Install steps

  1. Download serverpack.json to keep a portable copy of the preset.
  2. Copy the serverconfig.xml values into your 7 Days to Die serverconfig.xml.
  3. Change ServerPassword, GameName, and GameWorld if you are using a generated world.
  4. Restart the server, join once as an admin, and confirm the day length, difficulty, and player cap.

Notes

  • ServerVisibility=1 keeps discovery limited while you are testing with friends.
  • DropOnDeath=0 keeps deaths forgiving for casual co-op groups.
  • Use a generated world by replacing GameWorld with the generated world folder name.
