Setting a Custom MOTD on a Hytale Server

Your Hytale server MOTD (Message of the Day) is the short text players see under your server name in the server list. If you don’t have a server yet, start with Hytale server hosting.

Change the MOTD in config.json

  1. Open your server panel
  2. Navigate to the Files tab
  3. Find and open config.json
  4. Find the MOTD setting near the top:
    "MOTD": "",
    
  5. Replace it with your custom message:
    "MOTD": "Welcome to our Hytale server!",
    
  6. Save the file
  7. Restart your server
