DayZ server guides

DayZ server management, all in one place

Running a DayZ server on Nitrado usually means juggling the web interface, the file browser, an FTP client, a Discord bot and a pile of XML. Blxckforge brings it into one dashboard that works the same for PlayStation, Xbox and PC servers.

What you can do from the dashboard

Sign in with your Nitrado account and Blxckforge finds your DayZ servers. Your Nitrado access is stored encrypted on Blxckforge's server and never reaches your browser.

  • See whether the server is up, who is on and which map and version it runs
  • Restart, stop and start it, and manage the whitelist and ban list
  • Schedule restarts with countdowns in Discord, and have a crashed server brought back on its own
  • Change the server name, description, third person and crosshair without opening Nitrado
  • Read the admin log as it happens: kills, hits, building and who joined

Every config file, without FTP

types.xml, cfgspawnabletypes.xml, events.xml, messages.xml, cfgweather.xml, cfggameplay.json, globals.xml, player spawn points and starter kits each have their own editor. Mistakes are caught before you upload, so a stray bracket can't stop your server starting.

The editors are free in your browser. On the Server and Pro plans they open and save straight on Nitrado, with a backup taken first.

Your Discord, kept up to date

A killfeed, death feed, join and leave log, server status and leaderboards post to the channels you pick, read from your server's own logs. The Blxckforge bot adds player linking, moderation, tickets and, on paid plans, server money, bounties and factions.

Common questions

Does Blxckforge work with any DayZ host?

It works with DayZ servers rented from Nitrado, on PlayStation, Xbox and PC. It uses Nitrado's own API, so there's nothing to install on the server and no mods.

Is it free?

Yes. The dashboard, restarts, bans and whitelist, every editor and the killfeed in Discord are free for one server. Paid plans add picture cards, faster feeds, the live player map, server money, factions and saving files straight to Nitrado.

Does it need my Nitrado password?

No. You sign in through Nitrado and approve access. Blxckforge stores that access encrypted on its server, never in your browser, and you can revoke it from Nitrado at any time.

Can my admins use it too?

Yes. Invite staff as Moderators or Admins. They act on your server with their own role, and they never see your Nitrado access.
