When you first purchase a 7 Days to Die server, Navezgane is the default selected map. This pre-generated world is designed by the developers and offers a fixed, non-randomized environment. It's ideal for players who prefer a consistent and predictable gameplay experience.

However, there are other pre-generated worlds available for you to select on your server.

Using a different world type

If you’re looking to use a randomly generated or custom world instead of a pregenerated world, check out our guide on all the different methods to change your world here: World Changes
