a living world

overview

normal hytale progression on a real earth map. explore, earn gold, claim land and build a city with other players. the living world.

find your place

1. join play.earthrp.net. on your first visit, you are spawned in a random part of the world to begin your journey.
2. check your surroundings, gather basic supplies and find somewhere to settle. you can join an existing city or save gold to found your own.

the globe hud in the top-right shows your location and coordinates. open earthrp.net/map to explore cities, nations and plots, or press m for the in-game map.

returning players keep their existing location; the random starting location is for your first arrival.

earn gold

mine gold underground and smelt it, sell resources to other players, or take paid work.

• mining: gather ores for your gear or sell them.
• farming and gathering: sell crops, food, wood and plants.
• hunting and crafting: sell npc drops or crafted gear.
• player jobs: build, gather or deliver for an agreed payment.

your wallet

use /bal to see your gold. pay with /pay <player> <amount>, deposit bars with /deposit <amount>, and withdraw with /withdrawl <amount>. deposits and withdrawals are available in your home city.

cities and claims

create a city, claim land and invite residents. the /city (or /c) system works like towny, with city land and resident access controls.

founding includes the first chunk. each further claim costs 32 gold. long thin strips and enclosed holes are blocked. the limit is 25 chunks, plus 10 per additional resident.

use /city to see city information and treasury gold. mayors fund cities with /city deposit <amount>: wallet first, then bars in your home city.

animals and monsters do not naturally spawn in claims unless permitted by the mayor or councillors.

cities and countries must be based on their real-life geographical location.

plots and land sales

a city claim can be divided into smaller, named plots: a house, farm, shop lot or building site. plots use exact block corners, so you do not have to sell an entire chunk. the land remains part of the city.

partition and list land

1. as a mayor or councillor, stand in your city and run /plot select.
2. interact with two corner blocks to mark the opposite corners of a rectangle. finish within 2 minutes; use /plot cancel to abandon the selection.
3. run /plot create "House". the entire rectangle must be inside your city's claims and must not overlap another plot.
4. stand inside the new plot. use /plot sell 100 residents to sell it only to city residents, or /plot sell 100 public to include outsiders. the amount is the price of the whole plot; 0 makes it free to claim.

the buyer stands inside the listed plot, checks /plot info and runs /plot buy. repeat the purchase command within 30 seconds when prompted to confirm. payment goes to the previous owner, or to the city treasury if the plot was city-owned.

ownership and access

buying a public plot does not make you a city resident. the named owner controls that plot, while city-wide and chunk permission switches still apply. plots cover their full vertical column, not a single floor of a building.

owners can rename a plot, add an entry message, set a private arrival point or list it for resale. use /plot set spawn from safe ground inside your plot, then /plot spawn "House" to return. a sale clears the previous owner's entry message and arrival point.

remove any shops inside a plot before listing or removing it. /plot remove removes the plot definition and its individual ownership; it does not unclaim the city's land. plots can span chunks but cannot overlap or extend beyond the city's claims.

nations

/nation or /n shows treasury gold. owners use /nation deposit and /nation withdraw.

owners can use /nation color <colour> and paint a flag with /nation flag. flags appear over capitals on the globe.

found a country for 1,000 gold. your city becomes its capital.

your founding city needs at least 4 residents, including you. work with other cities, trade and build relationships with neighboring countries.

resources and gear

follow normal hytale crafting progression. all metal ores are available underground through caves and strip mining. some are rarer than others.

npcs in different biomes drop scraps, hides and essences for gear. look for burnt skeletons in hot regions, frost creatures in cold regions, and outlanders for void materials.

harvest crops for life essence. at the loom, 2 cotton + 1 ice essence + 1 void essence makes 3 stormsilk scraps. gather what you need or trade for it.

grow your own apple trees: an apple sapling costs 15 life essence at farming-bench tier 2. palm saplings cost 35 life essence at tier 3. both are in the saplings category.

normal farming and building recipes do not need memories or the forgotten temple. their ingredients and workbench tiers still apply. morph potions keep their vanilla requirements.

rare monster drops

skeletons, zombies, goblins, trorks, outlanders, scaraks, fen stalkers and wraiths can drop a bonus reward alongside their normal loot.

each eligible kill has a 3% chance for one rune or a 1% chance for one gadget: 4% total, with at most one bonus item. these are chances, not a guaranteed reward after a number of kills.

gadgets include hookshots, rocket boots, scrap gliders and spyglasses. explore different regions, hunt monsters or trade with other players.

craft the runebinder's lattice at a tier 2 workbench with 10 rock, 5 iron bars and 10 life essence. place it and interact to equip ability runes and compatible modifier runes.

voidtaken grizzlies

Voidtaken Grizzlies are rare, dangerous hunts that can spawn in alpine mountain environments, during the day or at night. finding a mountain does not guarantee an encounter.

this is an 850-health predator with heavy swipes, a charge, a powerful stomp and summoned tentacles. bring suitable gear, watch the ground and leave room to dodge; knockback is especially dangerous near cliffs. hunting one provides a riskier way to gather void and storm materials or supplies to trade.

the Storm Hide and Voidheart rolls are separate, so both can drop from one kill. Essence of the Void is also used in the stormsilk recipe above. these are the grizzly's own hunt drops, separate from the 4% rune-or-gadget bonus for the monster families listed above.

claim spawn controls currently classify this bear as an animal. turning animal spawning off affects new natural spawns; it does not remove a bear that is already there.

shops and selling

chest shops exchange a specific item bundle for wallet gold. a SELL shop sells stock to customers; a BUY shop pays customers to supply its owner. the plaque and item preview help you identify a shop before opening it.

create a sell shop

1. place a storage chest in claimed land you control, such as your own plot or city land where you have building access. a plot listed for sale cannot contain an active shop.
2. put the items you want to sell in the chest. hold an example of that item in your hand: it becomes the shop's exact item template.
3. interact with the chest, close its inventory, and stay within 8 blocks while running the creation command.
4. use /shop create sell <quantity> <price>. for example, the command below sells 16 items for 5 gold total per purchase.

quantity must be 1–100; price must be a positive whole number. price is per bundle, not per individual item. keep matching items stocked: durability and custom item data are part of the template, so different variants may not count as stock.

create a buy order

hold the item you want to buy, interact with your chest and use /shop create buy <quantity> <price> [funds]. the optional funds are gold reserved from your wallet for future purchases. if omitted, the shop reserves enough for one purchase.

this order pays customers 5 gold for 16 items, with 100 gold reserved. leave room in the chest to receive deliveries. after interacting with that shop, /shop fund 50 adds another 50 gold from your wallet.

use and maintain a shop

customers interact with the shop to review the item, quantity, total price and owner. select buy from shop for a sell shop or sell to shop for a buy order. the receiving inventory must have room; the shop needs enough stock or reserved gold.

interact with the relevant chest before using /shop info, /shop trade, /shop fund, /shop display on|off or /shop remove. re-interact if the selected chest has expired. only the owner can fund, hide or remove their shop.

a sell shop that falls below one full bundle sends its owner restock mail with the item and chest coordinates. read it with /mail read. one alert is sent per stock outage; restocking rearms the next alert. removing a buy order returns its unused reserved gold to the owner's wallet after confirmation.

player trading

use /trade <player> while both players are in the same world and within 10 blocks. the recipient uses /trade accept. drag items into your offer, review both sides and both press confirm trade. player trading is items only; use /pay for a separate wallet payment.

each side can offer up to 9 stacks. changing an offer clears both confirmations. chat is hidden while the menu is open. moving, teleporting, closing the menu, disconnecting or dying cancels the trade.

offered items remain in your actual inventory until settlement. cancellation releases the reservation; if you die before settlement, the normal death system handles those items with the rest of your inventory.

city and country travel

/city spawn takes you home. add a city name to visit its arrival point. nation travel takes you to your own or an allied nation’s capital.

pvp and conflict

wilderness pvp is enabled. travel carries risk.

members of the same city or nation cannot damage each other, even in wilderness. allied nations can still fight each other in wilderness.

players from enemy countries can fight each other inside their cities. city claims do not protect you from an enemy country.

all player commands

the commands you need to play EarthRP, grouped by purpose. type commands in lowercase; replace <placeholders> with your own values. square brackets mean an optional argument. quote names containing spaces, such as "New Paris".

role key: a manager is a mayor or councillor. a city-owned plot manager acts only while that plot has no private owner. city and nation treasury powers remain with their respective leaders. server administration and rendering tools are not player commands.

when a command asks for confirmation, repeat the same action within 30 seconds. money amounts are positive whole numbers, except plot prices may be 0.

permission glossary

build controls block building/breaking; interact controls general interactions; switch or doors covers switches and doors; containers covers storage access; fire controls fire use. animals and monsters control new natural spawns. city-wide settings use on/off; chunk overrides additionally support inherit.

animals and monsters are off in claims by default. ordinary residents do not gain general building or fire rights from membership alone. builders and managers can use ordinary city land, subject to the switches; private plot ownership is checked separately.

city claim capacity is 25 chunks plus 10 for each additional resident. same-city and same-nation friendly fire is blocked; alliances allow travel but do not prevent wilderness combat. public plot sales and outsider arrivals grant their stated access only, not city membership.
