# How to Add Tags to Your Rust Server

> Learn about how to add server tags to your Rust server description with this easy to follow guide.

**Last Updated 3/14/24**

Rust server tags are a way to make it easier for potential players to find your server. When setting up your server to get as many potential players as possible, it's important to configure these tags properly.

With properly configured tags, players looking for your specific type of server will be able to filter it out from other servers.

    <Warning>Using more than 1 tag per tag group will create problems for people searching for your server. The tags will not display. The only exception to this rule is server tags without a tag group. (pve, roleplay, creative, etc.)</Warning>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the 'write.cfg' command.">
    This will tell your Rust server to check the config file for your new changes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Restart your Rust server.">
    Once you have set your server tags, restart your Rust server for the tags to be updated.
  </Step>
