Darkness Falls is one of the most popular 7 Days to Die modpacks. It adds lots of additional content to the game and is a long-time favourite in the community.
Before installing the modpack, please ensure that you have removed any other mods that you’ve installed on your server and your computer. Darkness Falls is often incompatible with other mods, causing issues if not removed.
Installing the Modpack

- Download the latest version of Darkness Falls here.
- Extract the downloaded zip file on your PC.
- Open the
Mods
folder within the extracted folder. - Using an FTP software, drag all the files within the extracted

folder to your server’s/Mods
folder (if this folder doesn’t exist, create it).
How to Choose a Map Size
Different Darkness Falls maps require different amounts of RAM to run smoothly. You must choose an appropriate map size for your server plan to get the best experience out of the modpack.
