How to Create a Mow the Lawn Game on an s&box Server

Complete step‑by‑step guide using the official BisectHosting method.

1️⃣ Stop your server

Before making any changes, ensure your s&box server is fully stopped via your hosting panel.

2️⃣ Go to the Startup tab

In your BisectHosting panel, locate and open the Startup section. This is where you modify the game launch parameters.

3️⃣ Set the “Load Game” field

Find the Load Game or Game Mode input. Replace its content with the exact identifier:

taxi.mow_the_lawn

Important: Do not add extra spaces or characters. This string tells s&box to load the Mow the Lawn game mode.

4️⃣ Ensure “Load Map” is empty

In the same Startup tab, locate the Load Map field. It must be left completely blank. The game mode will automatically handle the correct map.

Load Map: [leave empty]
5️⃣ Start your server

Save the changes and start your server. Once it fully loads, the Mow the Lawn game mode will be active. Players can now join using your server's IP and port.

✅ Verify it works
Join your server from the s&box client. You should spawn with a basic grass cutter. Cut grass to earn points and unlock better equipment.

⚠️ Troubleshooting tip
If the server fails to start, make sure you have the latest version of s&box installed. Verify the game mode identifier is exactly taxi.mow_the_lawn (case‑sensitive).
