What HaruHost does for you
- Java: HaruHost installs Java 25 for the server in one click, so you don't download a JDK or set paths.
- The downloader: no zip files to fetch. HaruHost runs Hytale's downloader, shows its sign-in link and installs the server.
- The start script: not needed. Server Settings sets Server Name, MOTD, Password, Max Players, Max View Radius, World Name, Game Mode and server memory.
- Port forwarding: friends join through the Tunnel with no router setup. If you forward instead, HaruHost opens the port on your router and in Windows Firewall once Auto-manage UPnP and Auto-manage Firewall are on.
- Mods: search CurseForge and add mods on the server's Mods page.
- Players: HaruHost's own server add-on shows who is online with playtime, and kicks and bans.
