How to Change Your BeamMP Server Version

BeamMP servers update automatically by default, so most of the time there is nothing to do. This guide covers checking your version, turning automatic updates on or off, and moving a server to a specific release.

Check the Current Version

Start your server and look at the Console page in the NolimitHost Game Panel. The BeamMP server prints its version banner on startup, so the lines near the top of the console show exactly which build is running.

Automatic Updates

BeamMP updates itself when a new release is available unless you tell it not to. This is controlled by the ImScaredOfUpdates setting in ServerConfig.toml:

[General]
ImScaredOfUpdates = false
UpdateReminderTime = "30s"

• ImScaredOfUpdates = false - the server updates automatically.
• ImScaredOfUpdates = true - the server stays on its current version and only reminds you that an update exists.

Changing the Version

1. Stop the server from the Console page.
2. Back up your ServerConfig.toml and your Resources folder so you can restore them if needed.
3. On the panel, open the Startup tab and set the BeamMP Version field to the release you want, or enter latest for the newest one.
4. Go to Configuration > Advanced > Reinstall Server (or the equivalent reinstall action in your panel) to re-run the installer and pull the selected version.
5. Start the server and confirm the new version in the console banner.

Self-Hosting on a VPS

If you run BeamMP manually on a VPS, download the release you want from the BeamMP-Server releases page, replace the existing server binary, and start it again. Keep the existing ServerConfig.toml and Resources folder so your settings and mods are preserved.
