ServerCore is a server-side mod for 7 Days to Die dedicated servers. It adds about 100 admin console commands, advanced land claims, region resets, chat control, teleports, vehicle recall and more.

ServerCore is the continuation of PrismaCore, the mod Prisma501 built and maintained for over ten years. It started as CPM, later became the CSMM Patrons Mod, and then PrismaCore. Prisma retired from 7D2D modding in September 2026 and handed the mod over to the community. It's now open source under the MIT licence.
ServerCore 3.1.0 is PrismaCore 2.5 as open source, updated for game version 3.3.0 b18. It adds VIP ModGuard and otherwise works like PrismaCore 2.5.
The Takaro team maintains ServerCore, but it's a community project first. Everything happens in the open: the code, the issues, the roadmap and the release process. Anyone can open an issue, propose a feature or send a pull request, and we want regular contributors to become maintainers.
ServerCore doesn't depend on Takaro. It works the same with Takaro, CSMM, any other server manager or plain console commands.
PrismaCore was closed source for its whole life. We think a mod this many servers depend on should be open, so that anyone can see how it works, fix it and keep it alive.
ServerCore 3.1.0 is a drop-in replacement for PrismaCore 2.5. Console commands (including the pc- forms), command output, log lines and data files like PrismaCoreSettings.xml work as before, so your settings, claims and server manager integrations carry over. See the compatibility page for details.

- Stop your server.
- If you run PrismaCore, remove
Mods/PrismaCore. Don't run both mods at the same time: they register the same commands. - Download the latest
ServerCore-<version>.zipfrom Releases. - Extract it so you have
Mods/ServerCore/in your server's install directory. - Start the server.
Moving from PrismaCore? See the migration guide.
To try unreleased changes, download the latest build of a branch. Each is replaced on every push, so don't run them in production:
main(stable game version): ServerCore-rolling-stable.zipexperimental(experimental game version): ServerCore-rolling-experimental.zip
Each pull request also gets a build, linked in a comment on the PR.
A short overview. Run pc-help in the server console for the full command list.
