Hi Hytaler, there are a lot of command lists for Hytale out there, and many have commands in them that don't even exist (like /deop). So I checked every command here against the 0.7.2 server jar from my own server. If it's in this list, it's in the game. How commands work In the server console and in game chat you type them with a / in front /help lists everything, /help <command> explains one command add --help to any command to see its options, for example /whitelist --help in game you need the permission for it. Commands use permission nodes like hytale.command.<name> First thing: make yourself op On a fresh server nobody is op. You have 2 options: start the server once with --allow-op, join, and type /op self or stop the...

Hi Hytaler, Do this one today, not the day after you've lost a world. Your world is the one thing on the server you can't redownload — server files, mods, configs are all replaceable in minutes; three weeks of player builds are not. So back it up, automatically, off the box. Everyone agrees with this right up until the disk dies and they find out their "backup" was a folder on the same dead disk.

Hi Hytaler, When a server lags, people reach for "add more RAM" and stop there. Sometimes that's it. Often it isn't. Hytale's performance comes down to four things — view distance, memory, a single fast core, and the disk — and knowing which one is hurting saves you from throwing money at the wrong part. Table of Contents View distance is the biggest lever One fast core beats eight slow ones Give the heap enough, watch GC Put it on an SSD Stop guessing — watch it under load 1. View distance is the biggest lever View distance scales with area, so it's squared. Bump it from 256 to 512 and you haven't doubled the load — you've roughly quadrupled it. Every loaded chunk is work for the CPU and memory for the heap, multiplied by...

Hi Hytaler, We was working last days on some Guides and running a Hytale server is fun, but leaving it unsecured can lead to griefing, exploits, crashes, or even full system compromise. This guide covers the most important security steps every server owner should apply, whether you run a private world or a public community server. Table of Contents Run the Server as a Separate User Keep Java and the Server Updated Use a Firewall Limit Open Ports Enable Backups Protect Admin Commands Use Whitelist for Private Servers Monitor Logs Use Screen DDoS Protection and Network Hardening 1. Run the Server as a Separate User Never run your game server as root. Create a dedicated user: adduser hytale su - hytale This prevents...
