How to Become OP on a Hytale Server

Introduction

You have just created your Hytale server and want to gain administrator rights? This comprehensive guide explains step by step how to become OP (Operator) on your Hytale server and access all administrative commands.


What is OP status?

OP (Operator) status on Hytale gives you full administrative rights on your server. As an OP, you have access to all commands and game features, essential for effectively managing your server.

  • Access to all administrator commands
  • Ability to spawn items and creatures
  • Player management (kick, ban, mute)
  • Server and permission configuration

Method 1: Via the server console

The simplest method to become OP is to use your server's console. This method is recommended for initial setup.

Step 1: Access your control panel

Log in to your HytaleServ hosting panel and access your server console.

Step 2: Make sure you are logged in-game

The player who will receive the OP status must be logged into the server for the command to work.

Step 3: Enter the OP command

In the console, type the following command replacing with your player name:

/op <player_name>

Step 4: Check the status

If the command was successful, you will receive the message "You have been made an operator" in-game. You now have administrator rights!

Important note: The player must be logged into the server at the time you execute the command. If not, the command will not work.


Method 2: In-game (if you are already OP)

If you are already OP on the server, you can grant this status to other players directly from the in-game chat:

/op <player_name>

This method is convenient for quickly adding other administrators without going through the console.


Solo Mode

In solo mode (local game), you can simply use the following command in chat to become the administrator of your world:

/op @s

Once OP, here are the most useful commands to manage your Hytale server:
