BeamMP adds a multiplayer mode to BeamNG.drive and brings the physics-based vehicle sandbox to life with friends. You can organize convoys, run races, test off-road trails, or simply try out vehicles and setups. On your own BeamMP Server you decide which content is loaded and who joins your sessions.
This wiki helps you set up your BeamMP server and expand it with your own content. Here you will find the basics for connecting via an auth key as well as guides for uploading vehicles and maps.
BeamNG.drive is known for its detailed vehicle physics. Bodywork, suspension, tires, and collisions react directly to what happens. BeamMP brings this experience to multiplayer, creating a foundation for shared drives, organized events, and spontaneous tests with other players.
BeamMP can be played in many ways. One group can run a convoy while other players prepare races, drift sessions, or demanding off-road routes. Police scenarios, chases, vehicle comparisons, and crash tests also work especially well when everyone is on the same server.
The wide range of vehicles, maps, and configurations keeps things varied. You can test fast road cars, guide heavy trucks across rough terrain, or prepare custom tracks for specific events. Because vehicle physics plays a central role, stable connections and a reliable, well-connected server are especially important for a smooth multiplayer experience.
Your own BeamMP server gives your group a fixed meeting place for shared drives. You are not dependent on random public servers, changing rules, or available slots. Instead, you decide who may join, which map is used, and which vehicles or mods are part of your session.
For clans and communities, fixed server rules are especially helpful. Recurring convoys, race nights, or vehicle challenges are easier to plan when the configuration persists and all players use the same baseline. Smaller groups of friends also benefit from the fact that no one has to keep their PC running as the host.
For your server to be used, the connection requires a valid auth key. It confirms your server configuration and is an important prerequisite for operation. Keep the auth key safe and use it only in the intended server configuration.
Custom vehicles and maps add new content to BeamMP. Vehicles can bring new driving styles and challenges to your sessions, while custom maps provide the environment for races, rallies, drift tracks, or off-road events. When uploading, make sure the files are complete and that all players can use the same content.
A controlled mod setup also prevents a session from failing to start due to missing or incompatible files. It is best to test new content one at a time and back up your working configuration before making multiple changes at once.
At 4NetPlayers you can rent your own BeamMP server and use it for convoys, races, vehicle tests, or community events. Your group gets a dedicated server with its own maps, vehicles, and rules that remains accessible independently of any single player’s PC.
