7 Days to Die modded hosting — overhauls / Darkness Falls / Undead Legacy for a friends squad (2026)
This page is for modded 7 Days to Die — overhaul packs, Mod Launcher / uMod tooling, and dense Mods-folder installs for a Discord squad — not a quiet vanilla Navezgane wipe for 4–8 friends. It is not the same job as Night 10 7 Days to Die (friend vanilla / light mods first), Night 79 Project Zomboid modded (Steam Workshop collections), Night 76 DayZ modded (Workshop / Expansion), or Night 78 Unturned modded (OpenMod / RocketMod). Among our six hosts (checked 24 Oct 2026, NZDT): Shockbyte, Apex, BisectHosting, Nodecraft, and GameTeam sell 7 Days to Die (product URLs returned 200). PebbleHost returned 404 on 7DTD product paths and 7DTD is absent from its /game/ catalog we read — curl HEAD 403 is not absence; we used full GET. Darkness Falls / Undead Legacy / one-click claims below come only from each host’s own 7DTD product copy or FAQ — we do not invent overhaul one-click installers.
RAM honesty: overhauls vs friend-vanilla
- Friend vanilla / light mods (Night 10 job): hosts often card around 4–6 GB for a small Discord (Shockbyte Normal 5 GB / Radiated 6 GB; Nodecraft Premium “For Small Worlds” 4 GB; Apex 2–3 GB cards labeled “basic & some modpacks”). Apex prints 2 GB “Minimum for 7 Days to Die” — treat that as a floor label, not an overhaul target.
- Overhauls / dense Mods-folder stacks (this page): treat 8–12 GB+ as the working floor when Darkness Falls, Undead Legacy, or similar packs + blood-moon density pile up. Nodecraft labels 10 GB “Best for Modded”; GameTeam FAQ 6–8 GB most groups / 12 GB+ for heavy mod sets; Shockbyte Legendary 7 GB+ is the top fixed card — customize upward if the overhaul still stutters on day 7. Do not reuse Zomboid Workshop or DayZ Expansion RAM tables — different products.
- Slots ≠ RAM: 8 / 20 / 30+ “player” marketing is a ceiling. Horde night + overhaul entity counts hurt more than the slot number on the card — pay for GB and a documented mod path.
- Client + server: overhauls usually need matching client installs; dedicated servers often load from a Mods folder (GameTeam FAQ: no Steam Workshop for the dedicated server). Host panel tooling only helps the dedicated side — confirm the overhaul’s install notes before wipe night.
Overhauls / Mod Launcher / uMod — host claims only
- Shockbyte: Product features list Full Mod Support and Full FTP Access; copy names Mod Launcher and Darkness Falls (“support popular tools like Mod Launcher and Darkness Falls”). Knowledgebase / “How To Install Mods On Your 7D2D Server” marketed. Undead Legacy is not named on the product copy we read — do not invent a UL one-click claim.
- Apex Hosting: 7DTD landing markets panel ability to “install mods”, change the map, FTP, automatic backups; plan blurbs say “Basic servers & some modpacks”. Darkness Falls / Undead Legacy / one-click overhauls are not named on the 7DTD product copy we read (TBD in panel/docs) — do not invent a DF/UL one-click claim. 2 GB labeled “Minimum for 7 Days to Die”; EX 16 GB for heavy loads / APAC Ryzen 7 5800X.
- BisectHosting: Landing claims One-Click Installation for Darkness Falls, Undead Legacy, automatic updates, built-in config editor, game swap across 110+ titles. Exact $/GB did not render as a clear plan total on the page we read (TBD at checkout); BisectOne llms.txt cites ~$2.99/GB network-wide — not a 7DTD-specific printed plan total. Clearest named DF/UL one-click story among our six.
- Nodecraft: Markets uMod pre-installed, one-click installer for the uMod (Oxide) framework, and SFTP / web file manager to “manually upload your favorite overhaul mods (like Darkness Falls)”. Premium cards include 8 GB “Best for Larger Bases” / 10 GB “Best for Modded”. Lite / Wake & Play is labeled “Not recommended for this game” — use Premium 24/7 for persistence. Undead Legacy is not named on the copy we read.
- GameTeam: FAQ: “Can I install mods when hosting 7 Days to Die? Yes.” Hard claim: loads from the Mods folder; most overhauls (Darkness Falls, Undead Legacy) ship as a folder you drop in; no Steam Workshop for the dedicated server — upload via file manager. RAM FAQ: 6–8 GB most groups / 12 GB+ heavy mod sets. No one-click overhaul installer claimed on the page we read.
- PebbleHost: 7DTD product URLs we tried returned 404; 7DTD absent from /game/ catalog (24 Oct 2026). No sellable 7DTD SKU to quote for mods or price — 404, not invented TBD pricing.
7DTD overhauls are not Minecraft “one-click modpacks” unless the host literally prints that claim (Bisect does for DF/UL). Backup first, match client + server versions, and expect Alpha/branch-specific install notes.

Oceania / AU–NZ–SG latency wedge
- Nodecraft: Sydney / Melbourne / Auckland / Singapore listed on the 7DTD page — best published Oceania/SEA story; Premium 24/7 for persistence; confirm 7DTD capacity on order.
- Shockbyte: Melbourne-based + 7DTD product page with Global Locations — still pick the node on order and ping-test with the overhaul loaded (horde-night desync hurts on long routes).
- Apex: EX Series APAC/AU Ryzen 5800X marketed — confirm Sydney (or closest) for standard tiers at checkout.
- BisectHosting: Australia exists network-wide (BisectOne / llms.txt) — stock/waitlist has appeared; treat as a checkout checkbox.
- GameTeam: Oceania for 7DTD not named on the page we read — TBD.
- PebbleHost: no 7DTD SKU — Oceania notes do not transfer.
Buy monthly through the first week with your overhaul / Mods-folder list loaded, measure everyone’s ping, then commit. See the Oceania ping guide.
Practical shortlist (not rankings)
- Want named Darkness Falls + Mod Launcher on fixed tiers: Shockbyte Radiated 6 GB ($19.99) or Legendary 7 GB+ ($24.90) — confirm AU node at checkout.
- Want AU/NZ/SG nodes + named uMod / DF SFTP path: Nodecraft Premium 8–10 GB — skip Lite / Wake & Play for 7DTD persistence.
- Named one-click Darkness Falls + Undead Legacy: BisectHosting BisectOne — only if your region is in stock; price TBD on 7DTD landing.
- Budget Mods-folder FAQ that names both DF and UL: GameTeam at 8–12 GB — ping-test if Oceania matters.
- PebbleHost: honest 404 for 7DTD today — do not force a cart.
- Quiet vanilla / light-mod friend wipe instead: see Night 10 — different job, often Shockbyte Normal 5 GB ($11.99) or Nodecraft Premium 4 GB ($19.98).
