Running a successful community Hytale server takes more than just good hardware. You need the right tools to manage players, keep things fair, automate moderation, and create a polished multiplayer experience. Mods make all of that possible.
Below are 10 of the best Hytale mods for admins, covering permissions, protection, Discord integration, quality of life features, and server management essentials. Whether you are launching a fresh multiplayer Hytale server or upgrading an existing one, these mods will help you stay in control while keeping players happy.
1. Essentials Plus
Essentials Plus is a true all in one admin toolkit for Hytale, built to help you run a polished community Hytale server without relying on a pile of separate mods. It includes multi language support, colored and rainbow chat formatting, private messages, admin chat, permission based access, vanish, freeze tools, disposal commands, an admin shop system, a mail system with filters and spam protection, and IP ban support plus many more features we did not cover here.
If you want one plugin that makes your server feel cleaner, safer, and more professional from day one, Essentials Plus is a strong place to start.
2. LuckPerms
LuckPerms is a powerful permissions management mod that lets you create ranks, assign permissions, and control exactly what players and staff can do.
It is essential for any serious community Hytale server, especially if you plan to have moderators, helpers, or donor ranks.
3. Server List Voting Player Count
Server List Voting Player Count rewards servers that actively engage with server listing sites by syncing vote activity with your player count or in-game systems.
It helps encourage voting, improves visibility, and gives admins a way to tie server growth directly into gameplay incentives.
4. Better Modlist
Better Modlist improves how mods are displayed to players when they join your server. Instead of a cluttered or confusing list, players get a clean and readable overview.
This is especially useful on heavily modded servers where transparency and clarity matter.
5. Simple Claims
Simple Claims allows players to protect their builds by claiming land. Admins can configure claim limits, manage disputes, and prevent griefing without constant moderation.
For any public or semi public server, this mod is a must have.
6. Discord Link
Discrord Link connects your Hytale server directly to Discord.
Admins can link player accounts, sync roles, and improve moderation across both platforms. It is ideal for servers that rely heavily on Discord for communication.
7. RPG Leveling And Stats
RPG Leveling And Stats is not just for PvP focused servers. Even if your server is primarily cooperative or survival based, this mod adds long term engagement for players.
It allows players to track their overall stats, progress, and achievements, giving them clear goals to work toward. Players naturally become more invested as they try to improve their numbers, unlock milestones, and compete with friends in a friendly, non toxic way.
From an admin perspective, this mod also opens the door for custom events. You can host challenges, stat based competitions, or seasonal events where players earn rewards for reaching certain goals. These events help keep the server feeling fresh and give players reasons to return regularly, even during quieter periods.
8. PermissionsPlus
Permissions Plus adds a graphical interface for managing permissions.
Instead of editing files or running complex commands, admins can visually assign permissions and ranks, making LuckPerms much easier to manage.
9. Custom Welcome Message
First impressions matter. Custom Welcome Message lets you display a personalized message when players join your server.
Admins often use this to show rules, Discord links, commands, or server announcements right when players log in.
10. Prefixes Plus
The Prefixes Plus adds a visible prefix to chat messages based on player rank.
It helps players easily identify staff members or server supporters and adds a sense of authority and professionalism to your server.
