Running a Server: /give, /kit, and Permissions
How admins hand out items on Hytale servers — copy-paste /give commands with correct item ids, kit setup, and which permission nodes to grant.
Server admins use the same item ids the crafting database uses. If a /give command fails, the item id is wrong — copy it from an item page instead of typing it.
/give basics
- Syntax: /give <item_id> <quantity> — e.g. /give iron_ingot 10.
- Ids are kebab-free lowercase with underscores (copper_ingot, cobalt_pickaxe).
- Quantity caps at the item stack size.
/kit for player drops
Kits are server-configured bundles (starter, copper, iron are common presets). Players redeem them with /kit <name>; the kit contents live in your server config, not in the client.
Permission nodes
- hytale.commands.give — admin only. Full item access is a griefing risk.
- hytale.commands.kit — safe to grant to all players if your kits are balanced.
- hytale.commands.teleport — staff-only on survival servers.
Balancing a starter kit? Cost it out in the calculator first so new players get enough copper for a pickaxe — not a full armory.
