Java Mods

The GitHub repository includes Java mod files that are optional and server-side only. The mod functions equivalently in-game without them, but the Java mods may be useful to server operators to address concerns about messages including invisible characters.

Warning

Java mods are likely to break between updates! If this happens, delete the .class files from where they were placed and wait for the updated files.

Functionality

The ChatMessage.class replacement cleans up the server-side chat log files by separating the chat text from the data included for mod functionality.

The GeneralChat.class replacement is recommended for servers using the game’s Discord integration. This cleans up messages sent from the in-game /all chat to remove mod data.

Installation

Note

Clients do not need to do this. The relevant methods are called on the server.

To install:

1. Unzip the java.zip included in a release.
2. Copy the zombie folder into the game directory (the directory which contains projectzomboid.jar).
   • Note that a zombie folder will likely not already be present unless you’ve already installed Java mods.
