Managing players is a core part of running a Hytale server, and knowing how to ban players gives admins full control over the game environment. If you’re dealing with griefing, rule violations, or need to remove a player from the server, Hytale makes it easy to issue ban commands either in game or through the server console using built-in admin commands and server commands.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to ban a player by username, manage permissions, and handle offline players, as well as how to unban players when needed. We’ll also cover common Hytale commands for player management, explain how bans affect access across worlds, and show you how server admins can manage users quickly and safely without disrupting gameplay for other players.
Banning Players From A Hytale Server
To ban a player from your Hytale server:
-
Navigate to your Game Server Console. This can be found in your Physgun server panel, or via the command line interface where you are hosting your server, such as a VPS.
-
In your game server console, type in the command “Who”
- This will display the entire list of all players connected to your server and some player information.
-
In the console, type in the command “ban player” where player is the name of the target player you would like to ban.
For example: /ban Player123
-
If you have OP access in game, you can also run “/ban player“ in the in-game chat.
This will instantly disconnect the target player from the server and prevent them from being able to connect to the server again. This command will also work if the player is not online or not connected to your server.
Unbanning A Player From A Hytale Server
To unban a player from your Hytale server:
-
Navigate to your Game Server Console.
-
In your game server console, enter in the command “unban player”, where player is the name of the player that is banned on your server.
-
If you have OP access in game, you can also run “/unban player” in the in-game chat.
This will instantly unban the target player on your server and they will immediately be able to rejoin your server.
Kicking A Player From A Hytale Server
To kick a player from your Hytale server:
-
Navigate to your Game Server Console.
-
In your game server console, enter in the command “kick player”, where player is the name of the player that you want to kick from your server.
