Importing existing player data into your Hytale server is an essential step when you’re migrating from another host, restoring a backup, or preparing a world that players have already invested time in. Player data contains everything that makes each player’s experience unique: inventory, stats, progression, permissions, and sometimes even custom attributes, so bringing it over correctly ensures a smooth transition without lost progress or corrupted profiles. This guide walks you through the process of locating, preparing, and transferring player data into your Hytale server environment. You’ll learn where player files are stored, how to verify compatibility with your server setup, and the safest way to import them so your community can pick up right where they left off. Whether you’re managing a small private server or a large multiplayer world, understanding this workflow helps maintain continuity and keeps your players’ experience intact.
(NOTE: This guide focuses solely on uploading player data to a server. For instructions on uploading worlds, please refer to our separate guide.)
