Viewer control (Hytale)
Eranio Published on: 16. October 2026
Viewer control (Hytale)
With viewer control, your chat moves a character on your Hytale server: walk, jump, turn, look around, pick a hotbar slot and revive after death. You need no mod and no program on your PC, everything runs through the StreamBridge-Hytale plugin on the server. Menu: Bot minigames → Hytale, section Viewer control. The settings are separate from the Minecraft page. If control is on for both pages, one chat command steers both characters.
Requirements
- A connected Hytale server with StreamBridge-Hytale 1.5.0 or newer (see the guide "Hytale")
- The controlled player is in the player list and online on the server
- The chat bot is active in your channel. The commands work in Twitch chat and TikTok chat
Settings
| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Viewer control on | Switches control on or off. Off means: you play yourself, no chat command moves the character | off |
| Controlled player | Which character from your player list chat controls | none |
| Mode | Vote: every few seconds the most wanted command wins. Chaos: every command acts at once | Vote |
| Vote every | Length of a vote round (vote only) | 4 seconds (2 to 15) |
| Cooldown per viewer | How long the same viewer has to wait (chaos only) | 3 seconds (0 to 30) |
| Max commands per second | Limit for everyone together (chaos only) | 3 (1 to 10) |
| Strength | How far a step goes and how high a jump is | 2 (1 to 5) |
| Turn per command | How many degrees the character turns on !turnleft and !turnright | 45° (15 to 180) |
| Remove hostile creatures | Removes every creature in the radius that Hytale treats as hostile towards the player, before it gets close, while control is on. Friendly and neutral animals stay | off |
| Radius | How far around the player creatures are removed | 30 blocks (8 to 48) |
| Chat may revive | With !revive chat brings the player back after death without you clicking | on |
| Revive cooldown | Minimum time between two revives | 15 seconds (5 to 120) |
Chat commands
| Command | Short form | What happens |

!revive |

!control on / !control off |
Only you and your mods: switches control on or off |
German commands work as well: !vor, !zurück, !links, !rechts, !springen, !drehlinks, !drehrechts, !hoch, !runter, !leben, !steuerung an, !steuerung aus.
Important: while viewer control is on, these commands take priority over your own commands with the same name. If you have a command !left of your own, it only reacts again once control is off.
How the character behaves
- Walking: every command lets the character walk smoothly for about half a second. It jumps a one block step by itself
- Safety: it stops in front of harmful fluids like lava, harmful blocks and drops deeper than 3 blocks. Chat cannot simply walk it into lava
- Mining and placing: not available on Hytale yet.
!mineand!placedo nothing - Quiet: control commands show no chat message, no title and make no sound, so your picture is not covered
Vote or chaos?
With vote the system collects every command of a round. Every viewer has one vote, a new command replaces their previous one. At the end of the round the most wanted command runs, on a tie the one named first. This feels calmer and suits many viewers.
With chaos every command runs at once, only slowed by the cooldown per viewer and the limit per second. This is wilder and more fun with few viewers.
!revive works at once in both modes, with its own cooldown.
Frequently asked questions
The character does not react to the commands. Check that control is on, a player is chosen, the player is online and the server runs StreamBridge-Hytale 1.5.0 or newer. You see the connection at the top in the Server section.
Can I still play myself?
Yes, you keep playing normally, the commands only come on top. With !control off or the switch in the panel you take over completely again.
Do gifts and channel points still work? Yes, interventions through gifts or channel points keep running independently of viewer control.
Can I test that everything works?
Yes, in the server console sb test <player> steer direction=forward runs a single control action, the result is in the server log. An automatic self test like on Minecraft does not exist on Hytale yet.
