Hytale Server Manager

A small Java command-line utility for managing Hytale servers. It provides an easy way to keep your Hytale server up to date and manages versions between patchlines.

Features

• Authenticates with Hytale's official servers to download the latest server versions.
• Automatically updates your server to the latest version within a specified patchline.
• Simple command-line interface for ease of use.

Usage

To use the Hytale Server Manager, run the following command:

java -jar Hytale-Server-Manager-<version>-all.jar [options]

NOTE: Replace <version> with the actual version number of the JAR file.

Options

Option	Arguments	Description	Default
--help	—	Display help information about the command-line options.	false
--printServerHelp	—	Print help information specific to the Hytale server.	false
--patchline	<patchline>	Specify the patchline to use (e.g., release, pre-release).	release
--skipUpdate	—	Skip the update check and proceed with the existing server version.	false

Examples

# Start the server with default patchline and update
java -jar Hytale-Server-Manager-1.0-all.jar

# Start the server using the pre-release patchline
java -jar Hytale-Server-Manager-1.0-all.jar --patchline pre-release

# Start the server without checking for updates
java -jar Hytale-Server-Manager-1.0-all.jar --skipUpdate

Prerequisites

• JDK 25 or higher
  • This is needed because Hytale uses Java 25.
