Log into the [Game Control Panel](https:\u002F\u002Fgamepanel.hosthavoc.com) and navigate to your server.\n2. Start the server and wait for it to fully load.\n3. Click the **Web Console** icon in the left sidebar.\n4. Run the following command, replacing `ModID` with the mod's identifier:\n\n```\n\u002Fmoddb install ModID\n```\n\nThe `ModID` is typically the mod name without spaces, and matches the last segment of the mod's URL. For example, for `https:\u002F\u002Fmods.vintagestory.at\u002Fprimitivesurvival`, the `ModID` is `primitivesurvival`.\n\n## Method 2: Upload manually via FTP or File Manager\n\nUse this method for mods that are not in the mod database or that you downloaded as a `.zip` file.\n\n1. Locate the mod's `.zip` file on your computer.\n2.
