How to Enable Fullbright in Hytale

Introduction

Fullbright is a feature that significantly increases brightness in Hytale, making dark areas perfectly visible. Whether you are a server administrator or a player, this guide explains how to enable this option to enhance your visibility in-game.

What is Fullbright?

Fullbright is a setting that maximizes the gamma brightness level, thereby eliminating shadowy areas in the game. This feature is particularly useful for exploring caves, building in dark spaces, or simply enhancing your visual comfort.

• Perfect visibility in caves and dungeons
• Easier building in poorly lit areas
• Improved spotting of enemies and resources

Method: Modifying the Settings.json File

The standard method to enable Fullbright in Hytale involves modifying the game's settings file. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Close Hytale

Ensure that the Hytale game is completely closed before modifying the configuration files.

Step 2: Access the Hytale Folder

Open the file explorer and navigate to the Hytale configuration folder:

%APPDATA%/Hytale/

Step 3: Open the Settings.json File

Locate and open the settings file with a text editor (Notepad, Notepad++, VS Code):

Settings.json

Step 4: Modify the Gamma Value

Search for the "gamma" parameter and increase its value. A value of 10.0 or higher activates Fullbright:

{
  "gamma": 10.0
}

Step 5: Save and Launch the Game

Save the file and relaunch Hytale. Fullbright will be active immediately.

Note: Some servers may prohibit the use of Fullbright as it can be considered an unfair advantage. Check the server rules before enabling this option.

Alternative Method: Using a Mod

Community mods allow you to toggle Fullbright on and off directly in-game with a simple command:

/fullbright toggle

Fullbright mods typically offer a convenient toggle to quickly enable or disable the effect without modifying files.
