Newb to modding

[juda222000]

Hey all, I have been a long time player of 7 days. Have over 3k hours and played many mods mods (most of them in the 7 days launcher). There is so much I like about each mod, that I would like to create my own. I have a couple of questions. You all have inspired me to kick my love of the game to the next level.

1. How does one get into mod creating?

2. I would also like to know how do you get permission to use other modders mods. I see a lot of the mods get permission from modders to use their stuff. Is there a particular way to do it or is it just message them and ask them?

3. When done, how do I get my mod in the 7 days to die launcher? or do I even need to?

4. I have no coding background, but Is there recommended things I need to learn to be able to do this? I have a lot of time on my hands coming up soon, so looking to do this to fill up that time. I'm a 7 days fanatic.

5. How do I get it so people can get my mod on servers so they can play it with their friends.

6. What else do I need to know?

1. Start with basics  ....lots of help here in this thread ,  Start with basic Xpath modding like changing recipes and item counts .

2. Just message them and get permissions

3.Optional but would need a Github or Gitlab repository.

4. See 1

5. Supply a link for a download file containing your mod

6. Its a long road but can be both satisfying and frustrating lol ....but worth the toils.  Learning Unity and Blender in the future can be beneficial.

 

If you do the basics then when you have an idea on the type of mod you want in game then go for it.    Theres plenty of help here in the forums and the modding discord
