How to Change Your Windrose Server Name
Change your Windrose server name and invite code in ServerDescription.json.
Your Windrose server has two identifying fields in ServerDescription.json: the InviteCode (what players type to join) and the Note (a description that appears alongside the invite code).
Change the Server Name / Note
Stop your server from the Dashboard.
In the panel sidebar, click File Manager.
Navigate to R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/ and open ServerDescription.json.
Edit the Note field to set your server's display name or description:
"Note": "My Pirate Crew Server"Click Save Content and start your server.
Change the Invite Code
The invite code is what players enter to join. You can set a custom one:
Stop your server.
Open R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/ServerDescription.json in the File Manager.
Edit the InviteCode field:
"InviteCode": "mycrew"Rules: Minimum 6 characters. Allowed characters: 0-9, a-z, A-Z. Case-sensitive.
Save and restart. Share the new code with your crew.
⚠️ If you change the invite code, make sure to update it for anyone who already has the old code saved.
What PersistentServerId Is
The PersistentServerId field is a unique identifier auto-generated by the server. Do not edit this field — it links your server to its world data. Changing it can cause the server to lose its world.
