Summary
Adding tags to a Rust server can make it easier for players to find the server that matches their gameplay preferences. Tags are keywords that describe the server’s features, settings, and theme, and they appear in the server browser and search results. By adding relevant tags, server owners can ensure their server is visible to players looking for specific gameplay elements, such as roleplaying, PVP, or modded servers.
How to Add Tags to a Rust Server
- 1. From the command prompt, type the following command and hit enter: server.tags "tag,tag,tag". Replace tag with any tags listed on the Rust wiki.

- 2. Type the following command: server.writecfg
Alternative way
- If your control panel has a 'Server Tags' field in the Startup section, you can specify the tags there. After that, you will need to restart the server for the changes to take effect.
