Hytale Server Commands

Hytale has a powerful command system that lets you teleport, spawn items, control the weather, and manage your server. Here are the commands you’ll actually use.

To use commands, press Enter to open chat, type your command starting with /, and press Enter again to execute.

Note: Hytale is in Early Access, so command syntax may change between updates. Use /help or add --help to any command to see the current syntax on your server.

Getting Admin Permissions

Most commands require operator (admin) permissions. If you’re running your own server or have been given access, start by granting yourself admin rights:

/op self

You’ll see “You are now OP!” confirming it worked. To give someone else admin permissions, use /op username.

Basic Commands

Check Who’s Online

/who

Lists all players currently connected to the server. Handy for seeing who’s around before you start building or heading into PvP.

Find Your Location

/whereami

Shows your current coordinates. Useful when you find something cool and want to remember where it is, or when giving directions to friends.

Return to Spawn

/spawn

Instantly teleports you back to the world spawn point. The fastest way home when you’re lost or just done exploring.

Check Your Connection

/ping

Displays your network latency to the server. If you’re experiencing lag, this helps confirm whether it’s your connection or the server.

Teleportation

Teleporting is one of the most-used commands on any server.

Teleport to another player:

/tp playername

Teleport someone to you:

/tp playername yourname

Teleport to coordinates:

/tp x y z

Server admins often use teleportation to help stuck players, investigate reports, or quickly travel across the map.

Spawning Items

The /give command lets you spawn any item directly into a player’s inventory. You’ll need to know the item’s ID.

/give username Item_ID -quantity=1

Example: To give yourself a crude sword:

/give yourname Weapon_Sword_Crude -quantity=1

You can find item IDs by hovering over items in your inventory - the ID appears below the item name. Community-maintained item ID lists are also available online.

Time and Weather

Control the world environment with these commands.

Set the time of day:

/time set 12

Uses a 24-hour format. Set to 0 for midnight, 6 for sunrise, 12 for noon, 18 for sunset.

Change the weather:

/weather set Zone1_Clear

Weather commands use zone and condition format. Common options include Clear, Cloudy, and Rain with intensity levels like Light, Medium, and Heavy.

Player Management

Server admins need these commands to keep things running smoothly.

Kick a player (removes them from the server):

/kick username

Ban a player (permanent removal):

/ban username

Unban a player:

/unban username

Manage the whitelist:

/whitelist add username
/whitelist remove username

Whitelisting restricts your server to approved players only - great for private communities.

Tips for Server Admins

Use /help liberally. Commands change between Hytale updates, and /help commandname always shows the current syntax.

Set up warps for common locations. The /warp command lets you create named teleport points so players can easily travel to hubs, arenas, or event areas.

Know the gamemode command. Use /gamemode to switch players between Exploration and Creative modes when needed.
