How to Set a Password on a Hytale Server

Note

Stop your server before making changes to configuration files, otherwise they will be overwritten by the server.

How to Set a Password

Stop the Server
Stop your server via the management panel.
Open the Configuration File
Connect to your server via SFTP and open the config.json file in the root directory.
Set the Password
Find the Password setting and set your desired password:
json
```
"Password": "YourPassword123"
```
Tip
Check the file with a JSON formatter like JSONLint after editing — a single missing or extra comma is enough to stop the server from loading the configuration.
Start the Server
Start your server for the changes to take effect.

Players will now need to enter the password to join the server.

To remove the password, set the value to empty:

json

"Password": ""

Note

A password is a simple alternative to the whitelist. You can share the password with friends without having to add each one to the whitelist.
