This guide explains how to load a map on your s&box server. Maps determine the environment your server runs and can be selected from a wide range of community-created content.

You can browse and find maps on the s&box UGC, then set your chosen map in the Config section of your panel. The steps below will walk you through selecting and applying a map so it loads correctly on your server.


#Locating a Map

You can locate your desired map on the community workshop for s&box, here. In this example, we will be using the map "Flatgrass".


#Loading the Map onto your Server

  1. Access your Control Panel and navigate to the Config tab.
  2. Locate the Map option and set it to the map identifier. This follows the format author.map_name, which you can find in the map's URL - e.g. sbox.game/facepunch/flatgrass → facepunch.flatgrass.
  3. Save and restart your server to ensure the new changes apply.
