So the vanilla apocalypse is getting boring and you want to spice things up, or the apocalypse isn't meeting your standards, so your turn to mods. But how do you install them? Follow these simple steps:
Log into your and select your 7 Days to Die server.
Go to the Console tab under the System menu and click "Stop".
Power off your server, this is crucial when editing file contents so that nothing is damaged, goes missing, or overlaps and glitches. Also, so that when you start your server backup afterwards your changes are immediately applied.
Go to and locate a mod that you would like, that is supported on the version of 7D2D that you are playing, and download it.
Once downloaded, extract the .zip or .rar file to a folder
Log in to your 7 Days to Die server using an SFTP client.
The login details are provided in the System menu under SFTP Details
Once inside, right-click the server side root and select "New" then "Directory" (or folder).
Name the new Directory/Folder "Mods" (ensure the M is capitalized)
Drag and drop the folder containing the extracted mod file(s) from earlier.
The new directory should read: /Mods/[mod name]/[ModInfo.xml file]
You are free to start your server!
