How to Add Mods to Your Necesse Server

In Necesse, mods are individual .jar files. Your server loads them from a dedicated folder that you fill via SFTP.

Obtain the mod file

Choose a mod
Look for the mod you want in the Necesse Steam Workshop or on the mod author's page.
Get the .jar file
You need the plain .jar file of the mod. If the author does not offer a direct download, subscribe to the mod in the Steam Workshop and start Necesse once – the game then downloads the mod and places the .jar file in your local mods folder:
```
%appdata%\Necesse\mods
```
Check the version
Make sure the mod matches the game version of your server. Mods built for a different version can prevent the server from starting.

Stop the server
Stop your server via the dashboard.
Connect via SFTP
Connect to your server via SFTP.
Open the mods folder
Change into the following directory:
```
/mods/
```
Note
If the folder does not exist yet, create it in the root directory of your server. The name must be exactly mods – your server runs on Linux and is case sensitive.
Upload the .jar file
Upload the .jar file directly into this folder. Do not create subfolders – the server only reads files that sit directly in the folder.
Start the server
Start your server via the dashboard.
Check the console
On startup your server lists the detected mods in the console. If your mod appears there, it was loaded.

Stop the server
Stop your server via the dashboard.
Delete the file
Delete the corresponding .jar file from the /mods/ folder.
Start the server
Start your server again.
