Hytale World Exporter: Back up and manage Hytale worlds

3 weeks ago

Tools

The world of Hytale is huge and full of adventures. To ensure that your painstakingly built worlds are not lost due to technical errors or data loss, a reliable backup system is essential. Here comes the Hytale World Exporter into play, a small desktop application designed specifically to make backing up and restoring your game saves as easy as possible.

How can you back up your Hytale worlds?

The Hytale World Exporter is more than just a simple copying tool. It offers an intuitive user interface that works on both Windows and macOS. The highlights include:

Clear world management: View all of your worlds with details such as file size and the last played date directly in the app.
ZIP export & import: Export your worlds space-saving as a ZIP archive or restore them from a backup with a few clicks. You can optionally exclude large log files or old backups.
Integrated log viewer: Keep an overview with the built-in server log viewer, including syntax highlighting for warnings and errors.
Multilingual: The app automatically detects your system language (German or English).

Using the World Exporter, you can export and import your worlds. Additionally, Hytale automatically backs up your world in the background; here you have the option to view them and delete them if needed.

Even when you play locally, a server runs in the background. Using the log viewer, you can easily view the most recent log. Errors are automatically color-coded.

Installation and Getting Started

Getting started is quite simple. You can download the latest version of the application directly from the GitHub Releases page. Windows users can simply start the program. All macOS users must run a small command in the terminal, as the application is not signed with an Apple Developer certificate.

For the experts among you: The Hytale World Exporter is Open Source. You can therefore build the project directly from the source code, provided you have Rust and Cargo installed:

git clone https://github.com/renickbuettner/hytale-world-exporter.git
cd hytale-world-exporter
cargo run
cargo build --release
