Setting up a Hytale server

Updated 4 Nov 2026

Sign the server in

On the first start, type this in the Console:

Console
/auth login device

Open the link it shows, sign in, and enter the code. You only do this once.

Join your server

In Hytale, add a server with your address and port. The address and port are at the top of your server page in the panel.

Be an operator

Set Allow operators to 1 on the Startup tab and restart. Then:

Console
/op add YourName

Add plugins

Upload .jar plugins to mods in the File Manager with the server stopped.

Problems

Players cannot join

Sign the server in with /auth login device.

A plugin will not load

It may be for a different Hytale version.

Slow to start

Leave Use Ahead-of-Time Cache on.
