Commands in Hytale let you manage players, run backups, and control your server without touching files. If you're running a public server, learning the basics like banning, kicking and whitelisting will save you a lot of time.
Almost all of the admin commands require you to be OP first. If a command does nothing, it usually means you do not have permission.
Getting Admin Permissions
| Command | Description |
| /op self | Gives yourself admin permissions. Run again to remove. |
| /op <player> | Gives (or removes) admin permissions for another player. |
| /help | Shows the full command list available on your server build. |
| <command> -help | Shows subcommands and parameters for a specific command. |
Player Moderation
| Command | Description |
| /kick <player> | Kicks a player from the server. |
| /ban <player> | Bans a player from the server. |
| /unban <player> | Unbans a player from the server. |
| /whitelist | Manage the server whitelist (add/remove/enable/disable/list depending on your build). |
| /sudo <player> <command> | Runs a command as another player. |
Permissions & Authentication
NOTE: Permission features can vary depending on server build and installed plugins.
| Command | Description |
| /perm | Main permissions command for groups and users. |
| /auth status | Shows the server authentication status. |
| /auth login | Starts the server authentication flow (method depends on build). |

Server Control
NOTE: Always stop the server cleanly before making manual config changes, otherwise the server can overwrite files while running.
