Community Server Update 1

How do we stand with the Aetherion community server.

It has now been just over a week since the official release of Hytale, and our team has been working tirelessly to enhance the Aetherion community server. Our goal is to provide players with a secure, stable, and engaging environment - one that improves overall gameplay while giving you peace of mind as you explore, build, and connect with others. 

Over the past few days, we have focused on strengthening protection features, improving communication tools, and laying the groundwork for new gameplay experiences. Several in‑house plugins are currently in development to support these improvements.

New Features & Enhancements

CHEST & BUILD PROTECTION 

We have introduced a custom security system that automatically locks placed chests, doors, and workbenches to their owner. 

By looking directly at the object, players can use the /bperm command to open a user‑friendly interface and grant access to trusted friends. This ensures your belongings and creations remain protected at all times. 

PLAYER COMMUNICATION IMPROVEMENTS 

A new /whisper command has been added, enabling private messaging between players for easier and more immersive communication. 

SPAWN ZONE SECURITY 

To preserve the experience for new players, the spawn area - the First Gate of the Echo - is now protected from damage or unwanted alterations. This ensures a welcoming and stable entry point into the world.

Lobby Area (Central Hub)

The lobby (our central hub) plays a major role in the community server experience. It serves as the first area players encounter and will house markets, portals to various worlds, and future minigame launch platforms. 

We designed the lobby to stay true to the Aetherion RPG theme, ensuring that it blends naturally with the world’s story and atmosphere. 

We also plan to introduce a forgotten temple–themed section, featuring a memory totem for easier access for all players.

What We Are Working On Next

Our development pipeline currently includes: 

LAND CLAIM SYSTEM 

We are actively testing a new claim system that will allow players to protect their builds from griefing and unauthorized modifications. 

RPG ELEMENTS & QUALITY‑OF‑LIFE PLUGINS 

Several in‑house plugins are under development to introduce: 

  • Expanded RPG mechanics 
  • Improved systems for managing mounts 
  • A centralized economy framework 

Due to limited official documentation for Hytale at this early stage - and despite our existing Minecraft modding experience - there is a significant learning curve. This means new systems may take a little longer to deploy, but we are committed to delivering them as efficiently and reliably as possible. 

Thank you for your patience and continued support as we work to refine and improve the Aetherion server experience.
