ConfigurationThe Hytale server ships with a pre-trained ahead-of-time cache, HytaleServer.aot. Starting with it improves boot times by skipping the JIT warm-up.
How it works
Java normally spends the first moments after starting compiling the code it uses most (the «JIT warm-up»). The AOT cache, a Java feature described in JEP 514, lets the server start with much of that work already done. The official launch command is java -XX:AOTCache=HytaleServer.aot -jar HytaleServer.jar --assets Assets.zip.
On our servers
It's the «Use Ahead-of-Time Cache» startup option. Leave it on: it only affects how fast the server starts, not your world.
The cache belongs to the server version it came with. After an update the new server brings its own.
