I built a community server directory for Hytale — here's the story

Hytale launched into early access in January 2026 and nearly 3 million players jumped in. Servers started spinning up everywhere, but there was no proper central directory for players to find them or for server owners to get their communities discovered.
So I built one.

What is it?
HytaleGameServers.net is a community-driven server listing platform built specifically for Hytale. Think of it as a hub where players can discover servers and server owners can get visibility.

What it does

• Browse & search servers by category, game mode, country, and version
• Live server status with real-time player counts
• Daily voting — community votes drive the rankings, not who pays the most
• Server profiles with descriptions, banners, social links, and connection info
• Server analytics — owners can see views, votes, connection copies, and social link clicks
• 21+ community guides covering everything from setting up your first server to growing your playerbase
• SEO-optimised listing pages so your server actually shows up in Google searches

Why I built it
When early access dropped, I looked around and the existing server lists were either template sites with no real features, or run by people who just wanted to push their own servers. I wanted to create something that's clean, well-engineered, and built with the community in mind from day one.
The whole thing is a solo project. I've been coding since 2016 and this is the biggest thing I've shipped.

What's next
The platform is live and growing. Servers that list early get a permanent Founding Server badge on their listing — a visible mark that they were here from the beginning.
I'm actively building out new features based on community feedback, including sponsored listing slots via auction and more promotion tools for server owners.

If you're into Hytale, have a look. If you run a server, get your listing up. And if you have feedback or feature requests, I'm all ears.
