How To Change The Death Penalty On Your Hytale Server

This guide shows you how to modify what happens when players die on your Hytale server. You can turn off penalties completely, make players drop all items, or fine-tune the exact percentages.

Configuring Death Settings

1
Log in to the Game Host Bros Panel and stop your server.
2
Go to File Manager in the sidebar.
3
Open the universe/worlds/ directory and select your world folder.
4
Edit the config.json file.
5
Below GameplayConfig, insert this block:

"Death": {
  "RespawnController": {
    "Type": "HomeOrSpawnPoint"
  },
  "ItemsLossMode": "Configured",
  "ItemsAmountLossPercentage": 10.0,
  "ItemsDurabilityLossPercentage": 10.0
},

7
Change the values based on your preferences (reference the table below).
8
Save the file and start your server.

Available Settings

Setting	What It Does
`ItemsLossMode`	Controls the death penalty mode: `None` = Keep everything `All` = Drop everything `Configured` = Custom percentages
`ItemsAmountLossPercentage`	How many items are lost (0-100)
`ItemsDurabilityLossPercentage`	How much durability items lose (0-100)

Note

Death penalties are configured per-world. You'll need to edit each world's config.json separately if you want different settings.
