Understanding Your BeamMP Server Panel

Your control panel is where everything happens. Let's walk through what each section does so you know where to go when you need something.

Console

This is the first thing you see when you open your server. The Live Console shows real-time server output — player joins, errors, mod loading, the works. You can also type commands directly into the console input at the bottom.

Keep an eye on this when troubleshooting. If something breaks, the answer is usually in the console output.

Mod Manager

The Mod Manager tab is the easiest way to handle your mods. Drag and drop .zip files right in, toggle mods on and off without deleting them, and see exactly what's installed at a glance.

Behind the scenes, mods go into the Resources/Client folder — but you don't need to think about that unless you're doing things manually.

Config Editor

The Config Editor gives you a visual interface for your ServerConfig.toml file. Change your server name, set max players, switch maps, toggle public/private — all without touching a config file by hand.

If you prefer editing the raw file, you can do that through the File Manager instead.

File Manager

Full access to your server files. Upload, download, edit, rename, delete — whatever you need. Most people won't need this for day-to-day stuff since the Mod Manager and Config Editor cover the common tasks, but it's there when you need it.

Backups

The Backups tab lets you create manual snapshots of your server and set up automatic scheduled backups. One-click restore means you can roll back if something goes wrong.

Always back up before making big changes. Trust us on this one.

Templates

Templates are pre-configured server setups that you can apply with one click. Want a drift server? A freeroam setup? Instead of configuring everything from scratch, just pick a template and go.

Server Controls

At the top of every page, you've got your core controls:

• Start / Stop / Restart — self-explanatory
• Server address — your IP:port for Direct Connect
• Resource usage — CPU, RAM, and disk at a glance

That's the tour. You'll spend most of your time in the Console and Mod Manager, with occasional trips to the Config Editor. The rest is there when you need it.
