Permissions
| Permission Node | Description |
|---|---|
hycitizens.admin | Required for all HyCitizens management commands and for opening the in-game management UI. Also required to receive the Citizen Stick item. |
Permissions must be granted through your server’s permission system (for example, LuckPerms or a similar Hytale-compatible permission manager). HyCitizens does not manage permissions itself — it only checks whether the executing player holds the required node.
Troubleshooting
Command not found / Unknown command
Command not found / Unknown command
If
/citizens returns an “unknown command” error, verify the following:- The
HyCitizensJAR file is placed in your server’smods/directory. - The HyUI dependency mod is also present in
mods/— HyCitizens requires it to render the management UI. - The server was fully restarted after adding the mod files (a reload is not sufficient).
- No errors related to HyCitizens appear in the server console on startup.
No permission / Access denied
No permission / Access denied
If the command runs but returns a permission error, ensure the following:
- Your player account has been granted the
hycitizens.adminpermission node through your server’s permission system. - If you are using a permission plugin, confirm the node is applied to the correct player or group and that the permission system is active.
- Operator status alone may not grant
hycitizens.admindepending on your server configuration — add the node explicitly if in doubt.
