How to Make Yourself Admin (OP) in Hytale

How to Make Yourself Admin (OP) in Hytale

To use cheat commands, change gamemodes, or ban players on your Hytale server, you need to have Operator (OP) status. By default, even the server owner does not have these permissions until they are manually granted via the console.

In this guide, you will learn how to give yourself or trusted players admin rights.

Step 1: Access the Server Console

Since you cannot run admin commands in-game yet (without permissions), you must use the server console in your control panel.

1. Log into your MintServers game panel.
2. Select your Hytale server.
3. On the left-side menu, click on the "Console" tab.

Step 2: Run the OP Command

In the console input bar at the bottom of the screen, type the following command. Replace Your_Name with the exact name of the player.

op add Your_Name

Press Enter to send the command.

1. For example, if your in-game name is MintPlayer, you would type:

op add MintPlayer

Note: You do not need to type a forward slash (/) when using the console.

Step 3: Verify Permissions

You should see a confirmation message in the console saying the player was updated. To verify it worked:

1. Join the server in-game.
2. Try running a command to test your status:

/gamemode creative

If the command executes successfully, you have full admin access.

Step 4: How to Remove Admin Rights

If you need to revoke permissions from a player (for example, if a staff member leaves), use the remove command in the console:

op remove Your_Name

This will immediately strip the player of their ability to use admin commands.

Security Warning

Be careful who you OP! A player with OP status has full control over your server. They can ban other players, stop the server, or use commands that could damage your map. Only grant this permission to people you trust completely.
