Managing Multiple Worlds on a Hytale Server

Running multiple worlds on a Hytale server lets you test new ideas, host different game modes, or wipe progress without touching what your community has already built. This HolyHosting guide covers how to spin up extra worlds, pick a generator, and keep things organized using the built-in commands.

Spinning Up a New World

Hytale exposes a single command for world creation, with an optional flag if you want non-default terrain. The generators themselves are described further down.

1. Connect to your Hytale server with admin (op) permissions.
2. In chat, run `/world add [name]` and press Enter.

1. To pick a specific generator instead of the default one, run `/world add [name] --gen=[generator]`.

1. A confirmation message appears once the world is registered.

These same commands work from the server console in your control panel, which is useful when nobody is logged in or you just prefer typing without leaving the dashboard.

World Generators

Hytale ships with four generators, each built for a specific job. Pick the one that matches what you are trying to build.

• Hytale: the default procedural generator, used when no flag is passed.
• Flat: a flat world with defined layers. Options include tint and layer settings.
• Void: empty chunks with no blocks. Useful for hubs, sky islands, or anything you want to construct from scratch. Options include tint and environment.
• Dummy: lays down a single layer of unknown blocks. Strictly for testing.

Useful World Commands

Once you have more than one world online, the `/world` command tree becomes your best friend. Running `/world` on its own in chat lists every subcommand available, which is handy when you forget the syntax (no shame in that). Common needs include switching between worlds, removing one you no longer want around, or tweaking per-world settings without restarting the server.

Wrapping Up

Multi-world support is one of the things that makes a Hytale server worth running long-term. You can launch a survival save for your community, keep a creative sandbox running on the side, and still have room to test generator changes without breaking anyone's progress. With the commands above you can manage all of it directly in chat or from the control panel.
