This quickstart guide will help you start your adventure on your Hytale Server.
Running a Hytale server comes with more responsibility than simply keeping the world online. As your community grows, so does the need for clear, consistent moderation. Whether you’re managing a small group of friends or a bustling public server, knowing how to kick, ban, and unban players is essential for maintaining a fair, safe, and enjoyable environment. This guide walks you through the core moderation tools available to Hytale server admins, explains when and why to use them, and helps you build confidence in handling disruptive behavior without disrupting the fun for everyone else.
NOTE: Only server admins or operators have permission to use these in‑game commands. If you don’t yet have admin status, check out our step‑by‑step guide here.
How to Kick, Ban, and Unban Players on your Hytale Server
You can execute these commands either through the server console or directly in-game. When entering commands in the server console, do not include the leading slash.
However, when using in-game chat, always include a slash before the command.
Log in to your Game Control Panel and navigate to your service.
Navigate to the Web-Console Tab.
To Kick Players
This command removes a player from the server but does not block them from joining again later.
Server Console:
kick <playername>
In-Game :
/kick <playername>
To Ban Players
This command blocks a player from rejoining the server until their ban is lifted. You may also include an optional reason after the player’s name to explain the ban.
Server Console:
ban <playername> [reason]
In-Game:
/ban <playername> [reason]
To Unban Players
This command lifts a player’s ban, restoring their ability to rejoin the server.
Server Console:
unban <playername>
In-Game:
/unban <playername>
By using these commands, you can efficiently manage player activity and ensure your Hytale server remains a fun, fair, and welcoming environment for all.
