Step-by-step guides for setting up and managing your game servers.
BeamMP has no built-in voice chat. Here is how players actually talk in 2026: Discord, BeamVoice, and proximity voice built into Connect servers, with setup steps for owners and players.
BeamMP has no server password — "private" means unlisted plus a whitelist. Two ways to set one up: a hosted server that is private in a minute, or self-hosting with Private = true, port forwarding and direct connect.
The admin command list as it actually stands on Build 42.20 — becoming admin, the seven access levels, the console-vs-chat slash rule, daily-use commands by job, and the B42 changes (capabilities, new item IDs) older lists miss.
The practical walkthrough of the ~20 keys admins actually change — identity, PvP, PauseEmpty, backups, mods — plus the SandboxVars world rules, the stop-edit-start rule, and which choices are world-permanent.
Your B41 world can't come to Build 42 — but your settings mostly can, and your group definitely can. The honest carry-over table, the fresh-start path, the legacy-branch option, and the backup to take first.
Build 42 moved the floor: ~6GB before a single mod loads. The sizing table by group size and mod count, the JVM -Xmx 75% rule, and how to recognise GC stutter before you buy the wrong upgrade.
The complete, current guide to running a B42 dedicated server — SteamCMD install, servername and cachedir explained, first boot, servertest.ini, both UDP ports, admin and whitelist, and the habits that keep it alive.
Install BeamMP mods without FTP — 361 curated mods, custom uploads to 4GB, install-from-URL, and a map installer that picks the right level for you. Plus what 3,443 public servers say about how many mods you should run.
Palworld dedicated servers don’t update themselves. How to fix "incompatible version", update without losing your world, and why auto-update and mods don’t mix.
Exit code 127, SteamCMD app 2394010 failing at 0x2, restart loops after a config edit, and the IPv6 problem that kills Palworld installs while every other game on the same machine works fine.
Every Palworld admin command that actually exists, why RCON is deprecated, how to use the REST API that replaces it — and the save file that silently blanks your admin password.
