Installing mods

You install mods on a 7 Days To Die server by uploading them to a Mods folder in the server's files. There is no mod installer in the dashboard for this game.

Download the mods​

  1. Find the mods you want on a mod site. Two well-known ones are 7daystodiemods and NexusMods.
  2. Download each mod to your computer and keep the archives somewhere easy to find.

Upload the mods to your server​

  1. Open the Fragnet dashboard, go to My servers and select your 7 Days To Die server.
  2. Open the Files tab. You start in the server's root folder.
  3. If there is no Mods folder yet, select New folder, enter Mods as the Name and select Create. The name must be exactly Mods, with a capital M.
  4. Open the Mods folder and select Upload, or drag the mod archives onto the file list (see Upload files). Uploads over 100 MB should go through SFTP.
  5. For each archive, open its ⋯ menu and select Extract.
  6. Check the result: each mod needs its own folder directly inside Mods, with a ModInfo.xml file in it, for example Mods/ModName/ModInfo.xml.
  7. Delete the archives you extracted: open the ⋯ menu and select Delete.
  8. Restart the server: open ⋯ More actions at the top of the page and select Restart.
Extra folder level

If extracting creates an extra folder, such as Mods/ModName/ModName/ModInfo.xml, the game won't load the mod. The dashboard can't move files between folders, so fix the folder structure on your computer and upload the mod again, or move the folder with an SFTP client. See Moving files between folders.
