How to Add an Admin to Your Hytale Server

Learn how to add and remove admin permissions for players on your Hytale server, and what commands those admins can use.

Making yourself admin on a Hytale server gives you full control over how your world runs. From managing players and using commands to customizing the world and server settings, admin permissions unlock everything you need to run your server smoothly.

In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to make yourself admin on a Hytale server, explain what admin access does, and cover what to check if it doesn’t work the first time.

What Can Admins Do On A Hytale Server?

Admins on a Hytale server have access to powerful tools that let them manage players, customize the world, and keep the server running smoothly. Once you give yourself or another user admin access (also known as operator or op permissions), you unlock a full set of commands that go far beyond normal gameplay.

With admin privileges, you can:

  • Manage players: Use commands to ban, unban, or kick players, assign admin roles, and change how users interact with the server.

  • Control the world: Adjust time and weather, teleport anywhere, and control how the world behaves while players are online.

  • Moderate server access: Enable whitelists to control who can join your server, which is especially useful for private servers or small communities.

  • Build and customize faster: Admin and builder commands let you copy, paste, replace, and undo structures, making creative projects much easier to manage.

  • Configure server settings: Access important settings, manage permissions, and run commands directly through the server console or in game.
