Description
🌀 Neutrino (Freecam) v0.8
Neutrino is a lightweight server-side freecam plugin for Hytale that lets players detach their camera from their character for exploration, cinematic shots, and world inspection.
Built to stay minimal and reliable, Neutrino focuses on a clean freecam experience with optional permission-based access control.
⚙️ How it works
When freecam is enabled, your player camera switches to server camera mode, allowing independent camera movement while your character remains in place.
Freecam can be toggled on/off at any time, and Neutrino automatically cleans up active freecam state on disconnect and server shutdown.
An optional speed multiplier allows players to adjust camera movement speed dynamically.
⌨️ Commands
Player command
/freecam (/fc alias)
• Toggles freecam mode on/off
• Optional argument: speed (float)
• By default: available to all players
Usage examples:
/freecam→ Toggle freecam/freecam 2.0→ Set speed multiplier to 2.0x and toggle/freecam 0.5→ Slower cinematic movement
Speed multiplier:
- Minimum:
0.25 - Maximum:
5.0 - Default:
1.0
If a speed value is outside the allowed range, the command will reject it with a validation message.
Anchor command collection (WIP)
/freecamanchor (/fca alias)
Subcommands:
/fca set <id>→ Save current camera position and rotation as an anchor/fca remove <id>→ Remove a saved anchor/fca use <id>→ Enter anchor camera view/fca quit→ Exit anchor camera view
Anchor config command (WIP)
/freecamanchorconfig enabled <true|false> (/fcac alias)
• Globally enable/disable all anchor functionality
🔐 Permissions
Neutrino v0.8.5 uses dedicated permission nodes:
Freecam
neutrino.command.freecamneutrino.command.freecamconfigneutrino.command.freecamconfig.usepermissionbehavior
Anchors (WIP)
neutrino.command.freecamanchorneutrino.command.freecamanchor.setneutrino.command.freecamanchor.removeneutrino.command.freecamanchor.useneutrino.command.freecamanchor.quitneutrino.command.freecamanchorconfigneutrino.command.freecamanchorconfig.enabled
Anchor limits can be controlled via:
neutrino.command.anchor.max.<number>
(Example:neutrino.command.anchor.max.5)
When permission behavior is enabled, players can only create as many anchors as allowed by their highest matching max permission node.
⚓ Anchors (WIP)
Anchors allow players to save specific camera positions (including world, coordinates, and rotation) and re-enter them later in a fixed camera view.
Current implementation includes:
- Per-player anchor storage
- Persistent save to config
- World validation (anchors can only be used in the same world they were created in)
- Safe world existence checks
- Anchor ID validation (1–32 characters, letters/numbers/
_/-) - Permission-based anchor limits
- Global enable/disable toggle
When using an anchor:
- The camera enters Anchor mode
- The player's character remains in place
- Speed multiplier still applies
- The player can exit anchor mode with
/fca quit
Anchors are currently considered experimental.
The feature is still being evaluated in terms of design clarity, UX consistency, and long-term reliability. Behavior, permissions, or structure may change significantly in future versions.
🎥 Typical use cases
- Inspecting large builds
- Recording videos
- Taking cinematic screenshots
- Creating fixed cinematic camera angles
- Controlled scene framing
Neutrino is intended as a visual and exploration-focused tool.
✨ Features

/freecam,/fc) - Optional speed multiplier argument
- Optional permission-gated freecam behavior
- Anchor system with per-player saved positions (WIP)
