How to install "Project Zomboid"

Install Project Zomboid in GDLauncher

Project Zomboid runs on Forge. Pick whichever your existing instance uses, or create a new one. GDLauncher installs the correct loader automatically.

2. Pick the Forge loader and a Minecraft version that Project Zomboid supports (1.19.2 are common choices).
3. Open the new instance, go to the Addons tab, and click Add Addons.
4. Paste the Quick Install ID #project-zomboid, find Project Zomboid in the results, and hit Download. GDLauncher pulls dependencies automatically.

Before you install

Make sure your Minecraft version matches what Project Zomboid supports. As of the latest release, 1.19.2 are supported. Project Zomboid only runs on Forge; mods built for other loaders won't work. GDLauncher checks compatibility for you and won't install something incompatible with the instance you've chosen.
