Password Protect Your 7 Days to Die Server

A server password restricts who can join. Only players who know the password can connect.

Setting a Password

Via Startup Tab

1. Log in to the XGamingServer Panel
2. Click Startup in the sidebar
3. Find the Server Password field
4. Enter your desired password
5. Restart your server

Via serverconfig.xml

1. Click Files in the sidebar
2. Open serverconfig.xml
3. Set the ServerPassword property:

<property name="ServerPassword" value="YourPasswordHere" />

4. Save and restart

Removing the Password

Set the value to an empty string to make the server public:

<property name="ServerPassword" value="" />

Login Confirmation Message

You can also show a welcome/rules message that players must accept before joining:

<property name="ServerLoginConfirmationText" value="Welcome! Rules: No griefing, be respectful." />

Players see this message and must click to confirm before fully connecting. Leave blank to disable.

📝 Note: The password is stored in plain text in serverconfig.xml. Avoid sharing this file publicly.
