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. Here’s how to install mods on your Project Zomboid Server.

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: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3378304610

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

Installing Mods

1. Access the Game Host Bros Game Panel and stop your server.
2. In the sidebar go to Management > 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 these mods RepairableWindows and Water Goes Bad.

WorkshopItems=3378304610;2849467715

Mods=RepairableWindows;WaterGoesBad

Tip

To install multiple mods you must separate each Mod Workshop ID and Mod ID listing with a semicolon, for example RepairableWindows;WaterGoesBad as seen above.
