RefugeBot — the all-in-one
admin platform for 7 Days to Die.
Hosted admin panel, player web shop, live world map, dual-currency economy, Discord bridge, scheduler and 70+ in-game commands — linked to your server by one tiny in-process Agent mod, so commands fire instantly, with zero lag. Battle-tested across the Refuge Gaming cluster, and now 100% compatible with 7DTD 3.0.
NEW Sandbox Marketplace — paste any 7DTD 3.0 settings code and see exactly what it does, in plain English. Build & share your own. Open →A premium platform. Free to start.
RefugeBot is free to install and run in-game — the Agent connects and your players get the built-in commands, no web panel needed. The hosted browser layer — admin panel, player shop & economy, Discord bridge, scheduler and live world map — is the subscription. That's the part you configure and run from refugebot.com.

Built for 7 Days to Die. Not bolted on.
Most server tools poll over RCON and lag behind the game. RefugeBot runs inside your server as a native mod — so it's faster, deeper, and always current with the latest 7DTD.
Zero command lag
RefugeBot runs as an in-process Agent mod, not an RCON poller. Gives, teleports, and shop deliveries land the instant they're triggered.
In-process · native100% 7DTD 3.0 ready
Fully compatible with 3.0 "Dead Hot Summer" — and still runs on 2.6 from the same build. Update your server whenever you like.
2.6 & 3.0 · one buildActively developed
Consistent, real updates — not abandonware. v1.4.0 just shipped; see the full changelog for the steady cadence.
Ships every weekBattle-tested
Runs the live Refuge Gaming cluster every day — multiple servers, shared characters, real players. The whole stack, proven.
Production-hardenedEverything a 7 Days server actually needs.
One sign-in, one Hub, every server. The full community stack — no duct tape, no juggling eight separate mods.
Decode & share 7DTD 3.0 sandbox codes
7 Days to Die 3.0 packs all 150 sandbox settings into one cryptic share code. Paste any code and instantly see exactly what every setting does in plain English — then build your own in a visual editor, share it, and let the community upvote the best. There's a /sandbox Discord command too.
A browser admin panel for the whole server
Players, claims, bans, wallets, console, live stats — manage everything from a fast web deck. Right-click a player for inventory, skills, teleport, give, or jail. No more typing console commands blind.
| Player | Status | Coins | Day |
|---|---|---|---|
| NightOwl | ● online | 12,400 | 47 |
| Picard | ● online | 8,150 | 47 |
| Ravager | ● online | 3,920 | 41 |
| DocHollow | offline 2h | 21,005 | 47 |
Player web shop, bazaar & dual-currency economy
Players sign in with Steam and buy items with coins (earned) or gold (premium). Player-run bazaars, donor multipliers, daily rewards and leaderboards. Offline buys queue and deliver the moment they reconnect.
Live world map with players, zombies & backups
Five zoom levels, live entity dots (players, hostiles, animals), region search and download, a prefab picker, and hourly auto-backups with one-click region restore when a base gets griefed.
Discord bridge & 70+ commands
Two-way chat bridge between Discord and in-game, /players and /say slash commands, donor-role auto-apply, and a plugin hub for your own Lua commands — no C# required.
Cross-server transfers & clustering
Players type /servertransfer and a live picker opens in their browser — one click hops them to any of your linked servers via steam://, no IP typing. Share a save and they keep their character — level, skills, inventory — across worlds. Run a network, not just a server.
Land claims & grief protection
Draw protected zones right on the map: keep-out claims, hostile-free PvE bubbles, jail (reversed) zones, level-gated areas, and full-PvP arenas — with allies and access levels. Grief protection that actually holds, enforced in-process on every tick.
A scheduler that knows about Blood Moons
A visual cron for restarts, announcements and weekly events — that's blood-moon-aware. A scheduled restart automatically defers through a live horde and fires the moment it's safe, so you never reboot mid-blood-moon. Plus real-world countdowns to the next one.
| Daily restart | 04:00 | ● scheduled |
| Restart (bloodmoon) | 22:00 | ⏸ deferred → 23:47 |
| Weekly raffle | Sun 20:00 | ● scheduled |
| Save world | */15 min | ● scheduled |
A full dossier on every player
Click any player for inventory, skills, playtime, kill stats, ban history and wallets — live when they're online, last-known when they're not. Then right-click to give, teleport, jail, or message them, instantly.
| Level | 142 | Playtime | 318 h |
| Zombie kills | 24,901 | Deaths | 63 |
| Coins | 12,400 | Gold | 85 |
…and a lot more in the box
The full operations stack — every system your community needs, in one place.
Hourly backups & region restore
Automatic world backups; roll back a single griefed region or the whole save in one click.
Anti-cheat detection
Flags flying, speed and noclip cheats and pings your staff in Discord — with the evidence.
Auto server-healing
Clears stuck "ghost" players and wedged connections on its own, so the server never needs a babysitter.
Donor tiers & perks
Per-tier coin multipliers, auto-applied Discord roles, and reserved slots so donors always get in.
Packs & starter kits
Bundle items into claimable packs with cooldowns — welcome kits, daily drops, event rewards.
Whitelist & bans
Manage the whitelist, bans and banned-items list from the web — synced live to the server.
Homes & public waypoints
/sethome, /home, and admin-set public waypoints players can fast-travel to.
Friendly settings editor
Tune your serverconfig in a clean, grouped UI — no hand-editing XML, nothing lost on update.
Searchable chat log
Every in-game and Discord message, persistently logged and searchable from the panel.
One small mod.
Hosted everything.
The RefugeBot Agent is a ~730 KB C# mod that drops into your 7DTD
Mods/ folder. It dials a secure WebSocket back to refugebot.com
using your AgentKey, and we host the rest — admin panel, web shop, scheduler,
Discord bridge, world map.
No backend to stand up. No Postgres to babysit. Your server keeps running normally while RefugeBot's stack lives over here — and because the Agent runs in-process, there's no RCON lag between a command and the result.
