Player Tags let you use chat commands to instantly announce your status or what you’re looking for (recruiting teammates, trading, streaming, away from keyboard, and more) to people nearby or across the whole server. An icon and label appear in the HUD at the edge of your screen.
Basic Usage
- ON:
/<コマンド>(e.g./lf) - OFF:
/<コマンド>-off(e.g./lf-off) - See everyone’s tags:
/tag
There are two families of tags: “broadcast tags” and “proximity tags.”
Broadcast Tags (announce to everyone; auto-clears after about 1 hour)
While you hold one, a brief blinking notification appears on everyone else’s screen. Great for spreading the word about recruiting teammates or asking for help.

Proximity Tags, Timed (for people nearby; auto-clears after about 1 hour)
These show on your own HUD with the remaining time, and notify players within a 15m radius (they disappear a few seconds after you move away).
| Command | Display | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
/stream |

Proximity Tags, Permanent (stay until you turn them off)
These never auto-clear and remain until you remove them with /<コマンド>-off.
| Command | Display | Purpose |
|---|---|---|

ON Just by Holding It: 5 Dedicated Items
For the streaming, stall, photo, away, and busy proximity tags, you can broadcast the same tag while holding a dedicated item instead of typing the command. Put it away and it turns OFF automatically.
| Item | Tag Broadcast |
|---|---|
| Streaming Lantern | Live Streaming |
| Stall Banner | Running a Stall |
| Photo Board | Taking Photos |
| Away Torch | Away From Keyboard |
| Busy Torch | Busy |
ON Just by Wearing It: Clothing for Broadcast Tags
The 12 broadcast-type tags, such as recruiting teammates or wanting to trade, can be broadcast to people nearby the whole time you wear a dedicated “undergarment” (take it off and it turns OFF). Each tag comes in three tiers, T1 through T3, and the equip slot depends on the category.
| Slot | Matching Tags |
|---|---|
| Head | Looking for Friends / Recruiting Quest Buddies / Recruiting for Expedition |
| Hands | Wants to Trade / Sharing Extras / Looking for Building Help |
| Chest | Available to Guide (Mentor) / Newcomer · Wants Guidance / Requesting Rescue |
| Feet | Recruiting for Blood Moon / Base Open to Visitors / Looking for Voice Chat |
Whereas the command version of a broadcast tag gives “a blinking notification to everyone on the server and auto-clears after about 1 hour,” the clothing version is a proximity, permanent type that broadcasts “to people nearby, the whole time you wear it.” Use it as a standing sign when you always want to be showing it.
These dedicated items (both the 5 tools and the clothing) can be crafted cheaply at the WRT Crafting Station (2 wood, 3 cloth).
