How to Set the Spawn Point on a Hytale Server ​

The spawn point determines where new players or players after death appear.

Teleport to Spawn ​

To teleport to the current spawn point:

spawn
spawn

Note

Console commands are entered without /. In-game with admin rights, you need the / (e.g., /spawn).

Set Spawn Point ​

Note

Hytale does not have a built-in /setspawn command. You can set the spawn point with the HyCommands Mod.

How to Install the HyCommands Mod ​

The HyCommands Mod by NightBeamStudio is a comprehensive server utility for Hytale. It adds useful commands like /setspawn, /sethome, /home, and /warp.

Download ​

The mod can be downloaded here: HyCommands on CurseForge

Installation ​

  1. Stop the Server
    Stop your server via the management panel.

  2. Download the Mod
    Download the .jar file of the HyCommands Mod from CurseForge.

  3. Upload the Mod
    Connect to your server via SFTP and upload the .jar file to the mods/ folder.

  4. Start the Server
    Start your server.

Set Spawn Point (with HyCommands) ​

With HyCommands, you can set the spawn as admin in-game:

/setspawn
/setspawn

The spawn point will be set to your current position.

Configure Respawn Behavior ​

You can adjust the respawn behavior after death in the world configuration:

  1. Open /universe/worlds/<worldname>/config.json
  2. In the Death block you'll find RespawnController:
json
"Death": {
  "RespawnController": {
    "Type": "HomeOrSpawnPoint"
  }
}
"Death": {
  "RespawnController": {
    "Type": "HomeOrSpawnPoint"
  }
}

Available Respawn Types:

  • HomeOrSpawnPoint - Respawn at home or spawn point
  • SpawnPoint - Only at spawn point

Note
