This guide explains how a Hytale server works, what the technical prerequisites are, and how to properly deploy a Hytale server at OuiHeberg.

1. What is a Hytale server?

A Hytale server is a dedicated instance that hosts:

  • the world
  • the players
  • the entities
  • the game logic
  • mods and scripts

Unlike older multiplayer engines, Hytale was designed from the ground up to run on custom servers, with a modern network engine and native modding support.

A Hytale server can host:

  • a private world
  • a community server
  • a multi-server network
  • or multiple independent worlds

At OuiHeberg, a single client can run multiple Hytale servers from OuiBox, as long as CPU, RAM, and storage resources allow.

2. Hytale Server Architecture

A Hytale server relies on several components:

Server Process

The server is a Java application that manages:

  • world simulation
  • player connections
  • scripts
  • network synchronization

World and Universe

Worlds are stored in a directory called universe, which contains:

  • player data
  • chunks
  • structures
  • scripts

Network Engine

Hytale uses the QUIC protocol over UDP, enabling:

  • lower latency
  • better packet loss management
  • smoother player synchronization

At OuiHeberg, your Hytale server is protected by anti-DDoS.

3. Technical Prerequisites

System

Hytale servers run on Linux or Windows (64-bit). At OuiHeberg, they run on Linux.

Java

Hytale requires Java 25.

CPU

Hytale heavily relies on processor performance for:

  • world simulation
  • AI
  • scripts
  • server tick

Good CPU power is essential for a smooth server.

RAM

Recommended averages:

  • 4 GB: small private server
  • 8 GB: community server
  • 12 GB and above: public or modded server

You can change plans at any time without losing your server.

Storage

Hytale worlds generate a lot of data. Fast storage improves:

  • loading times
  • backups
  • restarts

4. Official Hytale Authentication

Hytale requires that each server be linked to a valid Hytale account to be authorized to accept players.

At OuiHeberg:

  • you link your Hytale account to your server

The account is linked from OuiPanel.

5. Deploying a Hytale Server with OuiBox

Here are the steps:

  1. Order an OuiBox server
  2. Select the Hytale game
  3. Automatic deployment
  4. Linking the Hytale account
  5. Starting the server

It is also possible to:

  • create multiple Hytale servers
  • change plans without loss
  • import worlds
  • install mods with the CurseForge Mods Manager
  • restart the server and follow it with Monitoring

6. Mods, Scripts, and Extensions

  • scripts
  • custom assets

These elements are loaded server-side, allowing players to join without complex configuration.

  • access to files via SFTP
  • the CurseForge Mods Manager to install mods
  • restart management

7. Security and Backups
