To setup a player with admin access for Hytale, you will first need [https://www.survivalservers.com/wiki/index.php?title=FTP_Access FTP Access] and a text editor. For the latter, we strongly recommend Notepad++, which can be found here: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/
To give yourself admin (OP) access in Hytale, you can use either the console command method or manually edit the permissions file.
 
=== Method 1: Console Command (Easiest) ===
 
# Join your server with the account you want to make admin
# Open the server console in your control panel
# Type: <code>op add [username]</code>
# If successful, you will see: "[username] is now an operator!"
 
'''Note:''' The player must be online for the username method to work. Use the UUID method below for offline players.
 
=== Method 2: Edit permissions.json ===
 
'''Step 1: Stop your server'''
 
Make sure your server is stopped before editing configuration files, or your changes may be overwritten.
 
'''Step 2: Locate your Player UUID'''
 
* Open your server's File Manager
* Navigate to: <code>universe/players/</code>
* You'll see files named with UUIDs (e.g., <code>34ef6c2d-13be-3de0-ba01-6bca1d9af96b.json</code>)
* Open each .json file to view the username and find which UUID belongs to which player
* Alternatively, run <code>/uuid</code> in-game to see your own UUID
 
'''Step 3: Edit permissions.json'''
 
Open or create the <code>permissions.json</code> file in your server's root directory and add your UUID:


1. Log into your FTP client using the info on your control panel<br />
2. Once logged in, open the Config folder and edit the '''configuration.ini file'''<br />

<pre>
<pre>
    "Admins": {
{
          "$id": "4",
"users": {
          "System.String": {
  "YOUR-UUID-HERE": {
              "$type": "System.Collections.Generic.List`1[[System.String, mscorlib]], mscorlib",
"groups": [ "OP" ]
              "$values": []
  }
                          }
},
              },
"groups": {
  "Default": [],
  "OP": [ "*" ]
}
}
</pre>
</pre>
4. Now that you have that located, you will want to find either your in game player name or steam UID<br />
 
: You can find your UID here: [https://steamidfinder.com/ SteamUIDFinder]<br />. Alternatively, you can also use your player name.
Replace <code>YOUR-UUID-HERE</code> with your actual UUID (e.g., <code>34ef6c2d-13be-3de0-ba01-6bca1d9af96b</code>).
5. Next setup the admin area like such<br />
 
<pre>
'''Step 4: Start your server'''
    "Admins": {
 
        "$id": "4",
After saving the file, start your server for the changes to take effect.
        "System.String": {
 
            "$type": "System.Collections.Generic.List`1[[System.String, mscorlib]], mscorlib",
=== For Singleplayer ===
            "$values": [
 
                "76561198054903532"

                      ]
 
                        }

</pre>
Once you have OP status:
: If you are adding more than one Admin, make sure to add a comma between the quotation marks.
* Type <code>/help</code> in chat to see all available commands

How to OP Yourself in Hytale

To give yourself admin (OP) access in Hytale, you can use either the console command method or manually edit the permissions file.

Method 1: Console Command (Easiest)

  1. Join your server with the account you want to make admin
  2. Open the server console in your control panel
  3. Type: op add [username]
  4. If successful, you will see: "[username] is now an operator!"

Note: The player must be online for the username method to work. Use the UUID method below for offline players.

Method 2: Edit permissions.json

Step 1: Stop your server

Make sure your server is stopped before editing configuration files, or your changes may be overwritten.

Step 2: Locate your Player UUID

  • Open your server's File Manager
  • Navigate to: universe/players/
  • You'll see files named with UUIDs (e.g., 34ef6c2d-13be-3de0-ba01-6bca1d9af96b.json)
  • Open each .json file to view the username and find which UUID belongs to which player
  • Alternatively, run /uuid in-game to see your own UUID

Step 3: Edit permissions.json

Open or create the permissions.json file in your server's root directory and add your UUID: 

{
"users": {
  "YOUR-UUID-HERE": {
	"groups": [ "OP" ]
  }
},
"groups": {
  "Default": [],
  "OP": [ "*" ]
}
}

Replace YOUR-UUID-HERE with your actual UUID (e.g., 34ef6c2d-13be-3de0-ba01-6bca1d9af96b).

Step 4: Start your server

After saving the file, start your server for the changes to take effect.

For Singleplayer

Use /op self in chat to become an admin on your own world.

Once you have OP status:

  • Type /help in chat to see all available commands
  • Clicking a command will show what it does, how to use it, and a button to send it to chat
