You can enable PvP on a Hytale server by editing the world config.json file and setting IsPvpEnabled to true. Stop the server first so your changes are not overwritten during shutdown.
Enable PvP
- Open your Hytale server in the control panel.
- Stop the server and wait until it is fully offline.
- Open the Files tab.
- Navigate to
universe/worlds/. - Open the folder for the world you want to change.
- Open
config.json. - Find the PvP setting:
"IsPvpEnabled": false
- Change it to:
"IsPvpEnabled": true
- Save the file.
- Start the server again.
If the server will not start
- Re-open
config.jsonand check for a missing comma or an extra quote. - JSON values must stay lower-case: use
trueorfalse, notTrueorFalse. - If you changed several settings at once, undo the last change and try again.
