Even if someone is playing alone, the game starts a small server in the background on the player&#8217;s computer. This approach is called server-based architecture. This is important because it makes multiplayer more stable and easier to expand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hytale Multiplayer Option 1: Join a Friend&#8217;s World<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When a player opens their world, they can give other players a so-called <strong>share code<\/strong>. This share code is a connection code that is entered in the game so that a player can automatically and directly connect to their friend&#8217;s world. It is important to note that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>the host (i.e., the player who opened the world) must remain online while the game is being played<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>if the host closes the game, all players will be disconnected from the world<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the world runs on the host&#8217;s computer, not on a server that is continuously online<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hytale Multiplayer Option 2: A Private Hytale Server from a Game Server Host<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to directly sharing your own world via share code, you can also rent a <strong>private Hytale server<\/strong> from a game server host such as GPORTAL. This is a standalone server (\u2018dedicated\u2019) that is operated exclusively for your game world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such a server runs permanently online, independently of your own computer. This means that the world is accessible at all times, even when the original player is offline. Progress, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/hytale-structures\/\">buildings<\/a>, and characters remain continuously saved, making this option particularly suitable for long-term projects or larger groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages of GPORTAL Hytale Hosting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important advantage concerns system performance. If a world is opened locally on your own computer and played at the same time, the same PC takes on the role of both the player and the server. This significantly increases the load on the processor and RAM. With multiple players, this can quickly lead to performance issues. Lags, delays, and annoying stuttering are then commonplace and dampen the gaming experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, if a private game server is used with a game server host, the host takes over all server work. Your own PC then only has to display and control the game. This ensures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>A significantly more stable connection<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Better performance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A smoother overall multiplayer experience<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Technically speaking, a Hytale server requires at least:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>4 GB RAM<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Java 25<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>an open UDP port (default: 5520)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply put, a \u2018port\u2019 is a door in the router through which game data is transmitted. With a rented Hytale server, GPORTAL takes care of the setup, configuration, and network settings, so no prior technical knowledge is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Join a Hytale Multiplayer Server<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To join a Hytale multiplayer server, you need the server address. This consists of either an IP address (e.g., 123.45.67.89) or a domain. In the multiplayer section of Hytale, this address can be entered in the corresponding field. After confirmation, the game will attempt to connect to the server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does the Port Number Mean?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some servers also use a port number. The default port for Hytale servers is 5520. If no other port is used, it is usually not necessary to specify it. However, if a server runs on a different port, it is appended to the address with a colon. An example of a complete address could be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>123.45.67.89:5521<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The part after the colon is the port number. It functions like an additional door within the same IP address, through which the game finds the correct server instance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happens When Connecting?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After entering the server address, the Hytale client automatically checks the connection. If <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/how-do-i-add-mods-to-my-hytale-server\/\">mods<\/a> are installed on the server or other content is used, these are automatically loaded when entering. This means that manual installation of mod files is not necessary. If the connection to the server fails, these could be common causes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>incorrect server address<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>incorrect port<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>blocked firewall<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the server is offline<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For a rented Hytale server, the IP address and port are usually displayed in the provider&#8217;s customer area (dashboard). This data can be transferred directly from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Security in Hytale Multiplayer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure you can enjoy the game without any worries, here are a few tips for your safety and that of your friends in Hytale Multiplayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Never reveal share codes publicly, as they contain IP information!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Only enable necessary ports, use strong passwords, and install updates regularly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create a whitelist for a private server that only allows certain players to access the server. The approved usernames are stored in a corresponding server file<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Protect your Hytale multiplayer server with a password that must be entered each time you log in<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Progress and Save File<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Hytale multiplayer, progress is saved on the respective server. This means that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/hytale-structures\/\">buildings<\/a>, inventories, characters, and any changes to the world are permanently preserved. At least as long as the server continues to operate. In a privately opened world, the save file with all data is located on the host&#8217;s computer. With a dedicated Hytale server, the data is also stored directly on the server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hytale worlds can always be backed up and transferred. This makes it possible to move a locally played world to a dedicated server at a later date. However, it is important to ensure that the server files are transferred correctly. Regular backups are highly recommended to prevent data loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Many Players in Hytale Multiplayer are Possible?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no fixed maximum number of players that applies to all Hytale multiplayer servers. The number of players who can play together on a server depends on various factors. The most important factors are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>the performance of the server hardware<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the available RAM<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the number of mods installed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the size and complexity of the world<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>which Hytale server package was chosen from a game server host<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The more players are active and playing at the same time, the higher the load on the server. For a small group of friends, a few gigabytes of RAM are often sufficient. Large communities or public servers require correspondingly more powerful hardware. Server operators can also choose the maximum number of players allowed to join.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More and More in Hytale: Multiplayer and Mods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A major difference between Hytale and other games is that Hytale relies heavily on server-side modding. This means that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/how-do-i-add-mods-to-my-hytale-server\/\">mods<\/a> are installed on the respective server and not every single player has to download additional mod files. When entering the Hytale server, the client automatically loads all the necessary content. This approach is intended to prevent players from having to install different versions or incompatible clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class='hint hint--brand'><p><strong>Attention!<\/strong>In the early access version of Hytale, some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/hytale-modding\/\">modding<\/a> tools are still under development, but the basic system is already functional.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Performance and Lags<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you experience delays, stuttering, or other lags in Hytale multiplayer, there can be many different causes. One of the most common causes is high latency. This describes the time it takes for data to travel from the player to the server and back. The further away the server is from the player geographically, the higher the latency can be. Insufficient server performance can also lead to performance issues. Too little RAM or an overloaded CPU can cause the server to not respond quickly enough to player actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mods can also affect the performance of the Hytale server, especially if they contain a lot of additional mechanics or scripts. A powerful server and a stable internet connection are crucial for a smooth Hytale multiplayer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1769090220392\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Do I have to manually install mods to play on a modded Multiplayer Hytale server?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No, thanks to the server-based architecture, your Hytale client automatically downloads all the necessary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/how-do-i-add-mods-to-my-hytale-server\/\">mods<\/a> and content when you connect to Hytale multiplayer.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1769090233149\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>What happens to my progress if the host of a private multiplayer world goes offline?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">In a private world in Hytale multiplayer via a share code, all players are disconnected as soon as the host closes the game.

What does \u2018Multiplayer\u2019 Even Mean in Hytale? Multiplayer simply means that several players can be in the same game world at the same time and play together. In Hytale multiplayer, this can happen in two ways: A player opens their own world to friends You play on a private Hytale server It is important to understand that in Hytale, every world technically runs on a \u2018server\u2019.
