The server crashes after a Hytale update

Reviewed October 26, 2026 1 min read

If the server worked before an update and crashes after it, a mod that hasn't been updated yet is the most likely cause.

Get back online

  1. Read the error

    The console or the newest file in logs/ usually names the mod involved.

  2. Move mods out

    Move the named mod, or all mods if nothing is named, out of mods/, then start.

  3. Add them back one by one

    Restart after each one until the crash returns; that's the culprit.

  4. Wait for its update

    Leave the broken mod out until its author releases a version for the new game version.

Worth knowing

Restoring the pre-update backup also works, but players on the new game version won't be able to join an older server.
