Change your Hytale server name

Giving your server its own identity is essential so that it’s easily recognizable to your players. Whether you want to display your community’s name or simply give your world a unique title, it only takes a few seconds.

This guide will explain how to set your Hytale server name by modifying the file config.json.

Step 1: Locate your server’s config.json file

To change the display name of your server, you need to edit the main configuration file. This file config.jsonis located in the root directory of your server’s installation.

Step 2: Modify the ServerName parameter

Open the file config.jsonwith a text editor (such as Notepad++, VS Code, or Sublime Text).

You need to locate and modify the line corresponding to ServerName. Replace the existing text with the name of your choice.

Here is an example:

{
  "Version": 3,
  "ServerName": "mTxServ.com - Hytale Server",
  "MOTD": "",
  "Password": "",
  "MaxPlayers": 999,
  "MaxViewRadius": 16,
  "LocalCompressionEnabled": false,
  "Defaults": {
    "World": "default",
    "GameMode": "Adventure"
  },
  "ConnectionTimeouts": {
    "JoinTimeouts": {}
  },
  "RateLimit": {},
  "Modules": {},
  "LogLevels": {},
  "Mods": {},
  "DisplayTmpTagsInStrings": false,
  "PlayerStorage": {
    "Type": "Hytale"
  }
}

Note: Make sure to keep the quotation marks ""around your server name to respect the JSON format.

Step 3: Restart your server

After saving the changes to your file config.json, you must restart your Hytale server for the new name to take effect and be displayed in the server list.

The configurations are loaded only when the application starts.
