How To Access Console Commands
Before you can use any command, you need to open the console or chat in Hytale:
- Launch the game and join a world or server.
- Press Enter to open the chat box.
- Type a command starting with
/to execute it.
If you don’t have Admin permission to use a command (such as server admin tools), you first need to be granted operator (OP) status with /op self in single-player or /op add [player] on servers.

Tips For Using Commands
- Use
/help [command]in-game to see syntax and parameters for many commands. - Commands are case-sensitive on some servers, and require correct parameters.
- Many commands require OP/admin permission — without it, you might get “permission denied.”
