Hytale server sign-in and Server Discovery

Every Hytale server has to be signed in to a Hytale account before players can join. Wilderack signs your server in for you, so you don’t need to do anything to play with friends. Sign it in with your own account when you want it listed in Hytale’s Server Discovery.

Why Hytale servers sign in

Hypixel requires every server to be signed in. It lets the server talk to Hytale’s services, check that each player who joins has a real account, and helps Hypixel stop abuse.

A Hytale game licence can sign in up to 500 servers, so signing in your own server costs nothing extra.

Two ways your server can be signed in

You can switch between them at any time.

Sign in with your own account

1. Make sure the server is running. Open Console in the panel.

2. Type /auth login device and press send.

3. The console shows a link and a code, like this:

   Visit: https://accounts.hytale.com/device
   Enter code: ABCD-1234
   Waiting for authorization (expires in 900 seconds)...

4. On your phone or computer, open https://accounts.hytale.com/device. Check the address bar says accounts.hytale.com before you sign in.

5. Sign in to your Hytale account and enter the code.

6. Back in the Console, you’ll see Authentication successful! Mode: OAUTH_DEVICE.

7. If your account has more than one game profile, the server asks which to use. Type /auth select 1 (or the number of the profile you want).

The code works for 900 seconds, which is 15 minutes. If it runs out, type /auth login device again for a fresh one.

Your Hytale password never goes into the panel or the console. You sign in on Hytale’s own site, and the server receives a token that only lets it run as a server for your account.

Staying signed in

• Wilderack keeps your sign-in as a secret for this server, so restarts and naps don’t sign you out.
• The server refreshes it on its own. Hytale’s sessions last one hour and renew five minutes before they end. The long-term token lasts 30 days and renews every time it’s used.
• After 30 days off or asleep, the token runs out. Wilderack’s sign-in takes over so the server still starts, and you type /auth login device again to switch back to your account.
• To check, type /auth status in the Console.

You don’t need /auth persistence on Wilderack. That command is for people who run Hytale on their own computer and want the server to save its sign-in in a file.

Sign out or switch accounts

• Switch to another account: since Update 7, you can run /auth login device while already signed in. The old sign-in stays active until the new one finishes, so a failed try changes nothing.
• Sign out: type /auth logout. Then restart the server from Overview, and Wilderack’s sign-in takes over again.

Get listed in Server Discovery

Server Discovery, added in Update 5, is the page in Hytale where players browse community servers. Players can search, filter by tags, and save favourites. Hypixel reviews every listing by hand.

1. Sign the server in with your own account, as above.
2. Create a listing. Go to your account on accounts.hytale.com, open Server Profiles and choose Create server. Add a name, a description, the server type, an audience tag (Everyone, Teen or Mature) and your regions.
3. Add your address. Hytale can verify a domain you own with a TXT record, or list a server without that check. Your free address is on Wilderack’s domain, so you can’t add a TXT record to it. Choose the listing without verification, and use the address and port from your address card. If the form only accepts an IP address, write to support@wilderack.com and we’ll tell you your server’s IP.
4. Wait for the review. The listing shows Under review, then Accepted or Denied. If it’s denied, check it against the Server Operator Policies and send it again.
5. Link the server. Once accepted, your listing card has a discovery token. Follow the steps on the card to link it. It’s a command you type in the Console as an operator.
6. Keep the server awake. A listed server checks in with Hytale every two minutes. If it goes quiet for longer, it’s hidden until it comes back. Set the server to stay awake under Settings > Sleep.

A few limits: each game profile can have one listing, and a listing stuck on Pending verification for more than 30 days is removed. Players with parent-managed Hytale accounts can’t use Server Discovery, so give them your address instead.

Rules for listed servers

Every Hytale server must follow Hypixel’s Server Operator Policies, and listed servers have extra duties:

• Rate your content honestly: the audience (All Ages, Teen or Mature) and what’s in it, such as player chat or scary themes.
• Link to a privacy policy, a refund policy and a way to contact you.
• Don’t block or break players’ official Hytale cosmetics.
• No gambling, NFTs or speculative crypto. No paid random items on All Ages servers, and published odds on Teen and Mature servers.

Breaking the rules can get a listing removed, or your account punished. The rules for server owners sum up the rest, and the full policies have every detail.
