How To Change The Death Penalty On Your Hytale Server - Hytale Guide

Customizing the death penalty on your Hytale server lets you control how punishing death is for players. You can disable item loss entirely, drop everything, or set specific percentages for a balanced experience.

Changing Death Penalty Settings

Go to the GhostCap Panel and Stop your Hytale server.
In the sidebar, go to File Manager.
Navigate to universe/worlds/ and open the world folder you want to modify.
Open config.json.
Find the GameplayConfig line and add the following below it:

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

Adjust the settings to your preference (see table below).
Click Save and start your server.

Each world can have different death penalty settings. Modify the config.json in each world folder separately.
