Community Maps - custom terrains, made by various authors for the DayZ that are available as mods through Steam Workshop. Some authors may host their own official server for their map project - but do not confuse them with Public servers. Custom maps are playable only on Private servers and they are not supported by the Bohemia Interactive, so they do not represent the original gameplay and content quality. Additionally, they also often include custom assets or gameplay mechanics together with the map files.
