About Hytale on Instances
Hytale has not been released, so no real server requirements exist for it yet.
The sizes below are estimates, modelled on comparable modern voxel-sandbox servers and on Hytale's own configuration schema, which allows up to 100 players and a view distance of 15. We will revisit them the moment official server requirements are published.
Four sizes, and why
Prices are for London; other regions differ by up to a quarter. You can change size later without starting a new world.

How we picked them
- These are provisional. Nothing here has been measured against a real Hytale server, because there is not one to measure yet.
- We have treated it as a modern voxel sandbox: worldgen plus entity and chunk ticking are the expected drivers, so both processor and memory scale with players and view distance.
- Two vCPU as a baseline for small groups, four for larger servers approaching the cap the schema allows.
What you can change
Set from the instance's configuration page. The limits below are the ones the server actually enforces — they're read from its own schema. Plain-English descriptions are still being written.
| Setting | What it does | Accepts |
|---|---|---|
| Server name | 4–32 characters | |
| Default port | 1024–65535 | |
| Max players | 1–100 | |
| View distance | 1–15 | |
| Auth mode | authenticated or offline | |
| Patchline | release or pre-release | |
| Download on start | On or off |
