Joke Mod

7 days to die joke mod, 7 days to die overhaul mods

Welcome to Joke Mod!

THIS IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS!

Version 3.1.1 – Updated and Working for A21.2 B30 Only

This mod is about 85% a joke, 10% serious, 5% butterscotch ripple. It has been an idea for years and is finally a realization. It literally started as a joke and grew from there. The mod has been made so that players can have a serious playthrough and not just log in for 5 minutes, have some laughs, and never play it again. Although some people might still do that. Rude!

This mod was thought up/created by RizzoMF and Zilox with consultation from Khaine and killerbunny264. Thanks also to our testers RedDaBoo, Dobbers, Jbirdgaming_, hijarl, darkness_from_above, Ecktos, peachykeen80, Yubinashi, Extruda, Celebanto, RoyalEagle_Kingdom, and Rowen_Blackwing_Gaming. Also, a big thank you to my community for the ideas and support!

Community members from whom ideas were stolen, er used: turbodiarrhea_, killerbunny264, Hehahigh, drbananastbagsyou, Hijarl, CloudZayne, xpenguin84x, Dobbers, and anyone else we may have missed.

  1. Install the mod yesterday thru mod launcher. Played a 1 hr, everything was great. Paused the game for about 20 mins.
    Came back and the color is gone! Game is in black and white.
    Logged out. Logged in. Still no color.
    Logged out of mod launcher, logged back in, still only black and white.
    Any ideas?

  2. Seeing comments about missing traders and such. Make sure you are playing on the most current version of vanilla which is 21.1. You can join the Discord to always know what version of the mod and vanilla to use.

  3. Hi, I keep getting this error message on different maps:
    ERR Loading prefabs xml file for level ‘jokezgane_V3’: method not found.
    How can I fix this?
    Thanks

  4. mod is amazing same way as older versions but so far i finde only one isue that in some cases makes me struggle with my base designs and just general gameplay iam not sure its game it self or mod but it feels like character hit box is out of place lets say when you going up stairs that is only 1 block wide you cant realy move that much around stairs and it just forces character to the right side of the path and you cant get closer to the wall + as well it looks that you are way higer than you should be lets say normal door way is 2 blocks tall and it looks like that you are cliping into 3rd block but not including that mod is amazing

  5. Downloaded this ..should it take long to load ? Been waiting 15 mins for the game to load . Using the joke map .

  6. Is it the feature of the mod to remove traders or are traders not spawning on the map because of bug? The supposed locations of traders are all just empty patches of land now on both joke map and pregen maps as well.

  7. I just wanted to say how much I am enjoying this mod. I may only have a couple thosand hours in vanilla, over 1200 hours in Darkness Falls and now just 200 hours in this but it has become my favorite mod. Well done with the laughs and craziness but I love how hard this can be at times. So many cool things that show up but I have to love the Macy Day Parade creature, The floating clowns. I love shooting them out of the sky with my camo sniper rifle. Oh god I laugh way to hard everytime they hit the ground with a big thud. Just call me the clown killer. LOL.

  8. DE: Mit diesem Mod ist das Leben in der Apocalypse ein bisschen leichter, der Juke Mod ist sehr gut gelungen 🙂

    EN: With this mod life in the apocalypse is a bit easier, the juke mod is very well done 🙂

  9. Love the mod! The tweaks to the game progression are some of the best I’ve seen so far. The bloodmoons in this mod are very hard, and the uncertainty of finding key recipes really changes the game. Like they said, it’s not for everyone, and if you take this mod lightly then the joke is on you.

    Wishlist for Rizco: What if we had a lance mod for bikes that let us go jousting?
