How to Set Up Map Rotation on Your MORDHAU Server

Map rotation controls which maps show up in the in-game map vote at the end of each match. Setting it up is quick, but MORDHAU uses internal map names that don't always match what you see on screen, so this guide covers both editing the list and finding the correct names.

⚠️ Important Warning: Always make sure your server is completely stopped on your MintServers panel before editing Game.ini. MORDHAU holds its settings in memory while running and will overwrite your changes with the old values when it shuts down.

Step 1: Editing The Map Rotation

  1. Log into your MintServers panel and click Stop to safely shut down your server.
  2. Navigate to the Files tab and open Game.ini.
  3. Under the [/Script/Mordhau.MordhauGameMode] heading, add one MapRotation= line per map you want in rotation:
📄 Game.ini
[/Script/Mordhau.MordhauGameMode]
MapRotation=FFA_Cortile
MapRotation=FFA_Contraband
MapRotation=FFA_Highland
  1. Save the file and Start your server. Only the maps listed here will appear in the end-of-match vote.
📋 Note: Removing a map from this list just takes it out of rotation, it does not delete anything or affect maps currently installed on your server.

Step 2: Finding The Correct Map Names

Each official map has its own internal name, and it needs to be entered exactly, capitalization included. These names are generally prefixed by game mode, for example:

  • FFA_ and TDM_ for Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch maps
  • FL_ for Frontline maps
  • INV_ for Invasion maps
  • HRD_ for Horde maps, and DIH_ for Demon Horde maps
  • DU_ for Duel maps

Since the full list is long and gets updated as new maps are added, we recommend checking the Server Map Names page on the Mordhau Wiki for the complete, current list before building your rotation.

💡 Pro Tip: For modded maps, the internal map name won't be on the wiki. Check the mod's page on Mod.io instead, most authors list the exact name to use in the description. See our guide on How to Add Mods to Your MORDHAU Server for more on installing mods.

Once your rotation is set and your server has restarted, the new maps should appear the next time voting comes up. If a map isn't showing up or your server fails to load a map, double-check the name and capitalization against the wiki list. If you're still stuck, no worries! Just open a support ticket and our team will gladly take a look.
