Hytale server settings are controlled by your server’s config.json. Editing this file lets you customize things like your server name, password, max players, and performance-related settings (like view distance). If you don’t have a server yet, start with Hytale server hosting.

​
Where to edit the Hytale server config

  1. Open your server panel
  2. Navigate to the Files tab
  3. Find and open config.json (usually in the root server directory)
  4. Make your changes
  5. Save the file
  6. Restart the server to apply changes
Stop/restart your server before editing config.json, otherwise your changes may not apply correctly.
