7 Days To Die V3.1 Sandbox Code Generator

Since 7 Days To Die V3.0 the gameplay/difficulty settings live outside serverconfig.xml, in a single opaque SandboxCode. Pick a preset and tweak any of the 165 V3.1 options to build your code, then copy it into <property name="SandboxCode" value="..."/>. You can also paste an existing code to load and edit it. Nothing is saved — this runs entirely in your browser against our generator.

Updated for V3.1 "Henpocalypse" (stable July 27, 2026). Do not re-paste a code you built on V3.0. V3.1 removed three spawn options and reused their slots for the new day/night variants, so an old code still loads without an error and quietly applies a different ruleset. Rebuild it here instead, and re-copy the official preset if you used one - 13 of the 17 changed. What changed in V3.1 and why old codes drift.

Current for V3.2.0 (stable August 26, 2026). V3.2 did not add, remove or move a single sandbox option, so a code built here applies unchanged on a V3.2 server. What V3.2 did change sits outside the SandboxCode entirely: entitygroups.xml spawning, and auto-turret wall placement being removed. The 165 options below are still the V3.1 set, which is why this page still says V3.1 rather than pretending otherwise.

The Community preset group carries the recipes players actually share - quests-per-tier back to 7 with claimable trader zones, and zombie digging off. Pick one, tweak it, then use Copy share link to hand your whole setup to your players as a single URL.

Looking for rulesets other players run, or want to show off yours? The official Share your Sandbox Code thread on The Fun Pimps forum is where codes get traded - and any code you find there can be pasted into the decoder on this page to see exactly what it changes before you apply it.
