How to Install a Custom Map on Your DayZ Server

4. Add the Custom Map

Enter the map using Workshop IDs in the ‘ADDITIONAL MODS’ field using the following format:

@workshopID

You can find the ID at the end of the Steam Workshop mod URL.
Example: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1559212036

5. Start the Server Once (Required)

Start the server once after adding the map mod.

This allows DayZ to:

• Download the map files
• Create the mission folder automatically

After the server finishes starting, stop it again before continuing.
