How to Install Steam Workshop Mods on Project Zomboid

Adding mods to your Project Zomboid server is a great way to customize your survival experience. You will need to gather some IDs from the Steam Workshop and add them to your server configuration file.

Step 1: Find Workshop and Mod IDs

First, you need to find the specific IDs for the mods you want to install.

1. Go to the Steam Workshop page for the mods you want to add.
2. Write down the Workshop ID, which is a string of numbers.
3. Write down the Mod ID, which is the actual name of the mod. You can usually find this in the mod's info.txt file located at \Steam\steamapps\workshop\modID\mods\modName\info.txt.

Step 2: Locate the Configuration File

Next, we will open the file where these IDs need to be pasted.

1. Log in to your MintServers panel and go to Files in the left-side panel.
2. Navigate to the following exact path: .cache/server/mintservers.ini
3. Click on mintservers.ini to open the web editor. Please note that unlike some other hosts, MintServers uses this specific file instead of servertest.ini.

Step 3: Add the Mod IDs

Now it is time to add your mods to the configuration file.

1. Find the line that says WorkshopItems= and paste your numeric Workshop IDs there.
2. Find the line that says Mods= and paste your Mod IDs (the names) there.

If you are adding multiple mods, you must separate each ID with a semicolon (;).

Example:

WorkshopItems=2619072426;2392709985

Mods=tsarslib;commonSense

Step 4: Save and Restart

Once you have added all your mods, click Save Content in the editor. Then, head back to your Console and Restart your server so the changes take effect and the mods begin downloading.
