How to Install Mods on Your V Rising Server

Updated 10 June 2026 · By Host Havoc Technical Support Team

V Rising server mods use BepInEx as the modding framework. Install BepInEx through the game panel first, then upload individual mod .dll files to the Plugins folder.

Install BepInEx

  1. Log into the Game Control Panel and navigate to your server.
  2. Stop the server.
  3. Click the Non Workshop Mod icon in the control panel.
  4. Find BepInEx in the list and click Install on the right-hand side.

Upload mod files

  1. Obtain the mod .dll file from the mod author (for example, from Thunderstore or Nexus Mods).
  2. Using the File Manager or an FTP client, navigate to ./BepInEx/Plugins/ on the server.
  3. Upload the .dll file into the Plugins folder.
  4. Start the server.

BepInEx loads all .dll files in the Plugins folder automatically on startup.

Troubleshooting

Mod not loading - Confirm BepInEx is installed and the .dll is in ./BepInEx/Plugins/, not a subdirectory. Check the server console for error output.

Server crashes after adding a mod - Remove the newly added .dll and test without it. Mod conflicts or incompatible versions are the most common cause.
