Description

Discord support: https://discord.gg/6cmUR94bhA

Aurora brings northern lights to the cold north of Hytale. On clear nights glowing curtains of light appear high above the winter biome, shimmer, sway slowly and change their shape through the night. Every player nearby sees the same aurora in the same place. Server-side only, no client mod needed.

  • Only in the frozen north — auroras hang over the winter biome, so you have to travel north to see them.
  • Six shapes — long curtains, big S folds, spirals, calm arcs, ray bundles and several auroras scattered across the sky.
  • Mixed colours — green, yellow-green, blue, violet and rare crimson nights, blended like the real thing.
  • Alive — the lights shimmer, sway and slowly change their shape, every curtain looks different.
  • High in the sky — rays rise far above the mountains and can be seen from a long way off.
  • You decide how often — a chance per night, a fixed rhythm (every N nights), pauses between aurora nights, a guaranteed aurora after a dry spell, and shows that come and go during the night.
  • Light on the server — one shared aurora per area, sent only to players who can see it, with a cap per player.
  • Fully configurable — height, size, direction, shapes, colours and timing in settings.json, reloadable in game.
