How to Set the Spawn Point on a Hytale Server

The spawn point determines where new players or players after death appear. Every world on your server has its own spawn point.

Teleport to Spawn

In-game with admin rights, you teleport to the spawn point of the world you are currently in:

/spawn

Via the console of your dashboard, you can teleport a player who is currently online to spawn:

spawn <playername>

How to Set the Spawn Point In-Game

1. Take Your Position
   Stand in-game at the place where the spawn point should be and look in the direction players should face after spawning.

2. Enter the Command
   With admin rights, enter the following command:

   /spawn set
   

   The spawn point of the current world is set to your position. The message "Set spawn to: ..." appears as confirmation.

How to Set the Spawn Point via the Console

In the console, you specify the world and the coordinates:

spawn set --world <worldname> --position <x> <y> <z>

Example for the default world default:

spawn set --world default --position 10 120 10

How to Reset the Spawn Point

To restore the original spawn point the world had when it was created, enter in-game:

/spawn set default

In the console, you also specify the world:

spawn set default --world <worldname>

Configure Respawn Behavior

You can adjust where players reappear after death in the world configuration:

1. Stop the Server
   Stop your server via the dashboard.

2. Open the World Configuration
   Connect to your server via SFTP and open the file /universe/worlds/<worldname>/config.json.

3. Add the Death Block
   By default, the file does not contain a Death block. Find the line "GameplayConfig": "Default", and add the Death block below it. Since more settings follow, there must be a comma after the last closing bracket } of the Death block:

   "Death": {
     "RespawnController": {
       "Type": "WorldSpawnPoint"
     },
     "ItemsLossMode": "Configured",
     "ItemsAmountLossPercentage": 50.0,
     "ItemsDurabilityLossPercentage": 10.0
   }
   

4. Start the Server
   Start your server.

Available Respawn Types:

• HomeOrSpawnPoint - Respawn at the player's own respawn point, otherwise at the world spawn point (default)
• WorldSpawnPoint - Always respawn at the world spawn point
