How does the server stay running after I close the terminal?

The skill uses 'Screen' to start the server in a detached session, allowing the game process to run continuously in the background.

Does this skill provide the Hytale server files?

No, you must provide your own 'hytale-downloader-credentials.json' and download the official downloader utility from Hytale's website.

Where should I place my Hytale credentials?

Credentials should be placed in '~/hytale_server/hytale-downloader-credentials.json' for the skill to function correctly.

Can I update my server to the latest version using Claude?

Yes, the 'hytale update' command triggers the Hytale Downloader to fetch and install the latest available server files.

What are the prerequisites for this skill?

You need Java 21+, the Linux 'Screen' utility, and the official Hytale Downloader executable installed on your machine.
