How To Configure Your Hytale Server - Hytale Guide

We've built common Hytale settings right into our panel for easy access. Here's how to customize your Hytale server.

Basic Configuration

Go to the GhostCap Panel and Stop your Hytale server.
In the sidebar, go to Server Options.
Edit the settings you'd like to change.
Start your server.

Editing config.json

For advanced configuration options, you can modify the config.json file directly.

Go to the GhostCap Panel and Stop your Hytale server.
In the sidebar, go to File Manager.
Open the config.json file.
Edit the settings you want to change.
Click Save and Start your server.

Example config.json

{
  "Version": 3,
  "ServerName": "My Hytale Server",
  "MOTD": "",
  "Password": "",
  "MaxPlayers": 100,
  "MaxViewRadius": 32,

World Configuration

Each playable world has its own folder in universe/worlds/ containing a config.json. You can customize individual world settings by editing that file:

Go to the GhostCap Panel and Stop your Hytale server.
In the sidebar, go to File Manager.
Navigate to universe/worlds/WorldName/config.json.
Edit the settings you want to change.
Click Save and Start your server.
