Override entity xp and level

You can override level and XP for specific NPCs (e.g. a mod’s boss or custom mob) so they don’t use the default zone/instance range. Use this when a mod adds entities that should be harder, give more XP, or ignore level scaling.

​
Two places to override

  • ZoneLevelConfig overrides apply everywhere in the open world for that entity.
  • InstanceLevelConfig overrides apply only inside that instance and take precedence over ZoneLevelConfig for mobs in that instance.

​
1. Find the entity id

You need the entity type id (e.g. Bear_Grizzly, MyMod_Boss_Phase2). Options:
  • Mod documentation - Many mods list their NPC/entity ids.
  • Plugin logs - With Debug: true in RPGLevelingConfig.json, the plugin may log entity ids when mobs spawn or when XP is awarded; check the server log for the id.
  • In-game - Some mods or dev tools show entity type on hover or in a debug panel.
  • Trial - If the mod follows Hytale naming, ids are often ModName_EntityName (e.g. Yungs_Skeleton_King). You can add an override with your guess and see if level/XP change for that mob.
The id is usually PascalCase or Snake_Case and must match exactly (case-sensitive).

​
2. Override in the open world (ZoneLevelConfig)

File: mods/Zuxaw_RPGLeveling/ZoneLevelConfig.json Add or extend the top-level EntityOverrides array:
Example: a mod adds a world boss CoolMod_Ancient_Golem. You want it always level 90 and to give 3000 XP per kill:

​
3. Override inside a dungeon (InstanceLevelConfig)

File: mods/Zuxaw_RPGLeveling/InstanceLevelConfig.json For mobs that only appear inside an instance (e.g. a dungeon boss), add overrides in that instance’s EntityOverrides:
Same fields as in ZoneLevelConfig: EntityId, Level, DisableLevelScaling, XP. These apply only when the player/mob is in that instance; they override ZoneLevelConfig for that instance. See Dungeon mod setup for a full Skeleton Dungeon example.

​
4. Summary

After editing, save the JSON file. The plugin reads config on load; restart the server or reload the plugin to apply changes. For full field reference, see Configuration → Zone Level Config and Instance Level Config.
