In Hytale, falling from heights can be dangerous, but there are several ways to avoid or reduce fall damage. Whether through server settings, movement techniques, or environmental tricks, this guide covers everything you need to stay safe while exploring.
Quick ways to avoid fall damage
| Method | How it Works |
|---|---|
| Server/world settings | Turn off fall damage entirely in the server or world settings. |
| Dodge rolls | Roll just before landing to cancel or reduce fall damage. |
| Land in water or soft blocks | Aim for water or soft blocks to reduce or completely negate damage. |
How to disable fall damage on a server
Follow these steps to turn off fall damage on your Hytale server safely and easily:
Step 1: Stop the server
Make sure the server is fully shut down before editing files.
Step 2: Open the world config
Navigate to your world folder (usually universe/worlds/your_world_name/) and open config.json.
Step 3: Change the fall damage setting
Find "IsFallDamageEnabled": true and change it to false. If it doesn’t exist, add it near other gameplay settings.
Example snippet:
"IsPvpEnabled": true,
"IsFallDamageEnabled": false,
"IsWeatherEnabled": true
Step 4: Save and restart
Save the file and restart the server. Players will no longer take fall damage.
How to disable fall damage in single‑player
If you’re playing Hytale in single‑player mode, here's how to disable fall damage:
Step 1: Access world settings
When creating a new world, click the Settings or World Options button before generating it to configure gameplay options.
Step 2: Turn off fall damage
Within the world settings, locate the Fall Damage option and toggle it Off to disable fall damage for the world.
Step 3: Edit world settings to disable fall damage
For an existing world, open your world list, right-click (or long-press) the world, select Edit Settings or World Settings, and then locate the fall damage toggle. Switch it to Off or Disabled to prevent fall damage in that world.
Step 5: Save your changes
Save the world settings, and the fall damage toggle will take effect immediately when you load the world.
How to avoid fall damage as a player
- Use a dodge roll / roll on landing – Roll just before hitting the ground to cancel or reduce fall damage.
- Land in water or soft blocks – Water, hay bales, or other soft blocks reduce or negate fall damage. Build safety nets where needed.
