Is it possible to prevent mods download?

I have paid mods I would like to put on my Server and let people play with them, but not actually download. Is it possible?

Yes, it is not officially supported yet, but there is a trick

Heres the feature request to make this happen easier

github.com/BeamMP/BeamMP

[Feature Request] Add Paid Mods support in a simple way

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** The problem …we currently have in BeamMP is that no one can use Paid mods on their Server. But yet players are wishing for them all over the place. As Players say, those who are honest have less fun then those that ignore the rules. Id like to Propose a feature that could make it possible to run paid mods on public servers. **Describe the solution you'd like** The server should get a new setting in the .toml for mods to activate on the client. The server would not have the mod present, but just say, hey client activate that mod if you have it. Otherwise dont. This will cause black balls for those that dont have the mod, but generally the ability to then "host" these paid mods overweights the blackball issue in my mind. **Describe alternatives you've considered** Reenable mod sideloading
