Hytale Server Config Generator
Configure your Hytale server with real-time RAM estimation. Optimize performance and generate ready-to-use config files.
How it works: Adjust player count and view radius to see estimated RAM requirements. The calculator uses community-tested formulas to help you avoid server crashes and optimize performance.
Performance Settings
⚠️ View radius has a quadratic impact on memory usage. Doubling the radius = 4x memory.
Game Rules
Allow players to damage each other
Keep items on death
Estimated RAM
Recommended configuration. Suitable for most cloud hosts.

RAM Usage Reference Table
This table shows estimated RAM requirements based on player count and view radius combinations.
| Players \ Radius | 12 | 36 | 72 | 128 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 players | 6.2 GB | 8.0 GB | 14.0 GB | 31.3 GB |
| 10 players | 9.6 GB | 14.0 GB | 29.0 GB | 72.2 GB |
| 20 players | 15.1 GB | 24.0 GB | 54.0 GB | 140.4 GB |
| 50 players | 31.8 GB | 54.0 GB | 129.0 GB | 345.0 GB |

Server Optimization Tips
For Small Servers (1-10 players)
View radius 36-48 works well. You can run on 8GB RAM hosts affordably.
For Large Servers (50+ players)
Keep view radius under 36. Consider 32GB+ RAM with high-core CPU for stability.
Server Config FAQ
What is MaxViewRadius?
MaxViewRadius controls how far players can see. Higher values mean more chunks loaded per player, dramatically increasing RAM usage. The default is 36.
Why does view radius have quadratic impact?
View radius defines a circle around each player. The area of a circle is πr², so doubling the radius quadruples the chunks that must be loaded in memory.
How accurate is this RAM estimation?
The formula is based on community testing from the Hytale Discord. Actual usage may vary based on mods, world complexity, and server software version.
