Hosts File Configuration

To connect to your local server, you must modify your system's hosts file to redirect Growtopia's servers to your local machine.

1. Open Notepad as Administrator
2. Open the file: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
3. Add the following lines at the end:

127.0.0.1 www.growtopia1.com
127.0.0.1 www.growtopia2.com

4. Save the file

Linux / macOS

1. Open terminal
2. Edit the hosts file with sudo:

sudo nano /etc/hosts

3. Add the following lines:

127.0.0.1 www.growtopia1.com
127.0.0.1 www.growtopia2.com

4. Save with Ctrl + O, then exit with Ctrl + X

Reverting Changes

To connect to official Growtopia servers again, remove or comment out the lines you added to the hosts file:

# 127.0.0.1 www.growtopia1.com
# 127.0.0.1 www.growtopia2.com
