⚙️ What Is VPPAdminTools?

VPPAdminTools (VanillaPlusPlus Admin Tools) is a powerful Steam Workshop mod that gives you a graphical admin interface inside DayZ.
It’s designed for server owners and moderators who want to:

  • Manage players (kick, ban, heal, teleport)
  • Spawn items, vehicles, and structures
  • Edit the map and build bases dynamically
  • Control the weather, time, and server messages
  • Use a clean and intuitive UI instead of console commands

It’s widely used across the DayZ community for both PvE and PvP servers because of its reliability and simplicity.


🧩 Before You Begin

🚀 Step-by-Step Installation via GGServers Panel

Follow these easy steps to install VPPAdminTools using the Workshop Installer:

1. Log In to Your Game Panel

Go to panel.ggservers.com and select your DayZ server.


2. Open the Workshop Installer

In the left-hand sidebar, click Workshop Installer under the Management section.
This tool allows you to install Steam Workshop mods directly without needing manual uploads.


3. Search for “VPPAdmin Tools”

In the search box, type:

VPPAdmin Tools

You should see the VPPAdminTools mod appear with its red and black VanillaPlusPlus logo.


4. Click Install

Click the green Install button or download icon (⬇️).
GGServers will automatically download and install the mod to your server folder.

⚠️ Important: Also install the Community Framework (CF) mod the same way — it’s required for VPPAdminTools to function properly.


5. Restart Your Server

After installation, click Restart on your panel to apply the mod.


6. Check the Mod Load Order

Go to Startup Settings → scroll to Additional Mods, and ensure it looks like this:

@CF;@VPPAdminTools

Save changes and restart.


7. Configure Your Admin Access

When the server starts successfully, the mod will automatically create configuration folders inside your server profile.

  1. Go to Management → Files.
  2. Navigate to: /profiles/VPPAdminTools/Permissions/
  3. Edit the file named SuperAdmins.txt.
  4. Add your Steam64ID on a new line — this grants you full admin access.
    Example: 76561198000000000
  5. Save the file and restart your server.

8. In-Game Login and Controls

  1. Join your server using your Steam account.
  2. Press END to enable admin mode.
  3. Press HOME to open the VPPAdminTools main menu.
  4. Enter your admin password if prompted.
  5. You now have full GUI-based control — spawn items, teleport, heal, moderate, or even build structures instantly!
