HyMultiAnarchy

Server Protections

How HyMulti stays playable while remaining an anarchy server.

HyMulti is, by design, an anarchy server. There is no in-game code of conduct, no admin watching the chat, and no moderation team handling player-vs-player disputes. PvP, raiding, griefing, building, destruction, and client-side modifications are all part of normal play here.

But "no rules" does not mean "no infrastructure". A server with literally zero technical protections becomes unplayable within hours. The few systems described on this page exist for one reason only: to keep HyMulti running so that the anarchy can continue.

The Setback Anti-Cheat

Cheating is allowed on HyMulti. Movement hacks, combat hacks, x-ray, and similar client-side modifications are part of the anarchy experience and we make no attempt to detect or punish them.

However, the server does run a lightweight, server-side setback anti-cheat. This is not a plugin we developed ourselves — it is a freely available, publicly distributed plugin from the wider Forge plugin community, installed on the server in its standard configuration. It does one specific thing: when a player attempts a movement that the server considers physically impossible — for example flying without the appropriate context, or teleporting a long distance in a single tick — the plugin snaps that player back to their previous valid position within milliseconds.

The setback anti-cheat is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible:

  • It does not kick players.
  • It does not ban players.
  • It does not warn or chat-message players.
  • It does not log usernames in a way that leads to punishment.
  • It simply pulls you back to where you were a moment ago.

The result is that combat hacks that rely on adjusted reach, server-impossible aim, or long-range teleporting are softly neutralised, while more interesting cheats (rendering, automation, etc.) remain fully usable. The point is to prevent the absolute worst cheats from making PvP meaningless, not to enforce fair play.

The Ignore Plugin

Chat spam is not a punishable offense on HyMulti. If a player chooses to flood chat with repeated messages, advertise external servers, or fill the screen with whatever they like, the server will not stop them.

Instead, every player has access to a custom ignore plugin. With a simple command, you can completely hide all chat messages from any specific user. The ignored player keeps talking; you simply stop seeing it. The setting is personal and persistent across sessions.

This puts the choice in your hands rather than in a moderator's hands. If you want to read what someone is saying, read it. If you do not, ignore them and they vanish from your chat permanently.

Hytale's Own Rules Still Apply

HyMulti runs on top of the Hytale platform. Even though we run a minimal-moderation server, your Hytale account itself remains bound by:

Hypixel Studios moderates Hytale accounts globally and acts independently of any individual server. If your conduct on HyMulti results in Hypixel Studios taking action against your Hytale account, we have no involvement in or control over that decision.

What We Actively Enforce

There is essentially one thing the server team will act on directly: deliberate attempts to disrupt the server itself.

Examples of conduct that crosses this line:

  • Crash exploits or known game-breaking bugs used intentionally to take the server down.
  • Lag machines: contraptions or scripts whose primary purpose is to degrade server performance for everyone.
  • Mass entity spawning intended to cause performance collapse.
  • Denial-of-service attacks against the server or website infrastructure.
  • Attempts to gain unauthorised access to the server back-end, the website, or other users' accounts.

Even here, our response options are limited and our detection is not perfect. Where we can identify a player responsible for ongoing server disruption, we may revoke their access. We do not investigate, we do not appeal, and we do not run a moderation process around this — we keep the server up and move on.

Website Account Security

The website's account system is held to a different standard than the game server. Account passwords are stored hashed, the entire site is served over HTTPS, and Cloudflare sits in front of our origin to absorb common attacks.

You can help protect your own account by:

  • Using a unique password you do not reuse on other sites.
  • Not sharing your account credentials with anyone.
  • Using a current, up-to-date browser.
  • Reporting any unexpected login activity using the contact channels below.

Reporting Server Issues

If you have discovered something that actually breaks the server — a crash exploit, a critical security vulnerability on the website, or evidence of an active attack — please report it privately rather than publicly:

Note that "another player attacked / robbed / griefed me" is not a server issue. That is the server working as intended.
