Dead Light Z plunges players into a dark, post-apocalyptic world filled with danger and challenges. Inspired by the popular survival game “7 Days to Die,” this modpack tasks players with navigating a treacherous environment overrun by zombies after a devastating viral outbreak. Survival hinges on players’ ability to scavenge for resources, craft weapons and tools, and seek out other survivors.
In the perilous world of Dead Light Z, vigilance is key. Zombies lurk around every corner, becoming more aggressive and deadly as night falls. During a bloodmoon, players must fend off relentless swarms of undead determined to bring them down. Surviving in this harsh environment requires strategy, skill, and a bit of luck.
A standout feature of Dead Light Z is its crafting system. Players can create a wide array of weapons, tools, and other items essential for survival. The modpack introduces new materials, such as irradiated metal, which can be used to craft powerful weapons and armor. Additionally, players can build bases to protect themselves from zombie hordes.
Overall, Dead Light Z offers an intense and thrilling experience that will test players’ survival skills. For those seeking a challenging new Minecraft adventure, this modpack is a must-try.

FORGE: In regards to Forge, the most recent version for 1.18.2 should be functional. However, if it causes an older mod in the modpack to malfunction, the version that is currently included with the modpack is forge-40.1.68.jar.
OPTIFINE: If you're using Optifine to enhance your Minecraft gameplay while playing Dead Light Z, make sure to use version OptiFine HD U H9 for compatibility. You can get the required version by downloading it from this link: https://optifine.net/downloads. Once downloaded, it's important to extract the mod jar by clicking on the jar file to prevent any crashes in the pack.
OPTIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS:
I'd personally recommend adding some shaders if your system can handle them to bring out the best with this modpack and Minecraft.
