Before the Hytale Server works, a few things need to be configured in the control panel (https://minecraft-panel.nl). These steps are described below.
- Start the Hytale serve;
- A prompt will appear with an authorization code; click on the top link and log in with your Hytale account. The server will then automatically continue starting up;

- Once the server has started, you will need to authorize again. You can do this with the command:
auth login device. After this, follow the same process as the previous step (step 2). Click the link and verify. You will then receive a notification regarding saving the "Credentials.";WARNING: Credentials stored in memory only - they will be lost on restart!
To persist credentials, run: /auth persistence <type>
Available types: Memory, Encrypted - Once you are authorized, we need to save the authorization token locally on the server. This ensures you don't have to perform this step every time the server starts. This can be done with the command:
auth persistence Encrypted;[2026/01/15 18:03:57 INFO] [CommandManager] Console executed command: auth persistence Encrypted
>....[2026/01/15 18:03:57 INFO] [ServerAuthManager] Swapped credential store to: EncryptedAuthCredentialStoreProvider
Credential storage changed to: Encrypted
After this, the server is ready and you can play on it. Have fun playing!
