Hytale server mods and plugins: the basics
Mods are a big part of why people are excited about Hytale. Hypixel Studios has said the game is built with modding in mind, but the details evolve, so confirm everything in the official Hytale server documentation before you install.
What community sources report
Community guides based on the server manual say that mods are supplied as zip or jar files placed in a mods folder, followed by a server restart. They also say you should check the logs to confirm the mod loaded. Another guide warns that compatibility depends on the game version and on how stable the mod interface is.
Before you install a mod
- Check the mod supports your exact game and server version.
- Download from the creator's official page or a trusted site.
- Read the description for required dependencies.
- Make a backup of your world first.
General install steps
- Stop the server in the Console tab.
- Open the Files tab and find the folder the documentation names for mods.
- Upload the mod file.
- Start the server.
- Watch the console and logs for loading messages or errors.
- Join and test the mod.
Add one at a time
If you add many mods at once and the server fails, you will not know which one is the cause. Add them one by one and test.
After game updates
A game patch can break mods. Wait for the mod author to confirm support before updating a busy server, or test on a copy first.
Performance and security
Mods use extra memory and CPU, so you may need a bigger plan. Only install code you trust, since mods run on your server.
What we cannot promise
Mod support depends on Hytale itself. We provide the hosting and panel access, and you manage which mods you use. If you need help uploading files, open a ticket in our Discord.
