Introduction

Mods allow you to customize your Project Zomboid game server even further. Below, you'll learn where to find the most popular server mods and how to set them up.

Preparation

Through the Steam Workshop, you can install mods on your server. The Steam Workshop is perfect for discovering and managing new and exciting mods. First, browse the Steam Workshop for mods that interest you. When you find a mod you like, be sure to note its Workshop ID. You can find the ID in the URL. This Workshop ID is needed for the upcoming installation.

Installation

The next step is installing the mods. Thanks to the Steam Workshop feature, installation is very easy. Go to your game server management and open the Workshop tab. There you can enter the mods into the designated field. Input the previously noted Workshop IDs and add them there. If you want to add multiple mods, make sure to separate the IDs with commas.
