How To Install Mods On Your Project Zomboid Server

This guide covers how to install mods on your Project Zomboid server. If you're looking to further customize your server outside of basic gameplay settings, modding is a fantastic way to do so.

Getting Mod And Steam Workshop IDs

You will need to know how to get a Workshop ID and Mod ID for each mod you want to install. You can view all the Project Zomboid mods here.

Once you find the mod you want, you need to note the following. Let's use this mod for example.

As you can see from the details at the bottom of the Steam Workshop page, this mod's Workshop ID is 3378304610 with its Mod ID being RepairableWindows.

Installing Mods

1. Access the GhostCap Panel and Stop your server.
2. In the sidebar, go to File Manager.
3. Navigate to and open .cache/Server/pzserver.ini.
4. Add the Workshop ID to WorkshopItems.
5. Add the Mod ID to Mods.
6. Once finished, click Save and Start your server.

Here's an example using the mods RepairableWindows and Water Goes Bad:

WorkshopItems=3378304610;2849467715

Mods=RepairableWindows;WaterGoesBad

B42 Multiplayer Modding
