Hytale Server Hosting - How does a Hytale server work (architecture, prerequisites, configuration)


Hytale is now available, bringing with it a new generation of multiplayer servers. At OuiHeberg, we are among the first European hosts to offer Hytale server hosting via OuiBox, with automated deployment, optimized infrastructure, and seamless integration with the official Hytale authentication.

Our offer is turnkey : you start your server, we take care of all the technical aspects. 👉 https://www.ouiheberg.com/fr/hebergeur-serveur-hytale

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, the required UDP ports are automatically opened in OuiPanel. No network configuration is needed on the client side.

3. Technical Prerequisites

System

Hytale servers run on Linux or Windows (64-bit). At OuiHeberg, they are deployed on Linux for optimal stability.

Java

Hytale requires Java 25. OuiBox automatically installs the required version during deployment.

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

OuiBox allocates resources in isolation to ensure the stability of each 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 server is automatically registered with the official Hytale servers
  • no manual manipulation is required

We have deployed a special update to OuiPanel to simplify this step and avoid any configuration errors.

5. Deploying a Hytale Server with OuiBox

Deployment is fully automated:

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

In a few minutes, your server is online and accessible.

It is also possible to:

  • create multiple Hytale servers
  • adjust resources
  • import worlds
  • install mods
  • restart and monitor the server

6. Mods, Scripts, and Extensions

Hytale supports:

  • mods
  • scripts
  • custom assets

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

OuiBox allows:

  • access to files via SFTP
  • installation and updating of mods
  • restart management

7. Security and Backups

Hytale servers at OuiHeberg benefit from:

  • anti-DDoS protection
  • isolation between servers
  • monitoring
  • automatic backups included

Worlds are protected against data loss, even in case of incidents.
