Hytale blends adventurous exploration with deep creative freedom, and its powerful console and admin commands unlock tools that let you shape worlds, manage your own Hytale game server, and build faster than ever. Whether you're hosting your own server or fine-tuning a creative build, this guide breaks down every command you need to know in clear categories with descriptions and examples.
In this article, we’ll cover:
- How to access console commands
- Server & admin commands
- Commands usable only in Creative mode
- General and player commands
- A complete command reference table
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 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.
Server & Admin Commands
These commands are essential for server operators (admins) or anyone managing players, world state, or permissions. They can be entered from your Hytale server host console or by a player with OP privileges ingame.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| /op self | Grants admin privileges to yourself. |
| /op add [player] | Gives admin permissions to another player. |
| /op remove [player] | Removes admin permissions from a player. |
| /kick [player] | Kicks a player from the server. |
| /ban [player] --reason | Bans a player with an optional reason. |
| /unban [player] | Unbans a player. |
| /whitelist enable | Enables the whitelist. |
| /whitelist disable | Disables the whitelist. |
| /whitelist add [player] | Adds a player to the whitelist. |
| /whitelist remove [player] | Removes a player from the whitelist. |
| /backup | Creates a server backup. |
| /stop | Stops the server safely. |
| /server dump | Exports server diagnostic data. |
| /server gc | Forces garbage collection. |
| /server stats | Displays server performance statistics. |
World & Environment Commands
These commands affect the world state and are particularly useful for creative building, testing, or server management.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| /gamemode creative | Switches to Creative mode. |
| /gamemode exploration | Switches to Exploration mode. |
| /time set [value] | Sets the world time. |
| /weather [type] | Changes the weather. |
| /warp set [name] | Creates a warp point. |
| /warp go [name] | Teleports to a warp point. |
| /spawn | Teleports to spawn. |
| /tp [player] | Teleports to another player. |
| /worldmap discover | Reveals the entire map. |
Creative Mode-Exclusive Builder Commands
In Creative mode, Hytale gives builders powerful tools to manipulate blocks, selections, and structures without manually placing every voxel. These are only available (or make sense) while in Creative mode.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| /block set [x] [y] [z] [block] | Places a block at a specific location. |
| /block get [x] [y] [z] | Displays block information. |
| /block setstate | Changes the block state. |
| /copy | Copies selected blocks. |
| /paste | Pastes copied blocks. |
| /undo | Reverts the last build action. |
| /redo | Reapplies the undone action. |
| /fillblocks | Fills selected area with blocks. |
| /replace [from] [to] | Replaces blocks in the selected area. |
| /prefab save [name] | Saves a structure as a prefab. |
| /prefab load [name] | Loads a saved prefab. |
Player & Quality-of-Life Commands
These work for any player (with permission if required) and help manage individual gameplay state.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| /heal | Restores full health. |
| /inventory clear | Clears your inventory. |
| /inventory see [player] | Views another player's inventory. |
| /kill [player] | Kills a player. |
| /damage [player] | Deals damage to a player. |
| /who | Lists online players. |
| /whereami | Shows your coordinates. |
| /unstuck | Moves you to a safe location. |
These are handy for administrators and players alike to manage status or assist in debugging.
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.”
