How To Change Your Eco Server Name
Learn how to change the name displayed in the server browser for your Eco dedicated server by editing the Network.eco config file.
The server name is what players see when browsing for Eco servers in the multiplayer menu. A clear, descriptive name helps players find your server and sets expectations about your community. The name is controlled by the Name field in the Network.eco configuration file.
Changing Your Server Name
Open the XGamingServer panel
Log in to the XGamingServer Panel and select your Eco server. Stop the server before making changes.
Navigate to the config file
Click Files in the sidebar, then open the Configs folder. Open the file called Network.eco.
Edit the server name
Find the Name field near the top of the file and change its value to your desired server name:
"Name": "My Eco Server"Replace My Eco Server with whatever you want your server to be called.
Save and restart
Click Save in the file editor, then start your server. The new name will appear in the server browser once the server finishes loading.
Server Description
While you have Network.eco open, you can also set a description that players see when they select your server in the browser. Find the Description field and enter a short summary:
"Description": "Friendly community server | No griefing | Active admins"Server Naming Tips
A well-chosen server name helps attract the right players:
- Include your region — Players look for low-ping servers, so
[US East]or[EU]helps them decide - Mention your playstyle — Terms like
Casual,Hardcore, orNo Griefingset expectations - Add your community name — If you have a group, include it for brand recognition
- Keep it readable — Avoid excessive symbols or ALL CAPS
Example names:
[US East] Green Planet | Casual | No Griefing[EU] Eco Builders United | Active Admins[AU] Meteor Rush | Hardcore | 30 Day Meteor
Public vs. Private Visibility
Your server name only matters in the browser if your server is set to public. In Network.eco, the PublicServer field controls whether your server appears in the server browser:
"PublicServer": trueSet this to false if you want a private server that players can only join via direct connect. You can also restrict access further by setting a password.
💡 Tip: Your server name is purely cosmetic — changing it does not affect your world, player data, or any other settings. You can change it as often as you like without any impact on gameplay.
