How to Enable PVP on Your Hytale Server

On a Hytale server, player-versus-player (PvP) combat is controlled by a setting in the server control panel. When PvP is enabled, players can damage each other during normal gameplay. When it’s disabled, everyone can build, explore, and stand suspiciously close to each other without consequences. 👀

The PvP setting can be changed at any time and takes effect after a server restart. Whether you’re setting up a competitive environment, testing combat features, or simply allowing friendly (or not-so-friendly) duels, this guide will walk you through where to find the PvP option and how to enable it.

Note: Be sure to fully stop your Hytale server before making any changes!

⚠️ The Hytale control panel is currently a work in progress. The panel and steps are subject to change as development continues.
