Adding mods to Arma 3 is a great way to mix up the gameplay and try new things. Whether it's a simple quality-of-life mod or a total overhaul, there'll likely be something that's perfect for you. This guide will cover where to find and add mods to your Arma 3 server.

Note

Whichever method you use, make sure you include all dependencies your mods may require, otherwise they may fail to load.

Finding Arma 3 Mods

You can view all the Arma 3 mods here.

Browse the Steam Workshop and Subscribe to the mods you want to add.

Exporting Your Arma 3 Modlist

1
Open Arma 3 to launch the Arma 3 Launcher.
2
Go to the MODS tab and enable the mods you want.
3
Select More > Export list of mods to a file.
4
Choose Only Loaded or All Mods.
5
Save your modlist, named modlist.html.

Installing Mods with a Modlist Recommended

Now that you've exported your modlist, here's how to install these mods on your server. This is the easiest way to add mods, and the method we recommend.

1
Log in to Bropanel and select your Arma 3 server.
2
In the sidebar, go to Files.
3
Upload your exported modlist.html.
4
Restart your server.

The mods will automatically update, download, and enable once your server starts. Users can download these mods while connecting to your server.

How to Get Your Workshop Mod IDs

As an alternative approach, you can install mods using their Workshop IDs. You will need the Workshop ID of each mod you want to install, which you can find by browsing all the Arma 3 mods here.

Once you find the mod you want, you need to copy the URL. Let's use this URL for example: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3700981838

In this example, the Workshop ID is 3700981838.

Installing Mods in Settings

You can also install mods from your server's Settings instead of exporting a modlist. This is handy for quickly adding or removing individual mods on the fly.

1
Log in to Bropanel and select your Arma 3 server.
2
In the sidebar, go to Settings.
3
In the Additional Mods field, enter your mods separated by semicolons.
4
Restart your server.

We recommend entering each mod as its Workshop ID in @workshopID form (for example, @123456789;@987654321;), as these are kept up to date when your server starts.

Note

Spaces in mod folder names will be ignored, so use Workshop IDs or lowercase folder names without spaces.
