Guide on changing time in Hytale

Hytale offers gamers an opportunity to explore the unique world of Orbis and discover the secrets within the much-awaited RPG sandbox title. Like most contemporaries, it features a dynamic day and night cycle that adds realism, while also offering different encounters during daytime. While players can wait for the time of day to change naturally, there are also other alternatives which will help them to change time while they play the game. Here are the steps on how to change time in Hytale.

Sleeping in Beds:

One of the most convenient ways to change time in Hytale is to sleep in beds. It is very simple for the players because all they need to do is craft a bedroll using a workbench or a bed using a furniture workbench. Once it is crafted, the players need to interact with it to set their respawn point and after the respawn point is set, they can sleep in it at night to set the time to dawn. Moreover, it is important to note that players will be able to sleep in bed at night only after 9PM.

Interacting with the bed before that will not have any change in time whatsoever and this particular method only works to skip nighttime.

Use Commands:

To skip the time to the night or to have proper control over the movement of sun and moon in Hytale, it's better to use the forbidden power of commands. Commands are available to players in both exploration and creative modes where they can simply open the chatbox and enter the following command to activate cheats.

/Op self:

After the players enter this magical word, then sky is the limit. They will be able to use time commands to alter hours in accordance with their needs. Given below are the following list of commands that can be used to change time in Hytale:

/time dawn
/time midday
/time dusk
/time midnight
/time set
/time pause
/time dilationWhile the first Four commands are self-explanatory, the ‘set’ command can be used to set or adjust a particular time. Selecting a number between 0 to 24 denotes the hour of the day. As for the pause command, it can be used to freeze time while the dilation command adjusts the multiplier progression with the default set at 1x. The time commands are great for players who wish to change the time of the day to specific hours, be it aesthetic dusk shots or to farm the Essence of the Void by eliminating mobs at night.
