How to update or remove mods on your Core Keeper server

Each mod on a PlayNHost Core Keeper server is one folder in CoreKeeperServer_Data/StreamingAssets/Mods. To update a mod, replace that folder's files with the new version. To remove it, delete the folder. Restart the server after either, and take a backup first.

How do I update a mod?

1. Download the new version from the mod's page on mod.io, or zip its updated Steam Workshop folder from your PC.
2. Open your server in the panel and stop it.
3. In Files, open CoreKeeperServer_Data/StreamingAssets/Mods and then the mod's folder.
4. Select everything in it and delete it.
5. Upload the new .zip, tick it, click Unzip and delete the .zip.
6. Start the server and wait for Started session in the Console.

Tell your players to update the mod in their own game too. Everyone needs the same version.

Do server mods update by themselves?

No. Pugstorm's modding documentation says "mods installed manually will need to be updated manually", and every mod on a server is installed by hand. Your players' mods from mod.io or Steam Workshop update in their own game while it is closed, so check the server's copy after a mod update.

The Modding tab puts it the same way: "Delete the mod folder and restart. Nothing else has to be undone." It also warns that removing a mod that added items can leave those items behind as nothing in your world.

What happens to mods after a Core Keeper update?
