In this article we are going to go over the common files and folders and what purpose they serve on your Hytale server.

What does the file structure look like? 

Path/File Description
.cache/ This is a folder for optimized files and in most cases this folder can be left alone.
logs/ All server logs files will be stored in this folder.
mods/ This is the folder where mod jar/zip files would be placed.
universe/ Inside this folder there will be a worlds directory, and this is the location where all playable worlds on the server will be stored.
bans.json This is the file where all banned players will have their username/ID saved once banned.
config.json This is the main server configuration file that will house all core settings for the server.
permissions.json This will be where you can set additional permissions beyond defaults for specified users.
whitelist.json This will be where you can whitelist players that can join. (Only allow set users to join) others not on the list will not be permitted to join.

Conclusion

Those are going to be the most common files and folders that you will need to interact with for managing your Hytale server. While some aspects will be manageable thought commands, such as managing the whitelist and banned players, sometimes you will need to edit files manually.
