Steps to Add Mods to Your The Forest Server Using ModAPI
- Head over to this link to find the mods you prefer: Browse Mods. Once you’ve chosen a mod that you like, simply click on the download icon located on the right side of the mod's page.
Mod creators add a warning or a reminder to a mod if it can be used on Single Player or Multiplayer (Lan, Peer to peer or Dedicated Servers).
- Navigate to your download folder, copy the mod file, and paste it in this path inside the ModAPI folder:
mods/The Forest/.
Now, open ModAPI and you should see your downloaded mods listed there. Just click on the checkbox next to each mod you want to enable and then click on Start Game.
If it’s your first time using the program, it will prompt you to specify the game path for “The Forest.” The standard path is usually
SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/TheForest/.
Now sit back and enjoy your modded game!
Troubleshooting and Tips
If you encounter any issues, here are some common troubleshooting tips:
- Ensure that the mod files are correctly placed in the
mods/The Forest/folder. - If a mod does not seem to work, check the mod's documentation for compatibility warnings, specifically regarding single-player compatibility.
- Make sure you have the latest version of ModAPI and your mods.
- Remember that any mods you add will only be available locally on your server, meaning others must also have those mods to join your game.
