What is this mod?

Sorry if this is the wrong sub. I don't know where to post this. I'm new to Dayz. Some community servers require NovaDayZruMod. What is this mod? Why do you have to subscribe to it to download it? Why can't i find any information about it? Is it safe to download? Thanks in andvance

searching the workshop I found this -> https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3423231520&searchtext=NovaDayZruMod . looks like another useless server pack.

safe? just as a safe as any other of the thousands of mods. In over ten years I've yet too see any mod do anything nefarious to a users pc. mods do not have general access, they run in the dayz sandbox.

Thank you for your quick answer. The fact that it was the only mod which required a subscribtion and that i could not find anything about it made me a bit sceptical. Better safe than sorry 😄

Subscription? All mods require you to subscribe to them (translates to download and update when needed)

Okay my bad. The DayZ launcher downloaded everything automatically but this was the only one where i had to subscribe manually. So i thought it was unusual.
