The startup options of our Hytale servers

Reviewed October 26, 2026 1 min read

Our Hytale servers start with a set of options that map to the official server's startup arguments. Here's what each one means.

The options

Auth Mode

authenticated (default) or offline. See the article on authenticated vs offline mode.

Patchline

Which update channel the server follows: release by default, or pre-release.

Allow operators

Whether operators are allowed on the server (the official --allow-op argument).

Accept Early Plugins

Acknowledges that loading early plugins is unsupported and may cause stability issues (the official --accept-early-plugins).

Disable Sentry

Turns off Hytale's crash reporting (--disable-sentry). Hypixel recommends it during plugin development.

Use Ahead-of-Time Cache

Starts the server with the pre-trained AOT cache, which improves boot times.

Install Source Query plugin / Source Query Port

Optionally installs a query plugin so server-list tools can read the server's status.

Worth knowing

If an option isn't editable from your panel's Startup tab and you need it changed, open a ticket and we'll change it for you.
