Choose your path
This planner gives a sane baseline for private worlds. If you push extreme builds or heavy mod stacks, add headroom.

Common challenged on Hytale worlds
You do not need perfection. You do need to avoid the obvious traps.
- Starting a long running world with zero memory headroom
- Letting mod stacks drift without consistency or rollback notes
- Growing the world footprint while keeping the same resource baseline
- Ignoring routine restarts for heavy systems and persistent sessions
- Not planning backups early for a world people care about
Local PC vs dedicated server
Honest framing. Local hosting can work for short sessions. Dedicated hosting is the safer baseline for persistent worlds and mod stacks.
| Topic | Local PC | Dedicated server |
|---|---|---|
| Stability | Depends on your machine and background load | Consistent and predictable |
| Uptime | Usually limited to when the host is online | Designed for always on worlds |
| Performance spikes | More common under builds and mod systems | Easier to manage with headroom and routines |
| Maintenance | You are the admin, always | Cleaner separation between play and operations |
| Growth | Often means pain later | Scale resources as the world grows |
FAQ
Short answers, no ceremony.
How much memory does a Hytale server need?
Player count sets the baseline. Mods and persistent worlds usually push memory first. Use the planner recommendation, then add headroom if you expect heavy systems or huge builds.
What changes the CPU requirement most?
Larger groups, heavy mod systems, and worlds that run for long periods without routine maintenance. If you see frequent spikes, CPU tier is usually the next lever after memory headroom.
Should I choose a large world footprint from day one?
Only if you know you will use it. Larger footprints tend to grow complexity and can raise long term load. Starting medium and expanding with headroom is often the calmer path.
Can I share my setup with friends or my community?
Yes. Use the share link button after you generate your recommendation. It encodes your inputs so others can open the exact same profile.
