Hytale servers can enable the use of the 'Creative Hub', which functions as a hub world for players to spawn into and select various worlds from. By enabling the creative hub, users can return to it at any time with the hub command, loading into one of the three available worlds and having progress shared between them. Without the use of mods, this is currently only available for creative worlds, with additional functionality likely to be added later.
Note: The Creative Hub uses multiple worlds and instances, which may increase RAM requirements. Learn how to upgrade a server here.
1. Log in to the BisectHosting Starbase panel.
2. Stop the server.
Note: The server must be started once to generate the required files.
3. Go to the Files tab.
4. Find the following directory: /home/container/universe/worlds.
5. Open the current world folder, typically named default.
6. Choose the config.json file.
7. From the bottom of the file, highlight the "Plugin": {} line, as well as the } line below.
8. Copy and Paste the following template into the file, replacing the highlighted line.
"Plugin": {
"CreativeHub": {
"StartupInstance": "CreativeHub"
}
}
}9. Press the Save button.
10. Start the server.
11. Launch Hytale.
12. Join the server.
13. Players will now load in to the Cosmos of Creativity, a.k.a the Creative Hub.
14. Use the /hub command to teleport to the Creative Hub at any time.
15. To configure the worlds available in the hub, enter each of the three portals.
Note: The portals must be entered once to generate the world files on the server.
16. After entering each portal, return to the worlds directory on the Starbase panel.
17. The newly generated worlds will be listed, and can be configured as desired.
18. Additionally, Instance folders will appear here each time a player enters the creative hub.
Note: Due to a current lack of settings, instance folders do not automatically delete. It's recommended to occasionally delete the instance folders manually until a workaround is found.
