Early Access Note

Since Hytale is in early access, the exact connection steps may change as the game develops. Always check the latest game documentation or our troubleshooting guide if you encounter issues.

Gameplay modes

Hytale supports multiple gameplay modes on your server:

• Exploration Mode: Survive, build, and explore the world
• Creative Mode: Powerful building tools and unlimited resources
• Multiplayer: Play with friends and other players

Your server can be configured for any of these modes through the server settings.

Password-protected servers

If you've set a server password, you'll be prompted to enter it when connecting. Make sure to enter the exact password (it's case-sensitive!).

First time setup

When you first connect to your Hytale server, you'll be able to:

• Create your character and customize your appearance
• Choose your starting location in the world
• Set gameplay preferences for your session
• Explore the world with friends

Your character and world progress will be saved on the server, so you and your friends can continue your adventure anytime!

Mod support

Hytale is built with mod support from the ground up! Install mods through the Pterodactyl panel to customize your server exactly how you want – much easier than Minecraft modding.
