Your Hytale server runs on the Endercloud Game Panel. To get it ready you just start it and share its address with your friends. Server authentication is set up automatically by Endercloud, so you don't need to run any login commands. This guide walks you through each step.
Step 1: Open your server in the Game Panel
Log in to the billing panel and open Services.
Open your Hytale service and, under Service Actions, click Auto Login to Panel (or Access Panel). See How to log in to the Game Panel if you need a password.
On the Game Panel home page, click Manage server on your Hytale server's card.
Inside the server you get the general panel menu: Dashboard, Console, Settings, Activity, then Files, Databases, Backups, Network, then Schedules, Users, Startup. Minecraft-only tabs such as Versions and Plugins are not part of a Hytale server; you manage Hytale files and mods in Files. The header at the top shows the server name, its status, its address (for example in6.endercloud.in:45568), live CPU, RAM and disk use, and the Start / Restart / Stop buttons.
Step 2: Start the server and watch the console
Click Start, then open Console.
The first start takes longer than usual because the server creates its files and world.
Wait until the console shows the server has finished starting.
No device login needed. Hytale dedicated servers must be authenticated, and on Endercloud this is handled automatically. If the console ever asks you to authenticate (for example with /auth login device), open a ticket instead of signing in with your own account.
Step 3: Share your address
Players join with the address and port from the panel header, written as address:port. Hytale's own default port is 5520, but on our panel your server has its own port, so players must always include it. See How to join a Hytale server.
Where your settings live
Open Files to see the server files. The most important ones are:
File or folder | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Main server configuration |
| Permission groups and operators |
| Allowed and banned players |
| Installed mods and plugins |
| Worlds and player save data |
| Server log files |
Stop the server before editing these files. Hytale reads them at startup and writes to them while it runs, so changes made while it is online are often overwritten.
Good habits from day one
Make a backup in Backups before big changes, and download important ones. See How to create and restore backups.
Add friends who help you run the server with Users instead of sharing your login. See How to add sub-users.
View distance is the biggest driver of RAM use in Hytale. If memory is tight, keep it moderate.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to own Hytale to run the server?
No. Server authentication is handled by Endercloud. Each player who joins needs their own copy of Hytale.
Why can't players join right after I bought the server?
Usually players left out the port, or the server hasn't finished starting. Check that it shows Online and that players type address:port exactly as shown in the panel header. If the console shows an authentication error, open a ticket.
Players say the server version doesn't match
Hytale requires the client and server to be on exactly the same version. After a game update, restart your server and check the console. If it still runs an older version, open a ticket and our team will help you update it.
Still stuck? Open a ticket with a screenshot of your console and we'll help.
