Installing Darkness Falls on 7 Days to Die

Important: You need to download and install the server version of this mod!
You can find the server files on Azure or Nexusmods.

Complete the creation, but do not start the server yet!

Upload the Mod

1. Download the mod and extract it.
2. Stop your server. The server status should be Server not running.
3. Connect to your FTP program using the Upload FTP.
   You can find the login data in the FTP overview when you click on FTP.
4. Upload the Mods folder to the following folder on the FTP:
   /ConfigID/
   Note: You can find the ConfigID or Configuration ID for your server on our page under Game Servers.
   If your ConfigID is, for example, 123456, it would look like this: /123456/.
5. The mod contains a serverconfig.xml. Do not upload this!
   If you want to customize it, you can do so in Advanced Mode.
6. Important: Darkness Falls comes with its own maps.

   How you can change the map is described here: change map for 7 Days to Die
