How to Install Mods on Your 7 Days to Die Server

Mod Support

7 Days to Die supports server-side mods. Mods are installed by placing files in the Mods/ folder in your server root directory.

Installing Mods

1. Download the mod (usually a folder containing an XML or DLL file)
2. In your game panel, go to the Files tab
3. Navigate to the Mods/ folder (create it if it does not exist)
4. Upload the mod folder into Mods/
5. Restart your server

Overhaul Mods

Large overhaul mods (like Darkness Falls or Undead Legacy) require both the server and all clients to have the mod installed. These mods significantly change the game and have their own installation instructions — follow the mod author guides carefully.

EAC and Mods

Some mods require Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) to be disabled. Set EACEnabled=false in serverconfig.xml. Players must also launch the game without EAC to connect to servers with EAC disabled.

Troubleshooting

• Server won't start after adding mods — Remove the most recently added mod and check the console for errors
• Mods not working — Verify the mod folder structure is correct. The mod must be a subfolder inside Mods/ containing a ModInfo.xml file
• Players cannot connect after adding mods — If the mod requires client installation, all players must have it. If EAC was disabled, players must launch without EAC
