Server vs world config files for Hytale multiplayer — the checklist admins need before friends join or a host panel goes live.

Server vs world config files — the checklist admins share across generators, plus where HySphere tools fit. This Sphere Signal is written against HySphere's live extract (~3,219 items, ~975 creatures, ~2,109 recipes) so the workflow stays tied to real catalog pages.
Use this page as the editorial layer on top of the database. When a recipe, drop weight, or item name changes, open the linked catalog cards rather than trusting a screenshot from last week. HySphere’s hubs at /items, /recipes, /creatures, and /tools are the source of truth; this guide is the workflow.

Re-read the live HySphere cards after any patch that touches servers systems. This Signal’s checklist stays useful even when a single input name changes — you only swap the gather step, not the whole plan.
Config and ids

Re-read the live HySphere cards after any patch that touches servers systems. This Signal’s checklist stays useful even when a single input name changes — you only swap the gather step, not the whole plan.
