How much RAM does a Hytale server use?

Hytale Server RAM usage is not officially known yet. Based on currently available pre-launch information, Hytale supports a more traditional server hosting model similar to other sandbox games. For most standard hosting situations, 4GB of RAM is expected to cover the majority of servers, with additional memory recommended for modded servers or larger communities. This calculator helps estimate RAM usage based on world size, mods, and players.

Why is this only an estimate?

This is only an estimate because many aspects of Hytale server hosting are still subject to change. Final server software, optimization levels, modding complexity, and player behavior will all play a role in determining real-world RAM usage once the game is fully released. As with any moddable sandbox game, memory usage can vary depending on how the server is configured.

How to reduce Hytale server RAM usage?

Once Hytale servers are available, reducing RAM usage will likely involve optimizing world settings, limiting unnecessary background systems, and carefully managing mods or scripts. Keeping player counts appropriate for your server size and avoiding overly complex or unoptimized content can also help reduce memory strain. Our control panel will allow users to easily adjust server settings and resources without needing advanced technical knowledge.

What are the Hytale server requirements?

Hytale server requirements aren't yet fully determined, but the estimated minimum is 4GB of RAM, with 4GB+ being much more optimal for most people.

For larger networks and servers with many players, it might make sense to opt for a Dedicated Server for maximum performance and control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our 4GB Hytale sever hosting plan is expected to be suitable for small servers, private worlds, or testing environments. Based on current information, 4GB is considered the estimated minimum requirement for running a Hytale server and should comfortably support a small number of players with default settings.
While official server requirements are not yet finalized, the average Hytale server is expected to run well on 4-6GB of RAM. This should cover most small to medium servers without heavy modifications. Larger communities or custom content may require additional memory.
When using Pine Hosting game servers, you can upgrade or downgrade your server resources at any time. This allows you to start with a smaller Hytale server and easily scale your RAM as your player base grows or your server becomes more demanding.
Hytale is being designed with modding and scripting support in mind. While exact details for modding Hytale servers are still emerging, it's expected that servers running custom mods or scripts will require more RAM than vanilla Hytale servers, depending on complexity and player activity.
Modded Hytale servers are expected to use more RAM than standard servers. While requirements will vary, servers running multiple mods, custom game modes, or complex scripting may need 6GB+ of RAM to ensure smooth performance.
Once server software is fully available, RAM usage can likely be reduced by optimizing your Hytale world settings, limiting unnecessary scripts or mods, and keeping player counts appropriate for your server size. Proper configuration can significantly improve performance and stability.
If a server exceeds its allocated RAM, performance issues such as lag or crashes may occur. Upgrading your RAM through Pine Hosting's control panel can instantly resolve these issues and improve server stability.
Yes. As with most multiplayer sandbox games, Hytale servers will benefit from fast, dedicated CPU cores, especially when running custom content, large worlds, or higher player counts.
Absolutely. Many server owners start with a small configuration and scale their server as their community grows. Pine Hosting makes it easy to adjust RAM and other resources without needing to reinstall or wipe your server.
For large servers, custom networks, or high player counts, a Dedicated Server can offer better performance, reliability, and full control over resources. This is ideal for communities planning long-term growth.
Hytale is expected to support highly customizable game modes through its built-in scripting and modding systems. Servers running custom mechanics, mini-games, or unique gameplay experiences may require additional RAM and CPU resources depending on complexity.
The number of players a Hytale server can support will depend on available resources, server configuration, and world complexity. Smaller servers with 4-6GB of RAM should handle a modest number of players, while larger servers may need additional resources to maintain performance.
Yes. Larger or more complex worlds can increase RAM and CPU usage, especially if many areas are active at the same time. Managing active regions and limiting unnecessary background activity can help improve server performance.
Yes. Using SSD storage can significantly improve world loading times, reduce lag during player movement, and improve overall server responsiveness. All Pine Hosting servers use fast SSD storage for optimal performance.
It is not yet fully known how Hytale servers will handle multiple worlds. Depending on how the official server software is designed, servers may be able to host more than one world or game mode. Running multiple worlds would likely require additional RAM and CPU resources to maintain stable performance.
