Since our game panel does not yet have automatic mod integration, mods must be uploaded manually:

1. Access the server file manager or connect via FTP.
2. Navigate to the BepInEx/plugins folder on the server.
3. Download the desired mod from a website such as Thunderstore.
4. Extract the downloaded archive if necessary and upload the .dll files to BepInEx/plugins.
