Losing your hard-earned items upon death can be incredibly frustrating for players. Fortunately, you can easily configure your Hytale server settings to allow players to keep their inventory, experience, and equipment safely when they respawn.
Let us walk through your MintServers panel and get that death penalty disabled!
Before editing any configuration files, it is essential to take your server offline. This ensures that your changes are saved correctly and prevents file corruption!
Step 1: Stop Your Server
Step 2: Access the World Configuration
You will need to edit the specific configuration file for your current world.
📁 universe (main server directory)
📁 worlds
📁 default (or your custom world name)
Replace "default" with the actual name of your server's world folder if you are using a custom map!
Step 3: Modify the Gameplay Config
Now we will add the specific code that tells the server not to drop your items.
This configuration sets the item drop amount and durability loss to absolute zero, effectively disabling the death penalty!
Step 4: Save and Restart
Your server is now configured to keep inventories completely safe when players die!
🛠️ Troubleshooting Configuration
The server wiped the setting back to default or crashed
This usually means there was a syntax typo when editing the JSON file, such as a missing comma at the end of a line or mismatched brackets. Ensure your formatting is exact!
