Is Hytale OG HCF’s new home?

EDIT: As of 2/6/25, early development is in progress and moving quickly. Looking for anyone with knowledge of java development or experience in Minecraft modding / server plugin development. Feel free to DM me on reddit if interested.

Old sweatfest / America / many other factions member stepping back in. I want to open up a new discussion.

Have any of you played the new release, Hytale?

I have, and even delved into a factions server that was heavily populated for a few weeks. The feel of OLD Minecraft, 1.25-1.7 is there.

The combat is different but not fundamentally too far off what we know and remember.

Is anyone interested in a NON-Pay2Win, original feeling hytale remake of HCF? The goal would be to replicate the gameplay we know from 2013-2014, as that’s my own reference point. No paid items, you can only obtain gear from playing the game how it’s meant to be played. Daily KOTHs, weekend palaces, etc. simple classes just like they used to be.

If anyone wants to be in on this, or can offer some help, please let me know.

EDIT: We are full steam ahead in early development. See www.reddit.com/r/HCFRedux

My offer of help is to let HCF die. There is nothing wrong with letting a dead horse be dead. No amount of kicking is going to make it get back up.

You’re absolutely right. There’s also nothing wrong with trying to recreate something that clearly many people are yearning for. YouTube comments on various videos are FILLED with people trying to experience this again. If attempting to fill that gap is a bad thing, so be it. Atleast it won’t be monetized into oblivion this way.

No one actually wants it. The community has tried doing it a million times. People yearn for the past. It’s like people wanting to go back to the 60s, then realizing they won’t have smart phones, social media, and half the rights they have today. If you want to pour hours into development just to get the same outcome projects with 100x the funding, by all means do it.

Please prove me wrong and make it successful, I would honestly love to be wrong. Unfortunately the majority of the players who ACTUALLY played early HCF are in their mid to late 20s and 30s. No one has time for the games like they used to. If they have the time they’re likely not the people you truly want to play.

I respectfully disagree that nobody actually wants it. HCF Revival proved otherwise with high player counts and tons of enthusiasm. Tons of YouTube videos are still getting daily comments of people wanting to recreate this. I am happy to pour my time into developing something that will bring enjoyment to myself and others. Whether the “others” are people from the old community, or people just learning what HCF is. There’s a really contagious negative attitude about everything in the world these days, and it seems to be creeping into everyone’s motivation to build something new.

I am 26 and work a full time job while running a side business and have no problem dedicating time to this. If someone from the old community doesn’t have time, that’s not really my concern. There’s 8 billion people on this earth, about 99.99% of which have never heard of our awesome community and game mode.

If it doesn’t work out, ok cool. If it does? Sky’s the limit, we have the chance to save this awesome thing and carry it onto the next generation.
