How to Locate a Player’s EOS ID in 7 Days to Die

In 7 Days to Die, the EOS ID (Epic Online Services ID) acts as a unique identifier for every player. Knowing this ID helps server admins manage permissions, moderate behaviour, and apply commands to specific users.

Finding a Player’s EOS ID via the Console

If the player has recently connected to your server, you can easily locate their EOS ID through the ChipHead Panel console.

1. Log in to your ChipHead Panel.

   

2. Open the Console tab.

   

3. Search for the player’s name in the console logs and look for their CrossId.

   1. When a player connects, you’ll see something like this:

      PlayerSpawnedInWorld (reason: EnterMultiplayer, position: 12 123 12): 
      EntityID=171, PltfmId='Steam_12345678910', CrossId='EOS_0001234567890abcdefg', 
      OwnerID='Steam_12345678910', PlayerName='Username', ClientNumber='2'

Here’s what each value means:

• CrossId – The player’s EOS ID

• OwnerID – The player’s Steam ID

• PlayerName – The player’s username

Finding a Player’s EOS ID via players.xml

If the player isn’t currently online but has joined your server before, you can find their EOS ID in the players.xml file.

1. Log in to your ChipHead Panel.

   

2. Open the Files tab.

   

3. Navigate to your world folder and open players.xml - /.local/share/7DaysToDie/Saves/[MAPNAME]/MyGame/players.xml

4. Locate the line containing the player’s username and take note of the userid.

   

   1. An entry might look like this:

      <player platform="EOS" userid="0000001234567890abcdefg" 
      nativeplatform="Steam" nativeuserid="12345678910" 
      playername="Username" lastlogin="2024-11-15 17:49:30" 
      position="-1255,61,239" />

In this example:

• The EOS ID is EOS_0000001234567890abcdefg

• The Steam ID is found under nativeuserid=

You’re all set!: You now know how to find a player’s EOS ID on your 7 Days to Die server using either the console or the player data files. This info will make moderating and managing your ChipHead server much easier.
