7 Days to Mine

The mod recreates the 7 Days to Die setting: players survive in a world of ruins, abandoned cities and zombies, and can build bases that hold off hordes. Old technology can be used and vehicles repaired. First-person gun rendering was made to work correctly, including with the Replay Mod, and textures from several contributors were included along with Chinese and Russian localization.

Installation requires Forge for 1.12.2 and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. CraftTweaker and Just Enough Items (JEI) are optional dependencies; JEI adds recipe support for the custom stations. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the latest Forge file is 1.12.2-1.0.3.2, published 2024-06-16. Files exist only for Forge 1.12.2, and the mod was first published 2024-04-04.

Compatibility is noted as broad but not complete. Shader packs may render the mod correctly in about half of cases, and in-game CCTV cameras are a known rendering issue. Hybrid Bukkit-Forge servers such as Magma or CatServer can cause thirst and infection problems with player data. Structure generation works with most mods, and the server.properties entry SEVENDAYS selects the default 7D2M world type, while WASTELAND selects a harder one. Because world generation is heavy, pregenerating the world is suggested.
