In this article, we will explain how to install mods on your DayZ server.
We will use the following mods as examples:
Tip: We recommend using an FTP program like Filezilla.
First, you need to subscribe to the desired mods on Steam.
To do this, go to the page of the mod you want to use and click on Subscribe.
Once you have subscribed to all the desired mods, start your game to download them.
You will find your mods in the following directory:..\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\221100\
You can find this directory on the same hard drive where you have DayZ installed.
The name of the folder is the WorkshopID of the respective mod.
For Community Framework, the WorkshopID is 1559212036
.
Before you can upload your mods, you need to rename the folders.
It is recommended to create a new folder and first copy the desired mods into it.
Name this folder something like My DayZ Server or similar.
Then, create a folder named keys
(case-sensitive) inside the newly created folder.
You can copy the key files of the respective mods into this folder and upload them later.
Next, copy the downloaded mods into this folder and rename them.

Tip: The actual name is freely selectable, but it must start with the “@” symbol.
Now copy the key files (.bikey) that you can find in the keys folder of each mod into the keys
folder you created earlier.
Tip: Some mods share the same key file, so if you are asked if you want to overwrite a file, you can safely do so.

.After uploading, your mods are ready, but the Trader mod has a special feature.
In the folder of this mod, there is a folder called ServerProfileFolder

folder to the following directory:/ConfigID/profile
Therefore, please always read the installation instructions of each mod carefully.
Some mods, like the Trader mod, have files or folders that need to be uploaded to the Saves FTP in the profile
folder.
The mods are uploaded, but in order for the server to start with them, they need to be registered in our web interface.
In Basic Mode, you enter the mods under Mods (Manual installation via FTP).
In our example, it would look like this: @CF;@Trader;@UnlimitedStamina@;@Zomberry;
.
Important: Pay attention to uppercase and lowercase letters.
You must also enter the name of the renamed folder.
For example, if your folder is named @MyMod
, you must enter @MyMod;
.
Once you have entered your mods, click Save and start your server.
In Advanced Mode, you enter the mods under Commandline in the field Mods (Manual installation via FTP).
In our example, it would look like this: @CF;@Trader;@UnlimitedStamina@;@Zomberry;
.
Important: Pay attention to uppercase and lowercase letters.
You must also enter the name of the renamed folder.
For example, if your folder is named @MyMod
, you must enter @MyMod;
.
Once you have entered your mods, click Save and start your server.
