Share codes and your IP address

Reviewed October 26, 2026 1 min read

When you open your single-player world to friends with Online Play, Hytale gives you a share code. Hypixel's support notes that the code contains your IP address, so anyone you give it to can see it.

Worth knowing

  • Only share codes with people you trust.
  • Being Hytale friends with the other player lets the game use its relay when a direct connection doesn't work.
  • Friend coordination needs outbound UDP port 3478 to be allowed on your network.
  • CGNAT and double NAT can stop friends from connecting to a world hosted at home.
With a hosted server

Players connect to the server's address in our data centre. Your home IP is never involved, and the world stays online when your PC is off.
