Hytale is in Early Access and updates often. Each update can change what mods rely on, so a mod that worked yesterday can fail after an update.
A routine for every update
- Back up first
Take a backup from the panel before the server updates.
- Update, then read the console
After the update, start the server and watch for mod errors.
- Remove what breaks
Move failing mods out of
mods/so the server can start, and tell your players which features are paused. - Reinstall updated versions
When the authors publish updates, replace the old files and restart.
You can't simply stay on the old version: client and server must be on the exact same protocol version, so players who updated their game can't join an outdated server.
