Hytale server setup

Hytale is the sandbox-RPG hybrid from Hypixel Studios. This guide walks you through picking a plan, deploying your instance in under 60 seconds, and getting your friends connected.

Picking a plan

The Hytale configurator walks you through it, but if you already know what you need, the lineup is:

• Explorer — 4 GB RAM, 2 vCores, 40 GB NVMe. Good for a small private world (4–8 friends).
• Adventurer — 8 GB, 3 vCores, 80 GB. The sweet spot for most groups.
• Veteran — 12 GB, 4 vCores, 120 GB. Bigger communities or heavily-modded play.
• Legend — 16 GB, 4 vCores, 160 GB. Server-side scripting, custom game modes.
• Mythic — 20 GB, 6 vCores, 200 GB. Public-ish servers with steady traffic.
• Divine — 24 GB, 8 vCores, 250 GB. Network nodes, public hubs, large minigame servers.

Unsure? Start one tier above your gut estimate — Hytale's modding API allows custom prefabs and entities that will eat RAM. You can downgrade at any time (see Upgrading or downgrading).

Placing the order

1. Open billing.pulsarservers.com and sign in (or create an account).
2. Navigate to Store → Hytale.
3. Click the plan you want.
4. Choose a billing cycle. Quarterly knocks 10%, yearly knocks 20%.
5. Pick a datacenter — Falkenstein (DE), Helsinki (FI), or Warsaw (PL). Pick the one closest to your player base for the lowest ping.
6. Optionally enter a server hostname (you can change it later).
7. Check out with your preferred payment method — see Payment methods.

What happens after checkout

Your server provisions automatically in under 60 seconds. You'll receive a welcome email containing:

• Your Game Panel credentials at panel.pulsarservers.com.
• The server's connection address (host + port) — already live, ready for first start.
• A link to your billing area for invoices, upgrades and cancellation.

First start

The Hytale panel mirrors the Minecraft one — same console, files, schedules, subusers. To boot:

1. Open the Game Panel and pick your server.
2. If a config wizard appears (gamemode, world seed, max players), fill it in. You can skip everything and edit later.
3. Press Start. The console will stream worldgen output.
4. When you see Server ready, the connection address shown on the dashboard is live and accepting players.

Connecting to your server

In the Hytale client:

1. Open Multiplayer → Add server.
2. Enter the connection address from your Game Panel dashboard (e.g. play.pulsarsrv.com:25612).
3. Hit Join.

Want a cleaner address like myserver.pulsarsrv.com? See Custom subdomains.

If your friends connect from another continent and the ping feels rough, your datacenter pick was probably wrong. Open a ticket and we'll migrate you to a closer node free of charge.

Next steps

Once you're up:

• Tune the game and worldgen settings via Config files reference.
• Set up scheduled restarts to free RAM nightly — see Schedules.
• Add moderators with subusers rather than handing out passwords.
• Pin a daily auto-backup so nothing gets griefed permanently.
