Hytale Server Updates

Track Hytale release and pre-release changes that affect dedicated servers, networking, mods, worlds, configuration, and tools.

Last updated: 2026-08-01

Hytale is evolving quickly during Early Access. Server protocol versions, plugin APIs, configuration formats, world systems, networking behavior, and update tooling can change between releases.

Current coverage

The Current Version page records the release status targeted by this site and important server-operator changes known at the review date.

Technical pages display a review date. Pages involving protocol, commands, APIs, or configuration should also identify the patchline or version when that distinction affects the result.

Release and pre-release channels

Do not assume that a command, plugin, mod, or world tested on pre-release behaves identically on release. Use separate installations and backups for different patchlines, and preserve a rollback copy before moving a production world forward.

For complete changes, use the official Hytale news and patch notes. Site summaries focus on changes that affect server operation and the tools published here.
