Important Notes Before Installing Mods
⚠️ To ensure a stable and hassle-free experience, keep these tips in mind:
- Our automatic mod installer handles all required mod dependencies, so you don’t need to manually add them.
- Mod codes are generated without specifying a version, ensuring your server always downloads the latest mod version.
- Avoid installing too many mods at once. Install a few mods at a time and test them, this makes it easier to identify mod compatibility issues.
- After an Arma Reforger update, some mods may break. The more mods you have installed, the higher the risk of issues during game updates.
- Some mods are large and may take additional time to download during server startup. Allow the server time to fully initialize.
Getting the Mod URLs
To install mods, you only need the mod page URL from the official Reforger Workshop. Find the mods you want and copy their links.

For this example, we’ll use the following mods:
How to Install the Workshop Mods
- Stop your Arma Reforger server.
- Click the Reforger Workshop button in your control panel.
- Paste the mod URLs (one per line) and click Execute.
- Start your server to begin the mod download process.
Tips and Warnings
⚠️ To successfully install workshop mods on your server, don't forget these important tips
- Don’t install too many mods at once, always test in small batches.
- Some mods are large and will increase server startup time. Be patient while the server loads them.
How to Update Mods Automatically
- Mods are updated automatically each time the server restarts, as long as no version is specified in the mods code in the
Server.jsonfile. - If you used our automatic mod installer, the version will not be set, ensuring the latest version is always downloaded.
- Having trouble updating? Go to the MORE button and click Delete Mods Cache to force a redownload.
How to Downgrade a Mod to a Specific Version
You can manually set a specific version of a mod in the Server.json mods code (if a newer version causes compatibility issues).
- Stop your Arma Reforger server.
- Go to the Configuration Files button and edit the
Server.jsonfile with the Config Editor option. - In the Mods JSON code section, specify the version you want to download by entering it in the
versionfield of the corresponding mod. - Delete the mods cache when switching versions, going to the MORE button, and clicking the Delete Mods Cache action.
- You can find the available versions for each mod on its Reforger Workshop page, located under the Changelog tab.
- The image below provides a visual example. In this case, the Where Am I mod is set to download version 1.0.2, while BetterHitsEffects 3.0 Alpha will automatically download the latest available version.

How to Generate Mod Code Manually (Advanced)
Need to skip the auto-installer? Use our Generate Mods Code feature under the MORE menu.
- Go to the MORE button near the Start/Stop buttons and press the Generate Mods Code action.
- Paste your mod URLs (one per line).
- Choose whether to generate the code with or without version numbers.
- Copy the generated code into your
Server.jsonfile.
