Enshrouded Enshrouded has no official mod support yet, so server mods run through a community mod loader. Install the loader, stop the server, drop the mod files into the mods directory, and start it back up.
Quick answer
- You need a mod loader first. Shroudtopia and EML are the two that work on dedicated servers. The loader creates the
modsdirectory that everything else goes into. - Where mods come from: Nexus Mods is the primary source. Common categories are QoL tweaks (stack sizes, inventory management), building enhancements, and gameplay changes.
- Where the files go: the
modsdirectory on your server, uploaded with the server stopped. - Server-side or both: some mods work for everyone once installed on the server, others also need installing on each player’s client. The mod’s description page says which. Client-side installs use the same files, dropped into the player’s local Enshrouded game directory.
Installing mods
- Install a mod loader (Shroudtopia or EML) following the instructions on its download page, then download the mods you want from Nexus Mods
- Stop your server
- Upload the mod files to the
modsdirectory (created by the mod loader) using SFTP or the File Manager - Start your server
Check each mod’s description page before you start. Some need extra configuration beyond dropping the files in.
Removing mods
- Stop your server
- Navigate to the
modsdirectory in the File Manager - Delete the files for the mod you want to remove
- Start your server
