Hytale server hosting

Hytale is a block-building adventure game from Hypixel Studios, the team behind the Hypixel Minecraft server. It launched into Early Access on 13 January 2026, after the original founders bought the IP back from Riot Games and reformed the studio as an independent company. At its core, Hytale is about exploration, combat, crafting, and building in a world full of dungeons and biomes, with a full Creative mode for players who'd rather just build. Dedicated server support and built-in modding through CurseForge shipped from day one, and the first big content update, Chapter 1: Out of the Breach, released on 12 October 2026.

The official minimum is 4 GB of RAM and Java 25. The server runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux (both x64 and arm64). 4 GB is fine for a small friend group on vanilla. Hypixel's server manual says RAM use is driven mostly by view distance and how far apart players explore, so a bigger or modded server wants more headroom.

Yes. Hytale servers have to be authorised with a Hytale account before they accept player connections. Open the Console tab in the control panel, run `/auth login device`, then open the link it prints and enter the code. Use the newest link only: each new `/auth login device` cancels the code before it.

Yes, and it's one of the nicest things about the game. Mods install on the server and players receive them automatically when they connect, so there's no mod loader to install on the client and no manual downloads. On LOW.MS you can search CurseForge from the Mods tab in the control panel and install a mod with one click, or upload your own to `config/mods` over SFTP.

Hytale uses UDP port 5520 by default and runs on QUIC over UDP. There's no TCP component at all. On LOW.MS the port is assigned for you at provisioning and shown with your server address in the control panel. If you're self-hosting, you only need to open UDP 5520 in your firewall (and forward it through your router if you're behind a NAT).

Yes. You can copy your singleplayer world folder from `UserData\Saves\` (on the client) into `universe/worlds/` on the server, which is `config/universe/worlds/` on a LOW.MS server, and optionally bring across your player data file too. Our migration guide in the knowledgebase walks through both the world transfer and the character transfer.

Hytale has two main modes: Exploration (the survival experience, with crafting, combat, resource gathering, and progression) and Creative (unlimited resources and free building). Both are available on dedicated servers. Hardcore arrived in Update 6 as a setting you pick when a world is created, with options such as Permadeath and Three Strikes, so an existing world can't be switched to it. Chapter 1 also added Minigames (Prop Hunt and Shuffle Jam), which you queue for from the game's main menu.

It depends on your RAM tier, your view distance and whether you're running mods. 4 GB suits a small friend group on vanilla, and larger groups, heavier mod packs and players exploring far apart all want more. Hypixel recommends capping view distance at 12 chunks, because view distance is the main driver of RAM use.

Yes, across desktop. Hytale runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and all three can play together on the same servers. Console support hasn't been announced.
