Local saves can be transferred to and from Hytale servers freely, allowing users to continue their progress made before purchasing a server. Uploading a save is a great way to include more players, or enjoy the benefits that come with a dedicated server, such as 24/7 uptime, easy-to-use server configuration, and responsive support. Uploading a save to a server transfers all player progression, buildings, and world settings, ensuring that no progress is lost. Additionally, mods installed on the world can be transferred through a seperate folder.

Note: The first section will replace the current save on the server. For steps on uploading a world without replacing the current save, click here.
