Details

SM7 Better Blocks affects a specific part of 7 Days to Die. Check the changed system, then test a copy before changing a main save or server.

UI files often feel low-risk in solo play, but server rules, EAC policy, localization, and other HUD packages can still conflict.

Crafting route

SM7 Better Blocks is mainly worth checking through recipe unlocks and required books, workstation chain and production steps, resource cost and output timing, block placement, pickup, upgrade, and repair, traps, power, doors, and devices, and base persistence and multiplayer permissions. Do that in a copied save or test server before changing a main world.

Use 7 Days to Die Mods listing for exact file names, branches, screenshots, and update notes, then confirm the in-game behavior listed above still works after a restart.

  • Check which recipes are learned by perk, schematic, magazine, workstation, or quest reward.
  • Follow the path from raw material to finished item instead of testing one recipe only.
  • Compare material cost, crafting time, output count, and station lock against your save stage.
  • Place the blocks in a copied base, upgrade them, damage them, repair them, and restart.

Screens affected

SM7 Better Blocks shows up on the screens players open every day: inventory, crafting, map, trader, quest, container, vehicle, and settings.

  • A clean launch alone is not enough.
  • Use the resolution and language your players actually use.

Conflict check

UI and HUD packages often conflict with other UI replacements, backpack changes, localization, or server rules.

  • Add UI packages one by one.
  • Check overlap, missing buttons, unreadable panels, and broken item views.

Before installing

Three checks before this MOD goes near a save: the game branch, the install side, and a test copy.

  1. Check the branchCompare V3 Mods; MOD v1.2.3.0 with the source page before installing.
  2. Check the install sideThis entry records the install side as Server-side only. Confirm which sides need matching files before you install.
  3. Test the changed contentCheck recipe unlocks and required books, workstation chain and production steps, resource cost and output timing, and block placement, pickup, upgrade, and repair, then save, restart, and reconnect if the MOD is used on a server.
  4. Test a copyUse a copied world or staging server before regular players join.

Notes before use

Stop here if the source route, branch, or install side does not match your setup.

  • A successful launch proves only that the game starts, not that every screen works.
  • Public servers should state whether client UI files are allowed.
