Introduction

Every player on a Hytale game server is internally identified by a UUID, also known as a Universally Unique Identifier. This identifier is permanent and does not change, even if the player later changes their username.

UUIDs are needed for various administrative tasks such as managing permissions, assigning groups, or referencing players in server commands and configuration files.

Info

Early Access Notice Hytale was released on January 13, 2026, and is currently in Early Access. Since the game is still in active development, server software, configuration files, modding support, and installation processes may continue to change.
