About this project

What does Zone View Control add?

◆ Visit Astryx World | 𝕏 Follow us on X

Zone View Control is a server-side Hytale mod that lets administrators create custom cuboid zones and assign a specific chunk view radius to each zone.

It is useful for cities, hubs, markets, dungeons, and other structure-heavy areas where reducing view distance locally can help stabilize gameplay without lowering the global server radius.

Features

Create zones with in-game commands
Select regions using a built-in wand system
Set custom chunk view radius per zone
Set zone priority for overlapping regions
Show and hide zone previews
Check zone information at your current position
Toggle bypass for administrators
Supports multiple worlds
No required dependency on OrbisGuard or Fixtale
