BeamMP ServerConfig.toml Settings Explained

ServerConfig.toml is the control plane for a BeamMP dedicated server.

Common keys

Key	Role
`AuthKey`	Backend auth / listing
`Port`	Listen port (match allocation)
`Name`	List / browser name
`Private`	Hide from public list when true
`MaxCars`	Vehicles per player
`AllowGuests`	Guest join policy
`Description`	List description text

Safe community defaults

Private = true
MaxCars = 2
AllowGuests = true

Raise MaxCars only after a test cruise. See sizing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MaxCars?

Per-player vehicle limit — raise carefully; chaos eats CPU.

AllowGuests?

Controls guest join behavior — tighten for private clubs.

Do I restart after edits?

Yes — restart the Pterodactyl server after ServerConfig.toml changes.

Need help?

If you are stuck after following this guide, open a ticket from the Chapter22 client area with the exact error, the port or DNS change you made, and whether the service listens locally (ss / Resource Monitor) but fails externally.
