7 Days to Die Mods in 2026: Which Are Active, Stagnant, or Dead

Updated 16 June 2026. Few survival games have churned through as many version names as 7 Days to Die - Alpha 20, Alpha 21, the 1.0 "full release", the 2.0 to 2.6 stable line, and now V3.0 "Dead Hot Summer" in experimental. Every one of those jumps can break a mod, and big overhauls often take months to catch up - if the author is still active at all. This is a living status tracker for the major overhaul and content mods: which build is current, which game version it actually runs on, and whether the project is moving, parked, or finished.

The one rule that matters: a mod being on an "old" version is not the same as a mod being bad. Undead Legacy has been pinned to Alpha 20.7 since 2022 and is still one of the most polished overhauls ever made. What breaks your server is a version mismatch - the mod and the game have to run the same version, or the mod will not load. If you see an "incompatible version" error, that is the cause: see version mismatch errors.

Status legend

TierWhat it means for you
ActiveUpdated for the current 7DTD 2.6 line within the last few months. Safe to run on a modern server.
MaintainedA complete, playable overhaul, but built for the 1.0 release line - not yet ported to 2.x. Pin your server to the 1.0 branch to run it.
StagnantThe last real build was an Alpha-era release (A20 or A21). No recent updates; a port may or may not be coming. Needs an older game branch.
LegacyPinned to a very old Alpha and effectively superseded. Run a maintained alternative instead.

Versions verified against each mod's official source - Nexus Mods file pages, author forum threads, and public repositories - as of June 2026. Where an author ships only through a gated Discord or the 7D2D Mod Launcher, we list the most recent build we can independently confirm and flag it as such.

Active - the current 2.6 line

War3zuk AIO Overhaul is the most actively maintained large overhaul on the current line. The Nexus build tracks 7DTD v2.6 B14 and usually updates within weeks of each TFP stable patch. The same author also ships War3zuk FarmLife (v2.6 B14), which is the farming overhaul that actually runs on a modern server. War3zuk guide and hosting.

The Wasteland by bdubyah is a Fallout-inspired post-apocalyptic overhaul (not the vanilla wasteland biome). Build 2.6.3.5 shipped on 28 May 2026, and its file history - A21.2, then 1.x, then 2.4, then 2.6 - shows it has tracked every stable line in turn. It is one of the safest overhaul picks for a current server.

Izy Gun Pack (Izayo) is a 100-plus firearm add-on, currently v5.1.3 (April 2026), built for the 2.x line and designed to layer onto other overhauls rather than replace them. Izy Gun Pack guide.

Two more sit on the current line but at a slightly older point release. The Asylum horror overhaul tracks the V2.x line; the most recent build we can independently confirm is v2.4.4 (game V2.4), and a 2.6 build is referenced but unverified. Custom Avatars works on 1.0 and is used by mods tested on 2.5.2, so it lives on the current V2.x line, though the exact current version is not exposed publicly.

Maintained, but on the 1.0 line

Darkness Falls (KhaineGB) is the biggest overhaul in this group. The current release is V6 Stable, built for 7 Days to Die 1.4 - the 1.0 "V1" release line. There is no 2.x build yet, and KhaineGB has said the forward port is a long effort. It is very much alive; it simply runs on the 1.0 branch, so pin your server there. Darkness Falls guide | Darkness Falls hosting.

Ravenhearst (JaxTeller718) reached 10.4.1b1 on game 1.4 - a complete, content-dense hardcore overhaul. Active development wound down in 2025, so treat it as finished-on-the-V1-line rather than abandoned: it plays fine on the 1.0 branch, it just will not move forward to 2.x. Ravenhearst guide.

Stagnant or awaiting a port

Undead Legacy (Subquake) is the textbook case. The current stable, UL 2.6.17, is pinned to Alpha 20.7 and has been since November 2022. A next build, 2.7.01, targets game v2.4 and has been in development for a long time, but it is still listed as TBA on the official download page. To play UL today you commit to the A20.7 branch. Undead Legacy guide.

Sorcery (Devrix), the full magic-system mod, last shipped a confirmed build at A21.2 (v1.94) in 2023, and its public repository has had no code changes since 2022. There is no confirmed 1.0 or 2.x release - treat it as an A21-line overhaul unless the author announces otherwise.

Age of Oblivion is community-maintained; the most recent build we can confirm is the A21.2 line (Alpha 7.10.21.2). The author's site references a newer release, but we could not verify a shipped 2.x version from a primary source.

War of the Walkers has changed hands several times over the years; the most recent build we can verify is the A21 line (V21.x), and the original code repository has been idle since 2017. Its current 1.0 or 2.x status is unconfirmed.

Legacy and superseded

The classic Farm Life (originally by stasis, continued as FarmLifeV3 by DEMMERS) is pinned to Alpha 18.4 and predates every modern version. If you want a farming overhaul on a current server, run War3zuk FarmLife (v2.6 B14) instead - same idea, maintained for the 2.6 line. (One common mix-up: "Farm Life by Sirillion" - Sirillion is the author of the SMX UI mods, not Farm Life.)

Update timeline - last meaningful release

2026 - War3zuk AIO (v2.8), The Wasteland (2.6.3.5) and Izy Gun Pack (v5.1.3) all shipping on the 2.6 line.

2025 - Darkness Falls V6 (game 1.4) is current; Ravenhearst reached 10.4.1b1, then active development wound down.

2023 - Sorcery v1.94 (A21.2) and Age of Oblivion Alpha 7.10 (A21.2) - last confirmed builds for both.

2022 - Undead Legacy 2.6.17 (A20.7) - still the current UL stable four years on.

2017 - War of the Walkers original repository last touched; the classic Farm Life predates even that (A18 era).

2026 to 2027 roadmap - what is coming

  • Undead Legacy 2.7.01 targets game v2.4 - the long-awaited jump off A20.7. Still TBA, but it is the one stagnant mod with a confirmed forward target.
  • V3.0 "Dead Hot Summer" went experimental on 15 June 2026 and deliberately reworks mod infrastructure: Localization moves to .csv, entitygroups.xml returns to real XML, the XUi UI framework is overhauled, and 29 serverconfig.xml properties collapse into one SandboxCode value. Expect a fresh round of breakage and re-ports across every mod above. See what V3.0 breaks for modded servers.
  • The general pattern: actively-maintained mods (War3zuk, Wasteland) usually catch a new stable line within weeks; large overhauls (Darkness Falls, Undead Legacy) take months, and some Alpha-era projects never make the jump at all.

Which mod should I run on a current server?

If your server is on 2.6 (or you are testing 3.0) and you want an overhaul today, War3zuk AIO or The Wasteland are the safe picks - both are current and actively patched. If you specifically want Darkness Falls or Undead Legacy, that is fine too: you simply pin the matching game branch (1.0 for Darkness Falls, A20.7 for Undead Legacy). Managed hosting handles that for you - it installs the right build and sets the matching 7DTD branch so you never hit a version mismatch. Browse everything through the 7D2D Mod Launcher, or see Plan M for one-click modded hosting.

FAQ

Is Darkness Falls dead? No. V6 is current and maintained - it just runs on game version 1.0, not 2.x. Stay on the 1.0 branch to play it.

Does Undead Legacy work on 2.6? Not yet. The stable build is pinned to Alpha 20.7; the v2.4-targeting 2.7 build is still TBA. Run UL on the A20.7 branch.

Is Ravenhearst still being updated? The 10.4.x build on game 1.4 is complete and playable; active development wound down in 2025.

Which 7 Days to Die mods work on V3.0? V3.0 is brand-new experimental (June 2026), so expect breakage until authors re-port. The mods most likely to update quickly are the actively-maintained ones - War3zuk and Wasteland. See the V3.0 mod compatibility guide.

How we verify these versions

Every version in this tracker is checked against the mod's own primary source - its Nexus Mods file page, the author's official forum thread or Discord, or the public code repository - not against reseller blogs or our own marketing copy. When a mod ships only through a gated channel, we list the most recent build we can independently confirm and say so rather than guess. This page is reviewed as new builds land.
