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. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and stop your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Files in the sidebar.
  3. 3
    Open the universe/worlds/ directory and select your world folder.
  4. 4
    Edit the config.json file.
  5. 5
    Below GameplayConfig, insert this block:
  6. 6
    "Death": {
      "RespawnController": {
        "Type": "HomeOrSpawnPoint"
      },
      "ItemsLossMode": "Configured",
      "ItemsAmountLossPercentage": 10.0,
      "ItemsDurabilityLossPercentage": 10.0
    },
    
  7. 7
    Change the values based on your preferences (reference the table below).
  8. 8
    Save the file and start your server.
