Dedicated Server

Set up a 7 Days to Die dedicated server with version, EAC, mod, port, and backup checks.

For server owners: check version, config, ports, EAC, mods, backups, and player rules before changing files or advertising the server.

Hosting Path

Set up the server in a safe order.

Version, serverconfig, ports, EAC, mods, backups, and player rules affect one another. Change one thing at a time.

Match client, server, branch, and mod pack versions before inviting players.

Version

Review server name, password, player cap, world settings, EAC, region, and save paths.

serverconfig

Document ports, firewall, LAN/WAN expectations, listing delay, and host status checks.

Ports

Tell players about mods, EAC, whitelist, language, PvP rules, resets, and backup policy.
