How to Install Pre-Release Versions On Your Hytale Server
Sometimes waiting for the official release is overrated. Pre-release versions of Hytale let you poke at upcoming features, test changes early, and generally satisfy that “I want it now” itch. They are not always stable, they might do something weird, and yes, that is part of the deal. This guide walks you through how to install a pre-release version on your Hytale server so you can experiment without guessing where the buttons are.
Using the Control Panel
Navigate to your Nodecraft Dashboard.
Click the Panel button for your Hytale server.
Stop your server.
Locate and click Installer in the menu on the left side, under Server Files.
Under Catalog at the bottom, click Install next to Hytale Pre-Release.
Choose the Install Method you would like, then click Install.
Once the installation is complete, click Close.
Start your server.
Conclusion
And that is it. Your server is now running a pre-release version of Hytale, complete with shiny new changes and the occasional surprise. If things break, congratulations, you found a pre-release bug. If everything works, enjoy feeling slightly ahead of everyone else. When you are done testing or just want things to behave again, you can switch back to a stable version anytime. Until then, have fun and maybe keep backups handy.
