How to Enable Fall Damage on a Hytale Server

Fall damage determines whether players take damage when falling from great heights. This setting is configured per world.

Note

Stop your server before making changes to configuration files, otherwise they will be overwritten by the server.

How to Enable or Disable Fall Damage via Configuration

Stop the Server
Stop your server via the management panel.
Open the World Configuration
Connect to your server via SFTP and navigate to:
```
/universe/worlds/<worldname>/config.json
```
```
/universe/worlds/<worldname>/config.json
```
Replace <worldname> with the name of your world (e.g., default).
Change the Fall Damage Setting
Find the IsFallDamageEnabled setting and change the value:
json
```
"IsFallDamageEnabled": true
```
```
"IsFallDamageEnabled": true
```
- true - Fall damage enabled (default)
- false - Fall damage disabled
Start the Server
Start your server for the changes to take effect.

Admins can also enable or disable fall damage directly in-game:

/world config falldamage true

/world config falldamage true

To disable fall damage:

/world config falldamage false

/world config falldamage false

Note

Disabling fall damage is especially useful for building servers or creative worlds where players can build without risk.
