TechFreq's Despawn Zombies Mod is designed to optimize game performance by reducing the time zombie corpses remain in the world. This helps prevent unnecessary performance drops caused by excessive corpse data, improving overall stability and FPS.

This is as lightweight XML mod, that can have some performance enhancement for 7 Days to Die by
reducing the time it takes for zombie or animal corpses to persist in the game world, ensuring a smoother experience by preventing unnecessary build-up of entity data.

Latest Changelog:
V1.1
- Updated for experimental v2.0(b285)
- Updated Readme & Fixed Folder label

Key Features:
✅ Faster Zombie Despawn: All zombies now disappear within 5 seconds after death instead of lingering for extended periods like 30 seconds.
✅ Improved Performance: Reducing corpse duration helps prevent excessive memory usage and performance lag i'd assume
✅ Animals & Player corpses remain for loot/hunting (300-second despawn timer).
✅ Lightweight & Server-Friendly (No major gameplay changes).
✅ Affects radiated zombies aswell.

THIS IS CLIENT SIDE ONLY but maybe perhaps this is also, server side and client side compatibility?
No further setup needed. Enjoy!
TESTING CONFIRMED:
