Update: one person joined and tried to kill me, then called me a faggot when he found out the server is PvE
Imma head off, I'll be on later. Server is still empty

There's a thread here called AnonCraft but the server is unreliable and just crashes every now and then. I think as long as you keep yours running fine, you'll get people. The IRC is just the cherry on top.

>>2188712
Yeah a few people have joined since my last post, thanks anon.
I probably won't have issues with support like the other guy did, since I'm not using a game host provider, I set up the server manually on a linux host, it's been really smooth so far. There's an overkill amount of RAM that probably won't even get used up (32gb)

I'd like to join one of these servers but I also don't want to get my account fucked by some sperg throwing a hissy fit.
I wonder how long it'll take before anti telemetry/reporting mods take shape...

>>2189820
The problem with the minecraft chat reporting update is that your messages on random servers are cryptographically signed in a way that ties them to your account and proves you wrote them, so the server's rules don't matter, you can still get fucked for ToS violations because your client will send the other guy's signed messages straight to microshit. I could be just making this up, but I'm pretty sure hytale doesn't have something like that. If it does, at least the game is only $20, so I can buy it again if I get banned. But for a game with PR as good as hytale I feel like all hell would break loose the moment someone reveals they got banned for chat on a private server.

I'll keep my eye on this thread and hop in when they release v2 world gen.

>>2190108
OP here, I assume I'll have to reset the world to take advantage of the new worldgen when it drops.
I have no problem with that, but one guy will probably be pissed since he already started building a base. I guess it's dumb to expect the world to be permanent in such an early build of the game. I am predicting there will be multiple resets as new updates drop.

>>2190144
Yeah, the instability of it all is why it'll suck for a while. I don't know if they have any tools that'll make it easy so that you can port some stuff over.

OP here, I'll make a tripcode since this thread will probably be up for a while
Not currently on the server, but my in-game username is bedhead (same name on irc.libera.chat)
I'm also the only admin so if anyone else claims to be just ignore them. If there's ever jannies I'll post their usernames here using this trip, but I don't see a need for jannies at the moment

OP, looks like they rolled out the Patch.
https://hytale.com/news/2026/1/hytale-patch-notes-update-1
Not sure if it's worth if it's worthwhile resetting the world for. But that's up to you. Don't know if you can put a vote mod in the server where players can vote or something. I don't mind if we stay or go.

>>2190371
The server repo is still showing 4b0f30090 as the latest version for me which is the patch I applied earlier today. I will update and reset the world as soon as it comes out though. I don't plan on getting stuck running an older world.

The patch above says
>Added dinosaurs and other NPCs to populate the underground jungles. They currently use placeholder behaviours and are a work in progress.
>These new NPCs required a change to the environment in the biome, so you will need to generate new unexplored areas to see them.
It doesn't say anything about the worldgen overhaul that's apparently forthcoming, and not many chunks have been explored on the server yet, so no world reset just yet

>>2190399
All of us are basically building our home out so I can get behind not doing the reset for this.

>>2190414
Yeah definitely not for this, but if they change world gen dramatically in one of these upcoming patches it's another story. Though I'm not actually sure whether they are doing that soon as the other anon said.
The only details I can find on it are here: https://hytale.com/news/2026/1/the-future-of-world-generation

They actually address the problem in the blog post:
>Once completed, V2 will become the primary world generator, and you will enter the new world of Orbis. V1 will eventually stop generating chunks, but your old V1 worlds will still be accessible.
So I had my mind set on something closer to the way Minecraft worldgen updates work, but it seems very likely no world reset will be needed when this does come out anyway.

>join irc

Kek. Why is this such a common pattern of behavior? I've seen it in other irc rooms as well.
Anyways if you google "hytale server list" currently a ton of server lists come up (hytale-servers.net, hytale-servers.com, hytaleonlineservers.com, etc.). I initially spammed the server on as many of those as possible, so that's probably where a lot of the players are coming from.

My base.

>>2190832
The torches lighting the side of the mountain are kino. It's interesting how hytale looks like minecraft with shaders out of the box, but runs way better.

Some guy earlier threw slurs. When he tried to join at a different time, he just kept joining and exiting. He was playing with a friend (who would always denounce him when he ripped a slur) and he told us about the issue.

I don't know what the deal is. Did Hytale auto-ban him or something?

>>2190851
To be clear, I'm not complaining about the guy. He was playing just fine. But then they took a break and when they tried to rejoin the guy couldn't stay in.

>>2190851
I was certain it wasn't my server, but just to be sure I checked bans.json, and sure enough it's empty. I haven't banned anyone and neither did my server. Could just be hytale auth issues. Restarting your client usually fixes that. Otherwise I couldn't say. I would be really surprised if hytale banned him for that.

Is the server down?

RIP server

>>2191162
>>2191299
I see no evidence on my end that the server went down, so that's weird. I was asleep but the server appears to still be running from what I can see.
I rebooted it, hopefully should be able to connect again.
Early access bugs I guess.

>>2191674
Yep. Able to get on it now. But like the other two, could not earlier.

Scratch that. I got DC'd 3 times and can't enter again.

Not sure what happened but shit's completely fucked, server just crashed again, spawn area is corrupted. Can't seem to get the server running again. I'm restoring from yesterday's backup.

Managed to preserve player inventories from the corrupted world save so your gear should still be there. Server's up again, but anything built in the last 24 hours is gone.
Still can't really diagnose what happened, I assume it happened when I was asleep. I'm setting up the server to reboot automatically every 6 hours which should hopefully reduce the likelihood of it repeating.

>>2190832
Well, this was a solid build. Sadly I joined the server in the last 24 hours so its gone. My morale has been depleted and I can no longer continue here.

>>2191703
I got you. I feel the same way. I've been server hopping. Seems like this game is too unreliable at the moment for anyone wanting some persistence.

>>2191713
Yeah that's ass, sorry anon. I just tried to do some surgery to see if I could narrow down the corrupted chunks and rescue the other ones as a last resort, but it doesn't seem to be possible (the server announces which chunks it fails to load, but they're contained in packed region files).

Anyway, the server world is continuing from a backup dated Jan 16 4:23 PM PST (just over 24 hours ago) and everyone's inventory is still intact. We should have no more downtime with scheduled restarts. New people should still feel free to join, just treat it as the vibe coded early access game it is and don't build anything very permanent until the game is more stable.

I changed the backup interval to 5 hours, which should execute 1 hour before each server reboot (which now occurs every 6 hours). This is my last mitigation for now, everything seems to be running smoothly again.

Figured I'd make a spot close enough to the spawn. Got all the basic crafting tables. Spare food on the first floor and spare beds on the third floor.

>>2192170
The building in this game is on another level, the roof in particular looks sick
So are we making this server a communist utopia? Your contribution is noted and shall be remembered

server down?

>>2192196
Basically lost all our progress. Hopefully others anons will return at some point.
Having a structure close to spawn even when 0 are online is a nice way to not make it feel empty too. Really not much there, but take what you need.

>>2192299
No

>>2192305
mountain anon here, i wont be returning. not until the game gets more stability with its multiplayer. it sucks but its the way she goes. ill stick to my offline server.
>>2192196
>So are we making this server a communist utopia?
gross.

>>2191698
im not sure if this is what happened, but when i initially loaded in i tried taking the knight statue from the spawn and was blocked. perhaps if people try taking blocks from the spawn it corrupts them?

Found a huge section of the lava being submerged in water. Diving gear can't come fast enough.

cant connect to server

>>2192959
It's working fine

This server is overrun by 3rd worlder children and non channers, why would you even post it here? 4chan and kids dont exactly play together nice

>>2193298
The server population is tiny and is comprised of at least 80% channers, so I can't imagine what you are referring to. A chat where people are chill and don't say nigger ever 5 seconds doesn't mean it's compromised by non channers. Plus you could easily gatekeep and drive off the rabble by just growing some balls and telling them to leave.

>>2193418

>insists that its my fault and I should tell them to leave

Enjoy your grooming server

It's farming season at the ugly old inn.

Is the server up? i can't connect...

>>2196445
It's up. Just checked.

Ye Ugly Old Inn has been destroyed by a griefer at some point. All floors are empty. Farm in comparison was lazily destroyed. But it looks aesthetically pleasing to have some of it still be in tact.

So in light of this, it is now Ye Ugly Old Decrepit Inn! It'll make for a nice bit of server history.

>>2196834
The griefer griefed more than just the inn, but I was able to rollback the damage without restoring a world backup, since the server is using an alpha build of CoreProtect (plugin that logs block changes). It messed up some of the block states, so roof tiles and stuff are the wrong way around.
The griefer's name was HotTeaAndHoney btw

>>2196925
>It messed up some of the block states, so roof tiles and stuff are the wrong way around.
Ah, that's no problem. Nice to hear you've got it under control. Thanks OP.

I hope they can get around to adding something that lets you leave offline messages for others sooner rather than later. Having a working sign system is probably not a priority of theirs yet.

>>2199482
Yeah, signs add soul to Minecraft
It means there's no good way to leave messages at spawn in-game as an admin either, which is a hallmark of small MC servers.
There's a plugin called EasySigns to create floating text (https://www.curseforge.com/hytale/mods/easysigns) but they disappear when the chunk unloads and they don't come back, author hasn't fixed that yet.

I'm guessing some update got pushed? I played yesterday and was seeing some skeleton mobs I usually wouldn't be able to see in a starting zone.

We've reached our portal limit. It would be nice if they could guarantee a personal portal for returning hauls easier to the base even if it's only accessible to you.

>Ophidiophobia
I'm waiting for them to one by one add all these phobias for the mobs.

Server has been consistently stable. So that's pretty nice. Have we gotten any new players, OP?

>>2202439
Not yesterday, but there was a patch a few hours ago. I just woke up and haven't applied it server-side yet. Currently it says there's someone online, so I will update when there's nobody playing.
>>2202743
No new players, just the same 3-4 regulars this week. I'm happy to keep running the server for the small crew though.

I replaced the server files without restarting the server. Naughty, but theoretically harmless since I assume the server loads Assets.zip into RAM. Next time the server automatically restarts, it should be on the new version.

New update for CoreProtect pog

>>2202820
Nice. But I guess we'll still get a reset to tier 1 if a bench gets broken and restored? Would you be privvy to the tier of a griefed bench?

The water and the block rotations are the worse of it anyways, so not having to worry about that anymore is great.

>>2202824
That's one of the things addressed in the changelog
>Fixed benches (etc.) not rolling back with correct tiers/metadata.

>>2202854
Not highlighted? Didn't read. Nothing personnel.

No need to worry about griefers anymore.

Man I could do with a horse. It's like I HAVE to go to a volcano island to get one. But I'm afraid it's going to just despawn when I come back and it'll not be worth the effort.

>>2204612
Anecdotal experience but the three undead horses I've spread out across my singleplayer haven't despawned no matter how far I went, dunno whether the same holds true on multiplayer

Thought the game bugged out by giving me this. Stacked up to three but the number didn't go down. Once it breaks you can still use it but the throw attack starts eating the stack. Don't know if I could have repaired it cause I didn't think it would disappear from my inventory.

>>2204648
I'll give it a shot. Gonna park a horse.

I'm registering as 0ms but my connection is red. Gonna have to wait till my internet stabilizes. Cause lagging during fights in the volcano island is not good.

>>2204667
Can confirm, my horse did not despawn. I brought a 2nd horse but it drowned when I looked away. As long as you fence it up or keep it away from predators, it's good.

Installed le new patch release
Seems to be just bugfixes.

Land claims or at least hidden on the map would be nice. Not much sense in making a hidden base when everyone can see you on the map lol Mine is a secret lol

WHAT WOULD A TRORK NAME BE LIKE

Prolly like Grog, Grub, etc.

Do people still play? Or did they all move to Anoncraft?

They're introducing fire spread soon. I imagine they have to log the origin of a fire as an anti-griefing measure.

>>2222389
Server population has died down quite a lot, but a couple of people still play.

>>2222399
An active thread would help bring eyes but that's a hard ask. What would people even talk about.

>>2222553
The anoncraft thread is a good reference for what an active server thread looks like. People there are constantly complaining about server issues and gay discord drama. Maybe that's why it has so many players
