Setting a Password on a Hytale Server

Setting a Hytale server password makes your Hytale dedicated server private, so only players with the password can join. If you don’t have a server yet, start with Hytale server hosting.

Set the password in config.json

  1. Open your server panel
  2. Navigate to the Files tab
  3. Find and open config.json
  4. Find the password setting (often around line 5):
    "Password": "",
    
  5. Add your password inside the quotes:
    "Password": "YourPasswordHere",
    
  6. Save the file
  7. Restart your server
To remove the password and make your Hytale server public again, set it back to "" and restart your server.
