About The Game★
What is Hytale?
Hytale is Hypixel Studios' voxel sandbox adventure RPG, mixing block building, exploration, combat and minigames with a heavy focus on community creation and modding. It entered Early Access on January 13, 2026.
Hytale supports player-run dedicated servers, so you can host a private world for friends, a public community server or a heavily modded build with your own rules, whitelist and permissions. Servers run on Java 25, listen on UDP port 5520 over QUIC by default, and load mods placed in a mods folder.
ChicagoServers hosts Hytale on dedicated hardware in Chicago with free DDoS protection. Hytale requires each server to authenticate with a Hytale account, and our 24/7 support team can help if you get stuck. Because the game is in Early Access and updates often, it is worth making a backup before each update.
