Introduction

PvP management on a Hytale game server controls whether players can damage or fight each other within a world. By adjusting the PvP settings, server owners can decide if player combat is fully enabled, completely disabled, or restricted to certain situations.

Configuration

PvP behavior is defined per world and set via the server’s configuration file:

Code

/gXXXXXXX/hytale/universe/worlds/default/config.json

This setting determines how the server handles player-versus-player damage and whether PvP is allowed in the active world. Changes to PvP settings apply globally to the affected world and require a server restart to take effect.

The following example shows a configuration where PvP is disabled for a world:

Code

"WorldConfig": {
  "PvP": false
}

With this setting, players can no longer damage each other in this world, effectively creating a PvE-focused environment.

To enable PvP and allow player combat, the configuration can be set as follows:

Code

"WorldConfig": {
  "PvP": true
}

Conclusion

Once the settings are applied, you have a clear overview of how PvP is managed and can easily adjust the configuration to support cooperative gameplay, competitive environments, or a combination of both. If you have further questions or need assistance, our support team is available daily! 🙂
