Hytale Server Performance Optimization

Tips and settings to optimize your Hytale dedicated server for better performance, less lag, and smoother gameplay.

Here are the best ways to optimize your Hytale server for better performance.

Schedule Daily Restarts

Regular restarts help clear memory and keep your server running smoothly.

In the sidebar, go to Schedules.

Create a new schedule with a daily restart during off-peak hours (e.g., 4:00 AM).

See our panel guides for detailed instructions on setting up schedules.

Access the XGamingServer Panel and Stop your Hytale server.

In the sidebar, go to Files. Open the config.json file.

Find MaxViewRadius and reduce it from the default 32 to a lower value like 10:

"MaxViewRadius": 10

Click Save and start your server.

Setting	Default	Recommended	Description
`MaxViewRadius`	32	10	Lower values reduce render distance, improving performance

Pregenerating chunks reduces lag when players explore new areas by generating terrain ahead of time.

Use our Plugin Browser in the sidebar or download a chunk pregeneration mod from CurseForge.

Follow the mod's instructions to pregenerate chunks around your spawn area.

💡 Tip: If you're still experiencing lag with many players, consider upgrading your server plan for more resources.
