every file your Hytale server needs to recover
Pink Narwhal skips the 3+ GB Assets.zip and server binaries that get reinstalled automatically. Only your irreplaceable data gets backed up.
Worlds
universe/worlds/
Every world on your server, including terrain data, structures, and world-specific configs. Lose nothing after a crash or bad update.
Player Data
universe/players/
Player inventories, progression, and per-player state. Restore individual player data or the entire directory after a rollback.
Server-Side Mods
mods/
All Hytale mods run server-side. Your plugins, their JARs, and any custom assets they ship with are captured in every backup.
Server Configuration
config.json
Server name, game mode, max players, view radius, module settings, and every other option. Rebuild your server from a backup in minutes.
Permissions & Access Control
permissions.json, bans.json, whitelist.json
Operator permissions, ban lists, and whitelist entries. Never manually re-enter your access control rules after a restore.
Custom Data
Any paths you choose
Add any additional files or directories to your backup. Full control over what gets captured beyond the smart defaults.
three steps. no admin access needed.
If you have panel access to your Hytale server, you have everything you need.
Connect your server
Use your Pterodactyl or Pelican API key. That is all Pink Narwhal needs. No admin access, no host cooperation, no server-side modifications.
Pick your Hytale server
Pink Narwhal detects Hytale automatically and knows which files matter. Worlds, player data, mods, configs. The smart profile handles it.
Backups run on your schedule
Set it and forget it. Hourly backups keep you covered, or trigger one manually whenever you want. Compressed and stored on Cloudflare R2.
questions Hytale server owners ask
The Hytale profile backs up your universe/ directory (all worlds and player data), server-side mods from mods/, and configuration files including config.json, bans.json, permissions.json, and whitelist.json. It skips the 3+ GB Assets.zip and server binaries that get reinstalled automatically.
No. Pink Narwhal works through the Pterodactyl client API, which Pelican also supports. If you can see your Hytale server in your Pterodactyl or Pelican panel, you can back it up. No admin access, no host cooperation required.
Yes. Backups are created while your server is live. Files are compressed on the server before download, so players can keep playing. Restores will briefly stop the server to prevent corruption, then start it back up automatically.
Much less than the full server. A Hytale server install includes a 3+ GB Assets.zip and around 250 MB of server binaries. Pink Narwhal skips all of that and only backs up your worlds, player data, mods, and configs.
Yes. Every backup includes a full file manifest. You can browse it like a file tree and selectively restore individual files or folders. Pull back a single world from universe/worlds/ or one mod from mods/ without touching anything else.
Yes. All Hytale mods run server-side. There are no client-side mods. Pink Narwhal captures the entire mods/ directory in every backup. Your plugins, their JARs, and any custom assets they include are all covered.
