An overhaul modpack replaces the game's progression, loot, enemies or crafting wholesale, and every one of them is pinned to a specific 7 Days to Die version. That version is the first thing to check, because the current stable game is V3.2.0 (26 August 2026) and most of the big overhauls still target an older branch. Running one means pinning that branch on every client and on the server, and starting a fresh world.
| Modpack | Best for | Runs on game version |
|---|---|---|
| Darkness Falls | Combat, classes, demons and a long endgame; the most played overhaul | 1.4 (V6 build 6.0.0.20) |
| Undead Legacy | Deep crafting, inventory and vehicle systems, the best UI of the group | V2.6 b14 (build 2.7.26, updated every few days) |
| Rebirth | Slow, rewarding progression with multiclass and smarter AI | V2.6 b14 (build 2026.07.02); no V3.x build yet |
| The Wasteland | Fallout setting: Deathclaws, energy weapons, factions | 2.6 |
| Ravenhearst | Hardcore survival and long crafting chains | 1.x (installs over a 1.4 base) |
| Age of Oblivion | Huge content expansion with world bosses | Alpha 21 (legacy) |
| War3zuk AIO | Vanilla-plus with a gentle learning curve and a big weapon roster | See the guide for the current target |
Short version: if you want the classic "harder, deeper, longer" run, it is Darkness Falls or Undead Legacy, and the real difference is combat-and-classes (Darkness Falls) against crafting-and-systems (Undead Legacy). Rebirth is the pick for a slower second playthrough, The Wasteland for a change of setting. None of the four runs on V3.2 today, so check the version column before you set the server up. Packs not in the table have not stated a current game version on their page; open the guide before committing a server to one.
Overhaul packs update to new game versions on their own schedule, so supported versions vary from pack to pack. Check each pack's guide below for the 7 Days to Die version it currently targets.
