How scoring works

The editor score is a simple sum. Each category is scored from 0 up to its maximum points, then we add them together to get a final score out of 100. The sections inside each server card mirror these same categories, so the rubric and the review topics match one to one. For vanilla Hytale servers, scoring rewards small gameplay footprint, transparent rules, and fair monetization, so “vanilla-first” stays meaningful. Scores are refreshed when a listing is re-checked, so the score and the “last checked” date are designed to stay aligned. A high score is about clarity and restraint, not popularity.

Exclusion rules (must pass)

  • No pay-to-win: no progression advantages sold for money.
  • Clear vanilla-first statement: changes and additions must be disclosed.
  • Public rules: griefing, PvP, resets, and moderation expectations.
  • Contact exists: at least an active Discord or website.
  • Verifiable access: IP and availability can be checked (we show “last checked”).

Editor score (0 to 100)

  • 35 Vanilla purity
  • 20 Fairness and no P2W
  • 15 Stability and last checked
  • 15 Rules and moderation
  • 10 Community and longevity
  • 5 Transparency

Vanilla Hytale server FAQ

Definitions stay simple on purpose, so “vanilla” remains useful as a label and not just a marketing word. If you are comparing vanilla Hytale servers, focus on gameplay footprint and fairness, then verify rules and monetization before you join. The goal is that you can read a server card fast and understand what is preserved, what is moderated, and what is changed. If a listing is vague about rules or monetization, treat it as unverified until it is clarified.

What is a vanilla Hytale server?

A vanilla Hytale server focuses on base gameplay and avoids changes that significantly alter progression, balance, loot, or economy. Some servers may still run minimal quality-of-life and moderation tooling, as long as it is disclosed and does not rewrite the core experience.

Vanilla vs semi-vanilla

Semi-vanilla usually adds convenience systems. In this vanilla Hytale servers list, we prefer vanilla-first servers and we document any gameplay footprint clearly per server.

Do you accept pay-to-win servers?

No. Pay-to-win fails the exclusion rules and is not listed.

How do you verify a server is vanilla-first?

We look for a clear vanilla-first statement, public rules, a monetization policy, and a gameplay footprint that does not replace core survival with menus and paid shortcuts. We also track a last-checked date for join info and listing details.

What is Hytale in simple terms?

Hytale is a sandbox adventure game built to support both vanilla gameplay and deep modding. That is why the vanilla-first label matters: it signals servers that try to keep the base survival loop intact.

Who runs this site?

VanillaHytaleServers.com is curated by editors who also run a vanilla server directory for Minecraft: vanillaminecraftservers.net. The goal is clarity and comparability for players searching for vanilla Hytale servers.

Can I suggest a server?

Yes. Send the server name, IP, region, language, and links to rules and monetization policy. If it passes the exclusion rules, we review it for a chance to be featured here.

If you want to be listed, make it easy for us to verify the server’s vanilla gameplay footprint, rules, stability, and monetization policy.
