Conclusion

With that, you now know how to change a 7 Days to Die server name and where it is viewable in-game.

Regardless of the uses for it, the name can be adjusted as often as you would like, meaning you can change it to suit whichever need you have at the time. With this newfound information, you can now find your server and conquer the zombie-infested world of 7 Days to Die!
 

Common Issues

The name does not change in-game:
When this occurs, it can often be caused by the server not restarting properly. Ensure that the server was offline before making any changes, then fully restart afterwards for these changes to take effect. You can confirm the server has restarted by checking the Console tab during the startup process. If issues are still occurring, try to restart 7 Days to Die to ensure the server list is refreshed.

My server can’t be found in the server browser:
This is often an issue if the server is not set to appear in a public environment. To fix this, return to the Apex Panel and visit the Customizations tab. Under Server Visibility, make sure the server is set to appear in the Public list. Once this is done, restart the server and check the game once more.
