Adding Mods to HumanitZ

info

Before adding or removing mods, make sure your HumanitZ instance is switched OFF to prevent data loss or corruption.

Before We Begin​

This guide only covers installing mods on the CreeperPanel, not obtaining mods - before you begin, make sure to download the mods you wish to install, and have them easily locatable in preparation for uploading to the CreeperPanel.

Some mods may need to be installed in one location, and some mods may need to be installed in another, and so on. Usually, the mod author will write the intended installation path in the mod description - make sure you place the mod where it states so it will function correctly. For this example, we will be using the mod Common Sense, and will follow the instructions from the mod author to install it. Your instructions may differ slightly.

Uploading and Installing Mods​

Now you've downloaded your mods, it's time to add them to your server. To start:

  1. Select HumanitZ in the CreeperPanel's side-bar.
  2. Now, navigate to Files, found under Settings on the sub-menu..
  3. You'll start in the humanitz directory; follow the mod authors instructions for where to send the mod. In this case, we need to follow humanitz > HumanitZServer > Content > Paks.
  4. You should now see the content of the Paks directory.
