhauGameSession]
   Mods=12345
   Mods=67890
   ```

<Important>
  ### The Startup Flag

  For the Mod.io integration to function, ensure the `-ModDownload` flag is active in your Startup tab. FREAKHOSTING servers usually enable this by default, but it is the primary reason mods fail to initialize on boot.
