Chat
Server chat, player events, deaths and the panel's activity log in one table, refreshing on its own, plus messages to all players.
Filter events
The Event type filter shows one kind of entry at a time, each with matching columns:
| Event type | Columns | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Chat Messages (default) | Time, player, message | Chat history of the Java mod |
| Player Joined / Player Left | Time, player | Java mod |
| Game Mode Changed | Time, player, game mode | Java mod |
| Group Permission Changed | Time, group, action, permissions | Java mod |
| Player Permission Changed | Time, player, action, group, permissions | Java mod |
| Deaths | Time, player, cause of death, plus the total number of deaths in the heading | GET /deaths |
| Activity Log | Time, user, action, details | Pelican's activity log, all entries server:hytale-admin.* |
The Activity Log only appears with the hytale-admin.activity permission. It lists every action someone ran through the panel (kick, ban, teleport, inventory, backups, configuration and so on) with the panel user and the details.
Refresh and history
| Setting | Default | Where to change |
|---|---|---|
| Poll interval | 3 seconds | Chat polling every in the settings on the setup page (chatPollInterval) |
| Max history | 500 entries | Stored chat history in the settings on the setup page (maxChatHistory) |
The activity log refreshes every 30 seconds regardless.

| Permission | hytale-admin.chat-read |
| API | GET /chat with limit and eventType |

Troubleshooting
Chat does not update
- The server may be offline
- Chat polling every in the setup settings set too high
- Missing permission
hytale-admin.chat-read
"Failed to send broadcast"
- Connection to the Java mod lost
- Missing permission
hytale-admin.chat-broadcast
Activity log missing or empty
- Without
hytale-admin.activitythe entry is not in the filter - No actions have been run through the panel yet
History too short
- Stored chat history in the settings on the setup page limits the number of entries
- The Java mod keeps the chat in memory, a server restart clears it
