⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in February 2023 — may not work with newer game versions beyond 1.9.*
  • Only affects entity objects, not all shadow sources, so performance gains might be limited
  • No detailed documentation on exactly which objects are affected or how much performance improves

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure your game version is 1.9.* or earlier, as the mod hasn't been updated for newer versions.
  • Place the entire EntityObjectsNoShadowCast folder into the MODS folder in your 7 Days to Die directory.
  • If you use other mods that edit the same XML files (like Lights.xml), check for conflicts — this mod won't work with them.
