How to make your 7 Days to Die (7DTD) Server Crossplay Enabled

Xbox and PlayStation players can join a 7 Days to Die server only when crossplay is on and the server's settings are ones consoles accept. Steam players can join either way.

Turn on crossplay

1. Sign in to the control panel at panel.chicagoservers.co and open your 7 Days to Die server.
2. Click Stop at the top of the page.
3. Open the Configs tab and choose Server settings.
4. Under Crossplay, anti-cheat and Twitch: turn on Crossplay with consoles, turn on EasyAntiCheat, and turn off Ignore EOS sanctions.
5. Under Server listing, set Listed in the server browser to Public. Console players can't join by IP address: they find the server in the game's server browser.
6. Click Save, then Start the server.

Consoles only join servers with 8 players or fewer. You don't need to change anything: while crossplay is on, the panel limits your server to 8 players.

Gameplay settings consoles accept

Your gameplay rules (the SandboxCode, see How to change your 7 Days to Die server settings (difficulty, day length, blood moons, SandboxCode)) must stay within what consoles allow, or console players are refused with a message naming the setting. The limits are:

• XP: 25% to 300%
• Day length: 10 real minutes or more
• Blood moon enemy count: 4 to 64
• Air drops: every 24 in-game hours or less often, or off
• Block damage (player, zombies and blood moon zombies): 25% or more, and at most 300% for players
• Loot abundance: 200% or less
• Loot respawn: every 5 days or more, or off

The game can change these limits in an update. If a console player gets a message naming a setting, change that setting in the game's Sandbox Options and paste the new code.

Good to know

• Mods: mods that players have to install need EasyAntiCheat off, so they can't be used with crossplay. If console players can't join a server with mods, try it without them (switch them off on the Mods tab).
• Game version: console players can only join a server on the same game version as their console. Keep the server on the default (stable) branch: see the Branch button on the Steam update bar.
• Make a backup on the Backups tab before big changes.
