Hytale Server Requirements Guide - RAM & CPU for Different Player Counts

If you want your Hytale server to feel smooth, stable, and professional, you need the right server specs. Many servers fail because the owner chooses a cheap plan that cannot handle mods, player count, or complex worlds.

What Determines Server Performance?

Hytale performance depends on:

Player count online at once
World generation and load complexity
Combat events and entity density
Mods and custom scripts
Tick rate settings and simulation distance

If players experience rubber banding, delays, or desync combat, your CPU is too weak or settings are too aggressive.

RAM Requirements for Hytale Servers

Vanilla Servers

Vanilla servers scale predictably with fewer scripts and stable memory usage.

Recommended vanilla server RAM:

10 players: 4GB
25 players: 8GB
50 players: 12GB
100 players: 16–24GB

Modded Servers

Mods add new mobs, item systems, custom storage/crafting, UI systems, and scripted features.

Recommended modded server RAM:

10 players: 6GB
25 players: 10GB
50 players: 16GB
100 players: 24–32GB

Pro Tip: If your server is heavy RPG modded, don't go below 16GB once you're public.

CPU Requirements (Most Important!)

RAM is easier to upgrade. CPU is the real limit.

What matters most:

Single-core performance
High clock speed (3.5+ GHz)
Stable load handling

Important: If you host a PvP server, CPU matters more than RAM.

Storage Requirements

SSD vs HDD

Always use SSD. If possible, use NVMe SSD for maximum speed.

World saving and chunk loading needs fast storage.

Recommended storage:

Small server: 20–40GB
Medium server: 60–100GB
Large modded server: 100GB+

Bandwidth Requirements

For public servers, pick hosting with:

Unlimited bandwidth or generous caps
Stable network routing
DDoS protection included

Specs by Server Type

Survival Community Server

25 players: 8GB RAM, mid-range CPU
50 players: 12–16GB, strong CPU

PvP Server

Prioritize CPU first
Lower mod count
Focus on fast single-core performance

RPG / Modded Server

Prioritize both RAM + CPU
Avoid cheap plans
Plan for future growth
