The rules
- At most 8 players.
- A world size of at most 8192.
- No mods: the server must be vanilla.
- EAC (Easy Anti-Cheat) always on.
- The stable build only, never experimental.
- Listed publicly, so consoles can find it.
These are The Fun Pimps' rules, not a host's. No host can sell a crossplay server with more than 8 players, or with mods, and still have consoles see it.
What they rule out
- More than 8 players in one crossplay world.
- Mods and overhauls, including big ones such as Darkness Falls or Undead Legacy.
- The experimental build.
- A world larger than 8192.
- A private, unlisted server for consoles.
If your group is all on PC, none of this applies: a PC server can have more players, run mods and choose the experimental build.
The Crossplay plan on Flux
Crossplay 8GB, $5.99 a month with 3 vCores, 8 GB of RAM and 40 GB of storage, is set up to these rules: up to 8 players, vanilla only, EAC always on, the stable build only, and listed publicly so console players can find it. A crossplay server never loads mods.
You still choose the rest in Server Settings: the server name, a password, the difficulty, day length, blood moon, loot and more.
Joining it
PC players can connect with the address and port 26900 from the dashboard. Console players find the server in the game's public list, which is why the rules require it to be listed.
Frequently asked questions
Can PS5 and Xbox players join a 7 Days to Die dedicated server?
Yes, a server that follows The Fun Pimps' crossplay rules: at most 8 players, world size up to 8192, no mods, EAC on, the stable build, and listed publicly.
Can I run mods on a crossplay server?
No. Console crossplay requires a vanilla server; with mods, consoles stop seeing it. Mods need a PC-only server, such as the PC 12GB or PC 16GB plan.
Can a crossplay server have more than 8 players?
Not and keep console players: 8 is The Fun Pimps' limit for crossplay.
Can a crossplay server run the experimental build?
No. Crossplay runs the stable build only. The PC plans can choose the latest experimental build.
