Lynda's First Modlet

A simple starting modlet for minor 7 Days to Die modifications.

Structure

example_modlet/
  ModInfo.xml
  Config/
    example_modlet.xml

How It Works

This modlet uses XPath to modify game settings. The example changes:

• Player max health: 200
• Player starting health: 200

Testing

1. Copy the entire example_modlet folder to:

   C:\Steam\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die\Mods\example_modlet
   

2. Launch 7 Days to Die and start a new game.

3. Verify the changes take effect (player should have 200 health instead of 100).

Making Your Own Changes

Edit Config/example_modlet.xml to change different settings. Common XPath targets:

• /player/@maxHealth - player max health
• /player/@health - player starting health
• /zombie/@health - zombie health
• /loot/@quantity - loot quantities

Notes

• Keep changes small and test one thing at a time.
• If something breaks, delete the modlet folder from C:\Steam\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die\Mods\ to revert.
• For more complex mods, consider using the mod launcher's C:\7D2D\v3\ structure instead.
