How To Add Mods To Your Dont Starve Together Server

Customizing your survival experience with mods is one of the best parts of playing Don't Starve Together! Whether you want quality-of-life improvements or entirely new characters, adding Steam Workshop mods to your server is a straightforward process.

Let us walk through your MintServers game panel and get those mods installed!

Step 1: Find the Mod ID

Every mod on the Steam Workshop has a unique identification number. You will need this number to tell the server what to download.

1. Go to the Don't Starve Together Steam Workshop page and find a mod you want to install.
2. Look at the URL address bar at the top of your web browser.
3. Find the string of numbers at the very end of the link (for example: ?id=123456789). Copy those numbers to your clipboard.

Step 2: Tell the Server to Download the Mods

Now we need to add those IDs to your server files so it knows to download the necessary mod files.

1. Log into your MintServers panel and click the Stop button to ensure your server is completely offline.
2. On the left-hand sidebar, click on the Files tab to open your File Manager.
3. Navigate to the following folder path to locate your mod setup file:

4. Add the following lines to the file, replacing the numbers with your specific Mod IDs. You can add as many as you need, just put each one on a new line:

ServerModSetup("123456789")
ServerModSetup("987654321")
ServerModSetup("555555555")

5. Click the Save Content button at the top of the screen.

Step 3: Enable the Mods In-Game

Downloading the mods is only half the battle; now we have to turn them on for your world!

1. Still in your File Manager, navigate to the following folder path to locate or create your overrides file:

2. Open the file and add your mod IDs. If you are adding multiple mods, make sure to separate each entry with a comma:

return {
  ["workshop-123456789"] = { enabled = true },
  ["workshop-987654321"] = { enabled = true },
  ["workshop-555555555"] = { enabled = true }
}

3. Click Save Content, head back to your Console, and Start your server!
