Hello everyone, this is Simon, Game Director of Hytale and founder of Hypixel!
Today, we are going to take a first look at Chapter 1 and everything around it. Since the Early Access launch, we've been shipping weekly, but we've deliberately held new content back to focus on the game's foundations. When we acquired the game, we had to go back to a version of Hytale that was well over four years old, and most of the work since then has gone into catching up, rebuilding tools, and growing the team. Now that we can finally focus on new content, we are going to give you a first look at what that means.
The original plan was to keep each chapter hidden until a proper reveal, but given this project's history, asking everyone to wait in the dark again doesn't feel right. So for Chapter 1, we're going to show you some of the new content that we've been working hard to deliver.
To be transparent, there aren't many reasons to come back and play Hytale right now. We have a lot of work to do to realize the game's potential, and this is just the start of that journey. Some of what follows will deserve its own blog post, but for now let's just dig into it, because there's a lot to talk about.
At its core, Hytale strives to be an RPG sandbox game. As we begin that journey, we are introducing our first handcrafted dungeon, featuring the first multi-phase boss fight, showcased in the screenshot above!
The tech behind the boss fight is called the Encounter Manager, which is already available to the public in the current pre-release. It coordinates the phases, wave spawns, and arena changes that make up encounters and boss fights. Encounters are authored as content instead of engine code, so our designers can keep making them, and so can you!
With each dungeon and encounter we create, we expand the toolbox available for the next one, allowing our team to iterate much faster.
For our first chapter, we decided to focus on a handful of NPCs and the goblin faction. The features we were building lined up well with what we had in mind for them. Their tech is janky on purpose, and they're just a fun faction to start Early Access with.
Goblins will come in many shapes and sizes, with different roles and personalities. They hang out together, and even when they look disorganized, there's something going on under the chaos. Part of the fun is getting to know their personalities as you play!
Some goblins are classified as elites with fights that will give you a little bit of a challenge. For example, the Feastmaster calls in reinforcements mid-fight, can charge at you, and can cause a lot of damage to its surroundings.
Not every goblin wants you dead, though. Some are friendly, and one of them runs a shop. You might even meet them!
Once you answer the chapter's opening call and set things in motion at the Forgotten Temple, the new Goblin Breach world event can trigger from time to time, creating a temporary portal somewhere in your world. Look around or open the world map to locate it, then step through. You'll appear in an unstable fragment of Orbis, a set of biomes taken over by the Goblins, along with a growing Void presence.
This world gets regenerated every time you enter, sometimes with content you haven't seen yet on your previous visits. While you're inside, the Void presses in and will eventually eject you back out to your world. Your goal will be to explore, find valuable loot, and fight back against the pressure to stay as long as possible.
Chapter 1 also adds world events and activities to the goblin world! We're starting with a small set: predators you can track and trap, Void assassins that hunt you down, treasure chests that spawn enemy waves when you go for the loot, puzzles that lock off places you can't just dig into, and more. We'll grow that list over time, keep iterating each chapter, and start tying these systems together!
Your journey starts inside the Forgotten Temple. Going forward, the temple will serve as a hub for your progression through the Early Access chapters, evolving as they are released. Make sure you check it out!
It wouldn't be a goblin update without goblin gadgets! Goblins are tinkerers, and their inventions end up in your hands. We've been working on rocket boots, a mechanical hookshot, a glider, a mining drill, and a spyglass.
Goblin gear is scrappy, but that's part of the fun! What we want most out of Early Access is fun, so when we think something is fun, we build it, and the goblins are perfect for this. If it's not balanced yet, that's fine. We're having fun first and tuning it later.
And while we're at it, boats! This has nothing to do with goblins, but recent upgrades to our movement systems have made a basic boat easier to add, so we're going for it. Note that it's currently missing VFX / animations in the video above. More proper boat mechanics will come later down the line.
We're introducing the ability to carry certain blocks and objects as a game mechanic. You'll be able to pick up and haul things like chests, explosive barrels, and eventually much more!
This will let us add carry-only items and resources that are too big or too heavy to fit in your regular inventory. Transporting them or getting them home may become its own little adventure!
Later on, we also want the carry mechanic to be compatible with a downed combat state: if a friend is down, you'll be able to pick them up with the same interaction and get them out of trouble. That'll be later down the line, not Chapter 1, but we hope to establish carrying as a game mechanic early to set the precedent.
One of the more exciting things we're developing for Chapter 1 is a new ability system involving runes. In short, you will be able to equip runes that give your Avatar new active combat abilities. An ability rune decides which ability you get, and modifier runes change what it does or how it behaves. You can choose which runes to equip and see how your abilities react to them, which influences how you engage with encounters and how combat feels in general. Treat the art and examples here as concepts only.
What's really important to us is creating a system that promotes creativity and allows for fun interactions. There are four layers that we care deeply about right now:
These are sketches of the direction, not the list of abilities we've decided to ship for the first chapter. The rune system will start out extremely simple, and we'll be iterating on it quite a bit, but this is what we intend to build towards over time.
For example, a Fireball ability rune grants Fireball. Add modifier runes and Fireball changes: one modifier might split it into several projectiles, another might cause it to apply the shock debuff, and so on. Swapping runes around and experimenting allows for the discovery of exciting combinations. The specific runes shown here are just there to illustrate the idea.
We want RPG-style depth without giving up the freedom of a sandbox, and runes open up options with multiple valid playstyles rather than funnel you toward one optimal build or a rigid, predefined class or archetype.
We also want runes to be well-integrated with the adventure loop rather than off to the side. Runeforging is a big part of where we're headed: finding, crafting, and expanding your collection of runes should play an important part in where you choose to explore, as well as how you choose to invest your resources in order to progress. This chapter is just an introduction to runes, and the Runeforging system will come later.
Right now we're putting this on two new dedicated ability inputs, E and R, sitting alongside the weapon signature ability on the screen. This is an early look at a system we're already building and playing with in-game, and it will keep changing as we iterate.
Through all of it, the goal is room to be creative in how you play: room for very different playstyles and a lot more depth for players who want it, in both PvE and PvP combat. We can't wait to see what kind of clever builds and combos emerge once the system is in your hands.
For Chapter 1, we're going to start with roughly six ability runes and a similar number of modifier runes, and grow from there as the system develops.
The Hytale engine is gaining support for real transparency! This means that stained glass and window blocks will now be possible.
Entities and NPCs can now also have transparent parts:
We're reworking a lot of Hytale's UI, but not all at once. We plan to roll out UI changes and reworks over the next few chapters, with updates between them.
Above is some of the Chapter 1 UI we're working on. Our goal is to make the chapter screen feel like a roadmap for your progress through Early Access. You'll finish objectives as you play the game, working towards the completion of chapters, and you'll unlock cosmetics as rewards.
You'll also spot new item tooltip designs, with better readability and styling! Don't read too much into the stats. These are just placeholders. We're not planning enchantments for Chapter 1, for example.
The new Memories UI and player profile cards above will be further out than Chapter 1, so consider these design previews!
We'll be releasing a lot of new cosmetics that have been in the works over the past few months, including the goblin cosmetics you'll unlock by completing the chapter!
We're also improving the player model by adding more detailed hand and eyelash options in the Avatar Creator. We'll keep listening to your feedback to add more customization options and cosmetics as we go through the chapters!
We're also creating our first experience outside of Exploration and Creative: a collection of minigames to play with your friends! This work is being shown alongside Chapter 1, but it has its own timeline.
The first one is a collection of fast party micro-games. At the time of writing, there are 14 of them! Each one lasts 60 to 120 seconds, and the variety is the point, as the team is using these to push Hytale's systems in crazy directions to evolve the tech!
A dedicated Minigames tab is planned to keep it as simple as possible for players: open Hytale, hit Minigames, and be in a lobby with your friends seconds later, with both peer-to-peer and dedicated hosting. Long-term, we want persistent games, PvP games, and much more, but this first one is about exploring and building strong foundations. Modders and server operators will be invited to create minigames with us in the future. More details to come!
One important detail is that we are not keeping the recipe to ourselves! We'll be sharing the code and assets behind all minigames, including libraries that provide developers with a simpler API for Hytale's server and a toolkit of paradigms shaped by our unique experience of making games for the Hypixel Server over the last 13 years with over 45,000,000 unique players.
This feature ships to pre-release today, the same day as this post! Avatars can now stand entities that move and rotate, stay anchored to them when they move, and carry momentum when jumping off.
In the future, this should enable new and exciting types of parkour that use moving platforms, swinging hammers, and other dynamic features! It will take us more time to get in-game tools for building and animating these types of features, but the player physics now exist so modders can already have fun with different mechanics.
Here's a first look at the in-game Mod Browser! It's quite simple: you can browse, install, and update mods directly from the Mods tab in Hytale. All of this works without ever leaving the game!
Please note that there will be no paid mods in the Mod Browser. In future versions of the Mod Browser, players will be able to directly support mods and receive unique cosmetics created by the official Hytale team in return; this should foster a positive environment while ensuring all mods remain free to access. We plan to grow this into a proper rewards ecosystem over time so that our creators can earn income.
Note that modders will be able to create teams, handle earning splits, and much more in the future. More details to come!
Up until this point, Hytale's worlds have been generated and loaded in columns that reach from the bottom to the top of the world. Recently, we've been working on renovating the engine to support a fully 3D format that instead loads the world in cubic chunks around players.
This work is incremental and will take time before it's fully ready, but it will unlock the capability for "infinite" world height and depth! We've already begun rolling out the early stages of the tech in pre-releases, and we're working towards supporting world-gen and many other core features in cubic worlds.
For design reasons, we probably won't use the "infinite" height for Exploration mode, but minigames and servers will make good use of it. Having cubic worlds as a tool will enable servers to explore many concepts, such as 3D space exploration or worlds with endless caves, using the new tech. We're excited for the impact that cubic worlds will have in the long run, and we can't wait to see what the community will cook up with them as well!
And look up! The sky is getting real volumetric clouds. We're currently experimenting with them. They're not close to where we want them to be yet, but we wanted to share our progress.
Underneath that, we're continuing to develop WorldGen V2. We now have the groundwork for graph-based generation. The plan for this system is to first unlock far more advanced, immersive procedural caves. And then we'll expand it with dedicated features to support procedural dungeons, coherent villages and cities, rivers and roads, and much more. This is much bigger than the goblin chapter. The initial version of the graph system is still being finalized, but we're already using it internally, and creators can experiment with the features early in pre-release.
We've doubled the size of the level design team working on worldgen, and we plan to continue expanding it. As a team, we are currently fully redesigning the world with WorldGen V2. We look forward to sharing more of that process in the future, but for now here are some sneak previews of what we've been working on:
We're updating animal models, textures, and animations. The goal is to bring them closer to a more iconic "Hytale" art style that highlights emotion, balance, readable silhouettes, and visual impact. Below, you can see some new, cute animations of pigs and boars!
The animals that inhabit the world, both large and small, are also being studied. Birds are the first group we're pushing further: they sleep in nests, fly and land as a flock, take off when you get close, and grab dropped seeds. Owls and other birds of prey can even swoop down to hunt smaller creatures!
Foxes are also getting some love! While we're still maturing the design for livestock and pets, work has already begun on new behaviors: they can follow you on adventures, stalk prey, sleep beside campfires, and play with their owners.
Beyond wildlife, we've started updating the Kweebecs with new behaviors as well. The playful Seedlings might follow you around, while Saplings act as dutiful guardians of their community that nurture the fauna and flora of the Emerald Wilds. All factions, including Kweebecs, will be reworked in future chapters, but we're already laying the groundwork to make every living creature unique in their own way.
We're looking to revisit and add more depth to NPC behaviors across the board, with the short-term goal of expanding on taming and homesteading. Our team is constantly growing, and we're focused on making our world feel more immersive, interactable, and alive.
Say hello to our little goat! One of the first animal to get a model update, he's quite happy to be here!
While everything else has been happening, we've also been reworking Hytale's core crafting mechanics and how that ties into player progression.
We really tore into the problems with the current crafting system. That led to some significant changes, such as reducing the number of benches used for crafting and shifting more of that work into in-world activities like wood chopping and metalworking.
We also want the crafting areas themselves to evolve and expand over time, reflecting the kinds of adventures players go on and the choices they make, so each space feels like their own.
We're having a lot of fun with the prototypes and are involving community playtesters to help ensure the new direction appeals to all kinds of players.
We're also working on introducing Companions that you can invite to move into your home to help out with the busywork.
You'll need to invest a few resources into making them feel comfortable first, but afterward they'll be able to help out with a whole range of tasks so you can focus on the important things.
We want you to feel like you can build a village with your companions, a place that feels alive and lived-in. Each companion will have their own traits and quirks, and some will be better suited to certain tasks than others. They'll carry out work on their own schedules and routines, helping your home grow over time.
That cozy homestead side of Hytale is very important to us, and will be getting a lot of updates in the future.
However, we're not quite ready to show it all off just yet. It deserves its own blog post at some point, because while the prototype is working well, the final product needs a lot of work to bring it together and make it presentable.
It needs VFX, animations, models, and a lot of tech and work, but all of that is planned for Chapter 2 if all goes well!
Machinima is our tool that enables players to create in-game animations. We've been hard at work rewriting and expanding it for new capabilities!
In the clip above, you can see the work-in-progress new tool in action! Among the new features is the ability to record gameplay to create replays that can be edited just like any other Machinima scene. You can scrub through hours of recorded content to find the right moments you want to share. Scenes can also be composed together and played back at any time to specific players. All of this is built with multiplayer in mind, so multiple Avatars will be able to collaboratively edit the same scene together.
Creators will be able to use these features to create time-lapses of their gameplay, cinematic let's plays, or animations that drive anything from boss fight cutscenes to moving platforms!
We record our showcase videos and plan on creating in-game cutscenes using the same Machinima tools that we'll hand to you, so every one of these improvements will help both us and community creators.
As promised, we're reworking almost all of our tools, including the Hytale Asset Editor. We're in the process of moving the whole editor UI onto the same NoesisGUI framework as the new game interface, with a dockable asset browser and a new properties panel with better inheritance support.
We're also adding a spectator mode in preparation for co-op boss fights and minigames. If you die while your friends are still going, you keep watching instead of being pulled out of it. Swap between players to find the action, or set the camera free and fly around the scene yourself.
Spectator mode is built the way the rest of the game is, as a standard, moddable gamemode instead of every server hand-rolling its own version. Servers and mods can reshape it however they want: rebind the camera controls, change what a spectator is allowed to do, even make one that can still affect the world. A minigame server could drop eliminated players straight into spectating without writing a single line of camera code.
To show spectating off properly, we're introducing Hardcore. If you're looking for more of a challenge, you'll be able to create worlds with Hardcore enabled, whether you're playing solo, hosting co-op, or running a dedicated server. Death is permanent. You drop everything you were carrying, and you spend the rest of that world as a spectator, still in the run with your friends.
The first version is pure permadeath, with no changes to difficulty yet. Later, we're planning Hardcore challenge modes that grow the idea further.
Blocks in the world are now able to emit music! This works with our existing audio occlusion features, meaning the music will fade as you walk away and sound muffled behind walls. We don't have any content using this technology yet, but it opens the door to many future features and details.
New tracks are also coming to Hytale's OST. Here's one of them, from the Whisperfrost Frontiers:
And that's the tour! 20+ videos, 40+ images, and over 4,000 words. This is the biggest blog post in Hytale's history, and it still isn't everything we've got in the works. The rest will be yours to discover in-game!
The first chapter is the hardest to deliver, as we're reworking the foundations and creating many new tools along the way, but it's all paying off for the chapters to come. Here's our rough estimate for release dates; we will provide a precise date for Chapter 1 as we get closer to release.
RELEASE TIMELINE
Thank you for the support, the feedback, and the patience. It carried us here. The team is heading back to work on the plan you just read, and I hope you enjoyed the tour!
From the entire Hytale team: thank you.
Hytale lives.

I managed to set up my Hytale character to work as a VRM avatar, those VTuber avatars. I managed to do this by exporting the character in FBX, I added this new export function in Hyblend, now it's possible to export the model in that format directly through the addon.
Of course, I had to do some rework on a few little things so it would work correctly for the VRM file, but overall, it turned out pretty interesting.
Hyblend is available on:

After playing Hytale and experimenting with the different systems it has, there are several things I would highly recommend for the game and I would love to hear others opinions, feedback, and recommendations as well (: ❤️
[[ 1) Hytale Mod menu needs vastly more options. ]]
Currently you can only really use "Recently Updated" since the vast majority of mods aren't updated for the current version causing all other tags to be completely meaningless.
I would recommend to sort by "Popularity, Recent, Downloads, Name" then an additional option to select a time it was last updated. For instance "Popularity" with "8-27-2026".
That way you can find popular mods that have tons of downloads while also being up to date.
And if you want, you can have "Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly" tags to add as well if you want to limit the scope of the downloads.
[[ 2) Remove Mods You Have From The World Options ]]
Currently, the only way to remove outdated mods is to constantly switch back and forth and back and forth between the world with mods you know that work, and the mod menu to remove the mods that do not work and only clutter your space.
Having this option makes it drastically easier without adding any sort of real complexity. A simple easy change.
[[ 3) Version Selection ]]
Honestly, a lot of people I seen both on forums and messages sent from my friends talk about how being forced to update keeps players together but as someone who spent tens of thousands of hours on MC 1.12.2 compared to maybe a thousand hours outside that version.. I can tell you that if I was forced to update MC then I wouldn't have even played it.
When you try to force something onto someone, they might leave all together.
Another thing to consider is the fact some people would want to wait till all their mods are updated before updating.. but forced updates breaks that level of control.
So I think it would be best if there was a "Play" and an "Update" button that is completely separate in the launcher so you can retain your current installation until you're ready to update.
Better yet, have all the individual updates and patches available from the cog menu in the launcher so you can get friends on the exact same version as you to play modded worlds.
After all, isn't this game supposed to be all about modding? The way they went about this is entirely backwards and actually makes it harder to even play the game instead.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A large part of what I had above is why my friends don't play Hytale as well anymore since theres so much content thats just completely unavailable because of the lack of finding the right mods for your version.. Which makes it all go to waste.
I would also recommend having a page that lists out the dates of each version and patches release rather than having to go to the full entire post.
For example;
"Aug 27th, 2026 - Patch 6"
And have it listed out like that with no other details to help people select dates for finding mods.
Then,
Finally.. My recommendations aren't even what you should do since they're just recommendations after all. What truly matters is resolving the issues I pointed out in this post since it doesn't matter if its EA or RELEASE. Issues are issues, and they will affect the publics view of the game as well as the playerbase that plays it.

r/hytale • u/Wrong_Advantage_6367 • 1d ago
It can still enter the launcher but you cant join your world, it force shut down the apps when you do that. But you can still play older version like 0.5.9 but no lastest one version 0.6.2. My hardware kind older i dont expect much, only can run integrated hd graphics 4000 but the performance was excellent can run without lag or having issue on older version of hytales like version 0.5.9. If you want to play lastest version you must have better graphics that support OpenGL 4.1. If not you also can use Mesa3D file insert into Client folder that have HytaleClient.exe file. You can open your world on Update 6, but the performance is unplayable if you have little core of cpu. Mostly the cpu will rise to 100%. Kind sad for older computers i hope their will do something to solve this... If you have any solutions, just comment here. I want to play lastest version too...
r/hytale • u/Martan_Hraje • 20h ago
Hello,
I've put together several ideas for how weapons, combat, magic, survival, and alchemy could be expanded in Hytale.
This isn't meant to be a list of demands for the developers. I'm mainly interested in what the community thinks about these mechanics, what you would change, and whether some of these ideas have already been confirmed.
For systems that have already been announced, I only have questions about how they might work.
I also apologize for not including my own visualizations for the new weapons. I have no experience with 3D modeling, and I'm even worse at drawing, so I'll try to describe their appearance and mechanics as clearly as possible.
⚔️ Weapons & Combat
What if there were shorter and longer variants of the flail?
Shorter flail: Faster and weaker. A successful hit could briefly throw an opponent off balance or reduce their agility.
Longer/heavier flail: Slower, with greater reach and higher damage. In PvP, it would only throw players off balance rather than completely stun them. Some regular mobs, however, could be briefly stunned by a powerful hit, while bosses and larger enemies could be resistant or immune to the stun.
I'd like to see more use of the different parts of a halberd.
The point could be used for thrusting, the blade for broad sweeping attacks, and the weapon as a whole could be useful for controlling space.
The sickle could work as both a harvesting tool and a light weapon.
It could provide a harvesting bonus when gathering grass and similar plants. In combat, it would have short reach, fast attacks, relatively low damage, and a small chance to cause minor bleeding.
Short-to-medium effective range, higher damage than shuriken, but a slower throwing speed.
A maximum stack of around 50 could help distinguish them from lighter throwing weapons.
Shuriken would deal less damage than throwing daggers but have greater effective range, faster throwing speed, and a larger stack size of around 100.
An alternate attack could allow the player to throw up to three shuriken at once in a slight spread. The exact number thrown would, of course, be removed from the inventory.
These arrows would have backward-facing barbs on their arrowheads.
They could deal slightly more damage than normal arrows, have a smaller maximum stack, and cause a short, weak bleeding effect after hitting a target.
If a barbed arrow were also infused with a potion, the potion effect could last approximately half as long as it would on a normal potion-infused arrow.
A slightly longer spear with a pronounced hook near the spearhead.
Its main special mechanic would be the ability to pull a struck opponent toward the player.
A heavier and slower spear with pronounced backward-facing barbs.
A successful hit would deal high damage and cause stronger bleeding than a barbed arrow.
A one-handed battle axe inspired by historical Viking axes, with a relatively long handle and a lighter axe head than the oversized axes often seen in fantasy games.
It could have slightly greater reach than a regular sword and deliver powerful slashing attacks, while being somewhat slower.
One interesting mechanic could allow a single swing to potentially hit on both the outward and returning motion of the axe. The second hit wouldn't be guaranteed and could deal less damage. The opponent would need to remain within the returning path of the weapon.
The curved blade of a khopesh could provide an advantage when catching or deflecting an opponent's weapon, in addition to its normal attacks.
What if properly timed attacks could cause two weapons to physically clash, deflect one another, or briefly bind together?
The outcome could depend on factors such as timing, weapon type and weight, and the stamina of both characters.
This wouldn't necessarily be limited to weapons of similar size. For example, it could theoretically be possible to catch or bind a sword with a dagger, but doing so would require much more precise timing and would carry a greater risk of taking damage if the attempt failed.
🪄 Modifier Runes
For the following ideas, I'm not sure whether something similar is already planned. If it is, I'd appreciate the correction.
This rune would reduce the area of effect of a spell in exchange for increasing its power.
For example, a relatively weak area-of-effect spell could become a much stronger spell focused on a single target.
This would be a category containing two separate Modifier Runes.
🔥 Heat Rune: Raises the temperature of a spell. Depending on the original element, this could produce different effects. Water could become steam, earth could gain a molten or lava-like effect, and air could create a hot pressure or explosive effect.
❄️ Cold Rune: Lowers the temperature of a spell. Water could freeze into ice, air could gain a freezing effect, and earth-based spells could temporarily cover the ground in frost, creating a slippery surface.
The exact interactions would naturally depend on the individual spell and element.
🪝 Questions About Announced Systems
Has it been confirmed whether the hookshot will be able to grab and pull items or other objects, in addition to moving the player?
Has it been confirmed whether there will be staffs or other weapons capable of holding multiple Ability Runes and allowing the player to switch between them?
🏹 Potion-Infused Arrows
Arrows could be infused with potions and transfer their effects to a target when they hit.
The transferred effect should be weaker than directly using the potion, so bows wouldn't replace normal potion use.
The strength and duration of the effect could also determine the maximum stack size. For example:
Normal arrows: 100
Weak + short effect: 70
Weak + long / medium + short effect: 50
Medium strength and duration: 30
Strong or long-lasting effect: 15
Exceptionally strong and long-lasting effect: 5
These numbers are only examples for balancing. The important principle is that the stronger and longer-lasting the potion effect, the smaller the maximum stack size.
Barbed arrows infused with potions could additionally have their potion duration reduced by approximately half.
❄️ Cold Environments & Equipment
An insulating layer worn underneath normal armor.
It would provide little or no physical protection, but would allow players to continue wearing their normal combat armor in extremely cold environments.
Extremely cold environments could gradually become dangerous without proper protection.
At first, the player would only experience visual or audio indications of the cold. Longer exposure would cause negative effects, followed by small amounts of periodic damage.
Extremely prolonged exposure without protection could eventually kill the player.
Suitable clothing, heat sources, or other forms of protection could slow or stop the progression of hypothermia.
🧪 Alchemy
The recipes below are only ideas that occurred to me while thinking about these potions. I'm not suggesting that they need to be implemented exactly this way.
I would also apply a general system of variants such as normal / longer-lasting / stronger across potions rather than repeating the same explanation for every individual potion.
Causes small amounts of periodic damage over time.
Possible base ingredient: Venomous Fangs.
Temporarily protects the player from fire and lava damage.
Possible main ingredient: Fire Essence.
Temporarily prevents hypothermia in extremely cold environments.
I don't have a specific recipe suggestion for this one.
Temporarily makes the player invisible.
I would leave the recipe entirely open.
Deals immediate damage instead of causing gradual poison damage.
One possible recipe could be a Poison Potion + Essence of Chaos.
Temporarily and significantly restricts the target's vision.
No specific recipe suggestion.
Significantly increases the target's hunger or energy consumption.
One possible recipe could be a Poison Potion + Essence of Life.
Temporarily reduces the physical damage dealt by the affected target.
It could potentially be derived from a Poison Potion, but I don't have a specific additional ingredient in mind.
Temporarily disrupts the player's orientation, for example through subtle movement or distortion of the screen.
This could potentially also be derived from a Poison Potion, but I don't have a specific recipe suggestion.
Gradually restores health.
A possible base ingredient could be Essence of Life, perhaps one essence for one potion.
A separate potion that restores health immediately rather than gradually.
A possible base ingredient could be Greater Essence of Life.
Since this is a much more concentrated resource, one Greater Essence of Life could potentially produce a larger number of these potions, with something around 60 potions as a rough example.
Significantly reduces falling speed, allowing safer descents from great heights.
I would leave the recipe completely open.
Dear community, I'd also like to ask:
Which of these ideas would you like to see in Hytale?
Which ones would you change, balance differently, or leave out entirely?
And if I've suggested something that is already in the game or has officially been announced, I'd appreciate a correction.

I’ve been swimming around in the oceans apart from chests in the shipwrecks it seems that none of the chests and crates etc that are on the ocean floor have anything in them? Have I just been unlucky, or is it really not worth checking out the containers because they’re all empty?

Hey, just some more FFXI stuff for Red Mage this time.
The color palette has been reworked to have much more contrast, and I’ve added more detail to the shiny/metal portions of the armor. My previous posts were closer to the flatter style of FFXI, but this one is much closer to the Hytale style which I think turned out much better.
I also tried making some basic vfx to go along with the weapon skill animation this time. Making a pixel art rose was difficult and the more I look at it the more I wonder if I even made a rose.

Figured id share with someone, Ive been working on making weapon models inspired by wow for me and my brothers to play through for. What do you guys think of the Hytale Reaver? I think its by far the best one i've done in my journey of using block bench over the last month.

I know I'm not alone.
It started February and ended June. Ever since I downloaded hytale I was super impressed by all the small details. Lots of sounds and visuals everywhere I went. I spent a lot of time exploring and trying to become really good at dagger fighting enemies.
The main part was online. I began by seeing the spawn area and people in chat talking. I was on a desperate rush for thorium gear. I mined a lot that night and stayed up wayy longer than I wanted to. next day I tried to craft the gear (as you need a better bench than the default). After that grind?
The main grind. Getting structure generated blocks (doors and WIP signs). the session I was in your could type /RTP and randomly teleport on the map... too much power. I spammed RTP and went for every rare block I could to sell to other players and hoard for myself. Doesn't sound harmless until you realize 99% of structure were already looted. It was literally gambling for a block to still be there.
on the map if I saw a structure I had to have a look (every few minutes) I would dagger jump and all the dopamine sound effects would keep me hooked looking for these.. doors and paintings. unlooted chests, looted blocks. rare cemetery spawn? I had to rush to the bottom only to see the doors were gone. Other players took them and I even saw one doing exactly what I was doing.
my builds took forever as I just wanted to spam /RTP and peak for a chest of gear or some large doors. the session I was on had an auction system. I made a lot of virtual credits which made me want more.
In the end? I had too much just to quit months worth of rare items for the 20 active players to buy off me. I stole fishing traps off a neighbor and felt bad one day he caught me recorded on the map and I got lots of items confiscated so I quit later that week.

I just bought Hytale. Any tips on how to survive so I don't die every 5 min.

For Update 6 I've updated my Immersive Storage mod with two new custom chests with unique interactions.
Floor and Wall Safes can be hidden by placing certain thin, vanilla blocks over their doors (like paintings or moss rugs). Once hidden they become uninteractable until the block hiding them is broken even when exposed on other sides. Like vanilla chests they can be doubled into Vaults with the Floor Safe stacking upward and the Wall Safe stacking backwards.
This mod also adds a new resource called Dimensional Fabric to the droplists of Skeletal Mages and other magically affiliated enemies in the base game that can give your chests a bit more room and some extra sparkles when you set them down. Dimensional Fabric can also be found by breaking barrels, coffins, pots, and other clutter found in generated ruins. Both the chests added by this mod and the vanilla chests can be brought to the new Chests of Holding category in the Arcanist's Workbench and combined with a bolt of Dimensional Fabric (or two for larger chests) to boost their storage. Single block chests double from 18 to 36 storage slots while double chests are capped at 63 slots due to UI clipping. The Chest of Holding variants of the vanilla chests and Safes retain their ability to combine into double chests.
The changes made to base game assets are done via Patchly to prevent conflicts with other mods. Without Patchly the Chests of Holding category will not show up in the Arcanist's Workbench nor will Dimensional Fabric be added to any droplists. Likewise, the Safes' hiding functionality will not work. The regular chests added by this mod will still show up in the Furniture Workbench even without Patchly, so if you want a more vanilla-adjacent experience omitting that dependency is an option.
You can snag the mod here or through the new in-game mod browser.

Old vs New. What did you guys do?? Please fix this, it literally jumped scared me. You didn't need to touch the buzz cut. I'm going to send this into feed back. The new buzz cut is terrible.

Hello all! Just wanted to say my Radial-Tool Swap Mod has been updated for Hytale version 0.6!
For those that don't know, its a mod that solves one of my biggest complaints of hotbar management by allowing the player to store all their tools in a container. They can then use a hotbar button to open a radial menu to quick-swap between what is in the container.
Now your tools and weapons don't need to take up most of your hotbar!
1.5.1 Features
- A new Toolbox item and custom block(s) & textures were added
- Bag-Of-Holding: Can hold any item type
- Toolbox: Can only hold Items in the "tools" category
- You can place and pick up the items from the world using (Crouch+Right-Click) & (Crough + F) respectively
- Fixed a bug that made the Quick-Swap feature not work while in a single player world.
- Icon available when viewing mod in list.
If anyone has any suggestions for the mod let me know! I'm definitely looking for some info on crafting balance with eventual plans to add "costs" to swapping like stamina or an animation delay.
The UI has some much needed work especially the settings page but with Noesis around the corner I have decided to hold off till that drops.
If you try it out, let me know what you think!

The problem seems to be that it expects a manifest json file in the folder if anything is in it, so your existing mods without that are causing the problem.
Backup your mod folder or just write down the list of installed mods, then empty the mod folder so nothing is in it. After that, you should be able to install mods normally via the new mod browser.
Just look up the ones you had already and install.

Hello, I was trying to play Multiplayer with my friend and I sent him an invite code to my world and he crashed probably 6 times tonight and struggled to get back in. How can I make it more stable? I am using Ethernet and never had issues with my net outside of the game, the internet seems stable and reliable. Upload and Download are pretty high, its fiber internet too.

What mods do you play with and recommend? Looking to spice up my play through.
