How to install mods on a Core Keeper Server

Last updated 16 Sept 2025

Need a game server?

Spin one up fast with our feature-rich panel and seriously low prices.

Download the mod

Go To mod.io/g/corekeeper.
Find the mod you want to add to the server.
Scroll down on the right panel and download the mod manually.

Create the Mods Folder

To note the mods & modloader folders in the root is just for mod configs and not for the mods themselves!

Go to File Manager [[UUID_LINK:files|here]].

Navigate to "CoreKeeperServer_Data > StreamingAssets" [[UUID_LINK:files#/CoreKeeperServer_Data/StreamingAssets|here]] and create a "Mods" folder.

Each mod will need it's own folder and the folder names are arbitrary, so for example the mod Enemy Health Bars.
Create a folder in "Mods" called "Health Bars".

Drag the .zip that was downloaded from mod.io into "Health Bars".
Unarchive the .zip, It should look something like this:

The mod is installed!

Notes

If your server was running you'll have to restart it to apply the mod.
If you or one of your friends doesn't have a server-side mod installed they will not be able to join the server, though client sided mods are fine.
