Hytale Update 6 Part 6 — Trigger Volume Overhaul, Creative Tools & Water Quality

Hytale Pre-Release Update 6 Part 6 delivers a major overhaul to the Trigger Volume system, introduces new Creative Tools features, adds water quality rendering options, and fixes hundreds of bugs across NPC behavior, world generation, items, and plugin development.

This release is particularly significant for world builders and server operators — the Trigger Volume system now supports persistent "Always Active" options, new effects, and cross-world teleportation. Below is a complete breakdown of the update.

Trigger Volume Tool

• New 'On Volume Create' trigger — fires effects when a new volume is created within an existing volume
• New 'Always Active' option — persistently applies effects within the volume including:
  • Creative Placement — allow block placement as if in Creative Mode
  • Damage Multiplier — increase/decrease damage for entities
  • Fly — allow flight as in Creative Mode
  • No Build — prevent block placement
  • No Destroy — prevent block destruction
  • No Door Open, No Harvest, No Heal, No Block Tick
• New 'Modify Always Active Rules' effect — toggle persistent effects above
• New 'Cancel VFX' effect — expire particles of a chosen type
• New 'Remove / Kill Entities' effect
• 'Teleport' effect can now teleport players to an entirely different world
• Duplicating a trigger volume now copies its volume settings
• Saving a trigger volume preset now optionally saves volume settings
