Darkness Falls
Darkness Falls Mod Server Hosting
Darkness Falls is KhaineGB's long-running 7 Days To Die overhaul focused on slower progression, dangerous nights, class-based starts, demons, late-game tech, and a much harsher survival curve than vanilla. It remains one of the most recognizable 7D2D overhauls because it changes almost every system without losing the underlying sandbox feel.
Why host Darkness Falls with us
- Supported build: we keep our managed install aligned to Darkness Falls V6 Stable 1.4, not a random community mirror.
- Easy recovery: snapshots run before major changes so a bad update or broken modlet does not force a wipe.
- Correct folder layout: we already know the difference between the mod files, client-side requirements, and the common “partial upload” mistakes.
- FTP + panel access: use the installer, the file manager, or FTP on port 2121 when you need manual control.
- Right-sized plans: Darkness Falls works from Plan M upward, with L/XL better for larger groups, bigger maps, and heavier world progression.
What Darkness Falls changes
-
Eight starting classes with long quest chains and more deliberate early progression.
-
Demons, succubi, behemoths, and other high-pressure endgame threats.
-
Titanium, coil weapons, advanced crafting chains, farming, and multiple workstation paths.
-
Larger backpack/UI changes and a noticeably tougher survival economy.
-
Premade maps and PEP-style starts that many players use instead of plain vanilla RWG.
Supported Darkness Falls build
For our managed hosting flow, the supported Darkness Falls line is V6 Stable 1.4. The official Darkness Falls mod page also describes the current stable line as V6.0.0 Stable for the modern 1.x branch, alongside premade map options and manual install guidance.

Quick FAQ
Do players need Darkness Falls installed locally?
Yes. Darkness Falls is not server-only. Every client should run the same DF build as the server.
Which plan should I choose?
Plan M is enough for smaller co-op groups. Choose L or XL for bigger maps, more players, or heavier progression once the save grows.
Can I use extra modlets with Darkness Falls?
Yes, but only carefully. DF already replaces a lot of progression, UI, loot, and entity behavior, so conflicts are common.
