# How To Add Don't Starve Together Server Mods

# How To Add Don't Starve Together Server Mods

Don't Starve Together server mods make it easy to customize the game with new features, characters, and community content without changing the default experience. Most setups rely on Steam Workshop content, where the server automatically handles the files and reads each mod’s configuration, version data, and LUA settings. The game simply loads whatever is enabled, and other players can join the server with those mods active, giving everyone a smoother, more personalized Starve Together experience.

## Installing Mods on a Don't Starve Together Server

* Open Steam's Don't Starve Together workshop to find all the mods you'd like.
