Hytale Server Query Test

Test if your Hytale server is online and accessible. Check player count, server name, version, and response time.

Enter your server's IP address or domain name.
Leave empty for SRV lookup.
Auto-Detect tries all protocols. Select a specific one if you know which plugin your server uses.

Supported Query Plugins

To display player counts, version info, and server name on our list, your server needs one of these query plugins installed. Without a plugin, we can only check if the port is open (basic online/offline).

Recommended
PingProtocol

Implements the Minecraft Server List Ping protocol over TCP. Easiest to set up -- just install and go.

  • Protocol: TCP on game port
  • Default port: 5520
  • Returns: players, version, MOTD, favicon
  • Setup: Install, no extra config needed
Get on CurseForge
Advanced
OneQuery

UDP-based query with challenge-token handshake. Supports multi-server networks with Redis aggregation.

  • Protocol: UDP on game port
  • Default port: 5520
  • Returns: players, version, MOTD, player list
  • Extras: network mode, auth tokens

HyQuery

OneQuery-compatible UDP protocol by Hyvote. Includes built-in rate limiting and response caching.

  • Protocol: UDP on game port
  • Default port: 5520
  • Returns: players, version, MOTD, player list
  • Extras: rate limiting, HMAC auth

No plugin? Without a query plugin, we can only perform a basic TCP connection check. Your server will show as online/offline but we won't be able to display player counts, version, or server name.
Troubleshooting

  • Make sure port 5520 (or your custom port) is open in your firewall
  • If using a domain with SRV records, leave the port field empty
  • Check that your server is not behind a proxy that blocks query connections
  • Some hosting providers block external ping/query requests

SRV (Service) records allow you to point a domain to your server with a specific port without the player needing to type it. If you use SRV records, leave the port field empty and we'll automatically resolve it via DNS.

  • PingProtocol is recommended for most servers -- it's the easiest to set up (just install, no configuration needed) and provides all the data server lists need.
  • OneQuery is better for advanced setups, especially multi-server networks using Redis aggregation. It uses UDP and includes player list pagination.
  • HyQuery is OneQuery-compatible with added rate limiting and response caching. Good if you want extra protection against query spam.
  • You only need one of these plugins. If unsure, go with PingProtocol.

No, a query plugin is not required to list your server. Without one, your server will still appear on the list and players can vote -- we just won't be able to show live player counts, version info, or server name. We'll only be able to check if your server is online or offline via a basic TCP connection test.
