The Aetherion Survival World is the beating heart of your adventure—a vast, living sandbox inspired by Hytale’s vanilla overworld but enhanced with subtle, thoughtful improvements that deepen the experience without breaking its familiar charm. This is survival as it was meant to be: free, open‑ended, and shaped by the stories players build together.
In Aetherion, every biome feels alive. Towering forests, rolling plains, frozen peaks, and mysterious caves invite exploration, resource gathering, and base building. Whether you’re venturing out alone or sharing your journey with friends, the Survival World offers a space where creativity and resilience truly matter.
But Aetherion isn’t just vanilla. A curated set of lightweight plugins provides structure, security, and long-term progression - without disrupting the spirit of classic survival gameplay. The world remains true to the look and feel of Hytale’s survival gameplay, preserving the magic and exploration players expect while ensuring a modern, stable, community‑friendly environment.
The Central Nexus is the beating heart of Aetherion’s network of worlds - a radiant hub where every journey begins and every path converges. New and seasoned adventurers alike gather here to travel between realms, discover new content, and jump straight into the action.
Within the Nexus, players can access portals to the Survival World, Adventure Realms, Seasonal Zones, and any future expansions. It’s also home to rotating special events, minigames, and community‑driven activities that keep the world feeling alive and ever‑changing.
Whether you're meeting friends, preparing for your next expedition, or diving into a festival or competition, the Central Nexus serves as your gateway to everything Aetherion has to offer.
Players can claim land to prevent griefing, protect their creations, and build confidently. Your base, farms, and architectural masterpieces remain safe at all times. Use the /claim command to see a list of all available claim commands.
Any player in survival can use the /sethome command to set a home location to teleport to. You can warp to this location using the command /home and has a cooldown of around 15 minutes before it can be used again.
Chests, furnaces, crafting tables, and other workbenches are automatically locked to the person placing them, ensuring your resources stay yours. Whilst looking at the chest/workbench, you can use the /bperm command to open a custom UI windows where you can add players who can access the chest. No more surprise missing items.
The Aetherion Survival World features a deep, player‑driven economy designed to reward exploration, mastery, and community participation. While the world maintains the simplicity of a vanilla survival experience, its economic systems add progression, security, and meaningful goals for both new and seasoned adventurers. The bank is located in the central nexus.
At the core of the economy lies the Etheral Vault, a secure magical institution that allows players to manage their wealth with confidence. The bank is not simply a storage location - it is a central hub for economic progression.
Players can safely deposit all standard in‑game currencies, protecting their earnings whether they come from trading, gathering, or hard‑earned adventures.
Throughout the world, adventurers collect rare magical essences - shimmering fragments of elemental power found in dungeons, elite creature drops, mysterious chests, and other high‑risk exploration zones. The bank allows you to store these essences safely, preventing accidental loss and enabling long‑term crafting and enchanting goals.
One of the most exciting features is the ability to store and track your Special Tokens. These tokens function as a premium, prestige‑based currency earned only through challenging or seasonal content, such as:
Special Tokens are never sold or traded freely; they reflect your achievements, dedication, and participation in Aetherion’s living world. The bank keeps a perfect ledger of your lifetime token count and current balance.
