How to make yourself an operator, use the whitelist and ban players on your Hytale server

You manage players with commands. Send them on the Console tab of your server (type the command at the bottom and press Send), or in the game's chat once you're an operator. Hytale's commands start with /.

Making yourself an operator

1. Sign in to the control panel at panel.chicagoservers.co and open your Hytale server.
2. Join your server in the game, so you are online.
3. On the Console tab, send /op add YourName, with your Hytale username.

Operators can use every command in the game. /op remove YourName takes it away.

The whitelist

• /whitelist add Name and /whitelist remove Name: who may join.
• /whitelist enable: only players on the whitelist can join. /whitelist disable lets everyone in again.
• /whitelist list: who is on it.

Add yourself before you turn the whitelist on.

Kicking and banning

• /kick Name: removes a player from the server. They can join again.
• /ban Name and /unban Name: keeps a player out for good, or lets them back in.
• /who: lists the players online. (The Players count at the top of the server's page stays empty for Hytale, so use this.)

Other useful commands

• /say message: a message to everyone on the server.
• /gamemode creative Name or /gamemode adventure Name: changes one player's game mode.
• /auth status: whether the server is signed in to Hytale.

For groups and permissions there are the /perm commands. They work with players' UUIDs, which a player sees with /whoami in the game. The whitelist, permissions and bans are also files on the Configs tab (whitelist.json, permissions.json, bans.json), but the commands are safer than editing them.
