Get players onto your BeamMP server faster
Beam Mod Manager (BMM) is a free Windows app for BeamNG.drive mods. Its server prep links the mods a player already has into BeamMP, so when they join your server, BeamMP checks those files instead of downloading them again.
How it works for your players
- They open BeamMP Servers in BMM and find your server. BMM shows how many of your server’s mods are already in their library.
- One click preps the server: BMM links those mods into BeamMP’s mod folder, named the way BeamMP looks for them.
- They join your server through BeamMP as usual. BeamMP checks each prepped file and uses it if it matches your server’s copy exactly — anything else downloads from your server like normal.
What your server gets out of it
- Shorter waits before joining: mods a player already has don’t download again.
- Less upload from your server, because matching mods are checked on the player’s PC instead of being sent again.
- Nothing to install or configure on your server — it works with any server in the public BeamMP list.
- It’s free for every player, on every BMM tier.
What prep doesn’t do
It doesn’t join servers for anyone — players still pick your server in BeamMP’s own list. Mods a player doesn’t have, or has in a different version, still download from your server as normal. Servers missing from the public BeamMP list can’t be prepped. It doesn’t get anyone past a server’s password, whitelist or bans.
Running your own server?
Turn on My Server in BMM’s Settings and point it at your server’s Resources/Client folder. A BeamNG / My Server switch then lets you manage the mods your server hands out from the same library you play from — link or unlink a mod with one click. It’s free.
