A private server in Dino Hunters (Roblox Game ID 119031147890918) gives your group a stable match without randoms dropping in, which is essential for organized Apex hunts, content creation, and Roblox Community Group events. This guide covers how to purchase a private server slot, configure permissions, and share invites across cross-play devices.
Why Use a Private Server
Public matches rotate dinosaurs based on the global server population. A private server gives you deterministic spawns, which matters when you are farming Spinosaurus contracts in the Swamp or training new hunters on Triceratops. Private servers also support spectator mode for content creators and the VIP Gamepass lounge stays accessible only to your group.
Private Server Limits
| Limit | Value |
|---|---|
| Maximum players | 8 |
| Server region | Inherits owner's Roblox region |
| Re-entry cooldown | None |
| Persists between sessions | Yes |
Buying the Private Server Gamepass
From the Dino Hunters main menu, click Create Private Server on the left sidebar. Confirm the 99 Robux charge and the server is created instantly. Because this is a one-time Gamepass, the slot stays attached to your Roblox account forever, even if no players are inside for months.
Before You Buy
- Sign into your primary Roblox account — Gamepasses do not migrate
- Confirm your Roblox region matches the friends you intend to invite
- Verify your wallet has at least 99 Robux plus a buffer for future reseats
Configuring Permissions
Inside the private server hub, the Settings panel exposes three toggles.
Permission Toggles
| Setting | Effect |
|---|---|
| Friends Only | Only your Roblox friends can join |
| Group Only | Only members of a specified Roblox group can join |
| Public Link | Anyone with the URL can join, no friend requirement |
For most hunting groups, Friends Only with an additional allow-list is the safest configuration, because random players cannot grief contracts even if they find the link.
Sharing the Invite
Once the server is live, click Invite to generate a Roblox party invite. Invitees accept the invite from the Roblox notification tray on any device, including Mobile, Console, and VR. The party leader's server region determines the latency for all invitees, so choose a host whose geographic location sits closest to the center of your group.
Invite Etiquette
- Pin the invite link to your Discord or community channel so late arrivals can rejoin
- Pre-assign roles (Tank, DPS, Support) in chat before contracts
- Use the group settings for Roblox Community Group events where the link must rotate
Backing Up Your Private Server
Private servers persist on the Roblox cloud, but you should still screenshot the join URL and the Gamepass receipt. If you ever lose access due to a Roblox account recovery, the receipt is your proof of purchase.
Common Private Server Mistakes
- Sharing the URL publicly — even with Friends Only enabled, leaked URLs let randoms grief
- Skipping the Group Only toggle — for events, restricting to a Roblox group is safer than friends-only
- Forgetting region settings — if the host's region is far from invitees, ping spikes ruin Apex fights
- Not testing permissions — always test the server with one friend before announcing an event
