How to Set Up Twitch Integration on Your 7 Days to Die Server
7 Days to Die can hook into Twitch for stream events (viewer votes, party spawns, etc.). Setup is mostly config on the server plus linking from the streamer’s game client.
Enable integration on the server
Section titled “Enable integration on the server”- Open the AleForge Panel
- Stop the server
- Open
File Manager→serverconfig.xml - Adjust Twitch-related properties as needed:
| Property | Purpose |
|---|---|
TwitchServerPermission |
Minimum permission level to use Twitch features (often 90) |
TwitchBloodMoonAllowed |
Allow Twitch events during blood moons |
TwitchServerLogin |
Twitch account linkage (set per official game docs) |
Exact property names can vary slightly by game version. Search serverconfig.xml for Twitch after updates.
- Save and start the server
Streamer-side setup
Section titled “Streamer-side setup”The server config only opens the door. The streamer still:
- Links their Twitch account in 7 Days to Die under game settings
- Enables integration in the in-game Twitch menu
- Connects to this dedicated server (not single-player)
Twitch integration is tied to the account running the game, not the panel login.
Permissions
Section titled “Permissions”Give trusted streamers a low enough permission level to meet TwitchServerPermission, or lower that property if only admins should trigger events.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”- Events not firing → confirm the streamer is on the dedicated server and logged into Twitch in-game
- Kicks or EAC issues → some setups need EAC configured consistently with crossplay plans
