How to Add a Password to a Don't Starve Together Server

Adding a password to your Don’t Starve Together server helps keep your world private and ensures that only invited players can join. This is especially useful for playing with friends or managing a controlled community.


Adding a Server Password


  1. Open the Apollo Panel, and ensure that your server is offline.


  1. In the Files tab, open the "DoNotStarveTogether/config/server/cluster.ini" file.



  1. Set the password that you want to use on the server under the "cluster_password" setting.



  1. Once you have set a password, click on the "Save Content" button to save the current config changes.



  1. Start your server, and it should now be password-protected.
