Getting Started With Hytale
Welcome to the next generation of sandbox gaming! ValueGameNode provides high-performance, low-latency hosting specifically optimized for Hytale’s unique engine. Our CUSTOM Pterodactyl-powered panel makes managing your world, scripts, and players effortless.
🚀 Getting Started: Your First Launch
Because Hytale requires a valid game license to run a server, the initial setup involves a two-step authentication process via the official Hytale services.
Step 1: Claiming Your Server Files
When you start your server for the first time, it needs to download the official engine files directly from Hytale.
-
Log in to the ValueGameNode Panel.
-
Select your Hytale server and click Start.
-
Monitor the Console. You will see a message providing a unique link or code.
-
Open the link in your browser and log in with your official Hytale account (the account must own the game).
-
Once confirmed, the server will automatically download the necessary files and folders.
Step 2: Device Authentication
Once the files are ready, you must authorize the server "device" to allow it to communicate with the Hytale master list.
-
In the server Console, type the following command:
auth login device -
The console will generate a new authentication link.
-
Click the link and confirm the connection in your browser.
-
Once the console displays "Authentication Successful", your server is online and ready for players!
