What Is This MOD?
TO’s Server Side Modlet Pack appears to be a collection of several small-scale MODs (modlets) that the author, TroubledOffspring, built up over time to play with friends, now released as a single pack. According to the description, it targets 7 Days to Die version 3.0 and later, and everything runs server-side. In other words, it’s the type of MOD that only needs to be installed on the server—individual participating players generally don’t need to install anything on their clients—which makes for a setup that’s easy for multiplayer admins to handle.
Note that the current version is listed as 0.7, so it seems to still be a work in progress. It’s worth keeping in mind that the contents may be added to or adjusted from time to time.
Main Features
As far as can be gathered from the description, the following elements appear to be included.
- Addition of custom weapons, zombies, and items
- Actual darkness: an adjustment that seems to make nights darker and the environment more tense
- Over-the-top items: playful effect items, such as a “potion that makes a storm go away” when you drink it
- Nomad mode: a system that encourages a keep-moving playstyle with no fixed base, allowing one quest per POI
- Multiplayer sleep MOD: an adjustment that seems to support multiple people sleeping at once
- Tiered wandering hordes / Blood Moon: hordes with difficulty and scale broken into tiers
In addition to these, it reportedly includes several minor QoL (quality-of-life) improvements.
Installation Tips
Since this is a server-side MOD, the general flow is likely to place the modlets in the server’s Mods folder and restart the server. Because it’s a collection of multiple modlets, it may be structured so you can choose whether to install all of them or just some, so it’s a good idea to check the layout of the bundled files before installing. Given that it’s a work-in-progress MOD at version 0.7, and that interference with other MODs is also possible, we recommend that you first make a backup and verify it works on a test server before putting it into your live environment.
Who Is This For?
- Server admins who want to keep a near-vanilla feel while adding small changes little by little
- Players who want to add more survival challenge through darker nights and tiered hordes
- Groups of friends who want to try a different way to play, such as nomad play
- Communities that welcome playful little touches like a “potion that makes storms vanish”
Conversely, for those seeking a large-scale overhaul with a unified world theme, the direction may be different. Treating it as a casual collection of small extras seems to be the way to enjoy this pack that best suits it.
