Link your Hytale account, join and the most useful settings.

Your Hytale server installs itself. Before it can go online, it has to be linked once to a Hytale account. This guide covers that step, how to join, and the most useful settings.

1. Link the server to your Hytale account (first start only)

  1. Open your server in SparkPanel and click Start.
  2. The console shows a link and a short code, for example Enter code: AbCdEfGh at https://accounts.hytale.com/device.
  3. Open that link, log in with your Hytale account and enter the code. You have 10 minutes.
  4. The server continues automatically. When the console shows the server is ready, you can join.
Missed the 10 minutes? Restart the server and you get a new code.

2. Join your server

  1. Start Hytale and go to Servers.
  2. Add a server with the address from SparkPanel under Connect, for example g-fi-01.serverspark.nl:25565.
  3. Send the same address to your friends.

3. Useful settings

In SparkPanel under Settings:

  • Patchline: release (stable) or pre-release (newest features, more bugs).
  • Auto Update: on by default; the server updates itself when it starts.
  • Enable World Backups and Backup Frequency (minutes): Hytale's own world backups, on top of our nightly backups.
  • Allow Self-OP: turn on to give yourself operator rights in the game.

Restart the server after changing a setting.

4. Mods and plugins

Upload mods with the Files tab in SparkPanel, following the instructions of the mod itself, and restart the server. Before adding mods, make a backup under Backups. A broken mod can stop the server from starting; Ignore Broken Mods under Settings lets it start anyway.

Which plan?

4 GB runs a server for a group of friends. With many players, a big explored world or several mods, choose 8 GB. Questions? Email info@serverspark.nl.
