Hytale Server Performance Guide
How to optimize your Hytale server for better performance — view radius, RAM, and JVM flags.
MaxViewRadius (Most Important)
The default MaxViewRadius: 32 is very high and uses the most RAM. Reduce to 12 (384 blocks) for production servers:
"MaxViewRadius": 12This is roughly equivalent to Minecraft's view-distance 24.
JVM Flags
Recommended startup:
java -Xms4G -Xmx4G -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:AOTCache=HytaleServer.aot -jar HytaleServer.jar --assets Assets.zip-Xms4G -Xmx4G— 4GB RAM (adjust based on player count)-XX:+UseG1GC— G1 garbage collector-XX:AOTCache=HytaleServer.aot— Faster startup with AOT cache
Per-World Settings
Keep IsUnloadingChunks: true in world configs — this lets the server free memory for inactive chunks.
Monitor Performance
Use /tps in-game to check server tick rate and /ping for latency.
