I built my first #hytale home together with a little help from @realBoomPixel :D Inspiration: de.pinterest.com/pin/3310850101… #hytalebuild @Simon_Hypixel @slikey

You are absolutely right, but I think your answer mostly applies to flow accumulation during real-time chunk generation in an infinite world. My example was slightly different: I was talking about restricting that analysis to a predefined finite region, such as the center of the world. In that case, the hydrological analysis would not need to run per chunk at runtime, but only once for that bounded area - a region that is fully known, where a heightmap can be derived and analyzed. Within that region the flow accumulator could run across the entire dataset. The rest of the world could still use cheaper procedural methods. Even if something like this never became part of the core generator, having tools or nodes in the worldgen editor that allow creating river masks like this would be incredible. Just imagining what worlds could look like with that is exciting. Expensive for sure, but incredible. @slikey @Simon_Hypixel

I can give you an answer to that. In addition to being extremely heavy, flow accumulation is never a viable solution for real-time procedural generation. This is because it depends on the specific tile being processed, which leads to discontinuities between tiles. So what we do instead is fake it. It’s a bit complex, but one approach is to use gradients and periodic functions like cosine. With this, you can imitate erosion while preserving continuity.😉

Yeah. Worldgen V2 even has native support for infinite height generation. It is a major difference between V1 and V2. IMPORTANT: What the engine will be capable of and what we chose to use for adventure mode are 2 different things. When I talk I always talk about the engine perspective. We will have the ability to generate incredible deep undergrounds and like you said also Space with for example asteroids. How all of this will ladder into LODs, NPCs Spawning, Minimap, etc. etc. is a massive topic and we are going to tackle this in phases with our current push getting us to the point that we can start generating 3D Infinite worlds using WorldGen v2 even if systems like Minimap, NPC Spawning, etc. are not fully functional in these worlds. As of right now I see no indication that we would lose performance through this work and instead even allow us to have more control over sparse chunk data. Don't expect this within the next few updates. We will continue working in this direction over months. We will not delete your worlds or make them impossible to load. It will have effects on mods as we will change assumptions about our Chunk entities, but we commit to give good migration guidance.

If the BaseHeight is supposed to be fixed, why does the default biome still generate terrain down to "bedrock" height instead of staying at the "base" height like it used to? (Y=100 instead of Y=0) Or could it be that we're actually talking about different BaseHeight bugs? (reddit.com/r/HytaleModdin…)

Trork Outpost #Hytale #Hytalebuild

@Arcaniax @Hytale @Ktar5 Yeees there we go 🎉

Very happy to announce that I am now working on the @Hytale team! I am very excited to be working alongside @Ktar5 to make Hytale Creative Mode the best it can be! 🔥 Thank you all for all the years of support on my plugins 🙏 I'll still be working on Minecraft stuff!

@HypeSe7en Recreating games 1:1 in Hytale would be difficult, because I assume you would violate the intellectual property rights of the respective game 🤷‍♂️

These guys are making the best shooter experience yet. It's just a matter of time before we get CS2 in Hytale (or Valorant)!

Swamp Tradepost #Hytale #Hytalebuild

Out of topic, but the active hotbar slot was improved for white regions, but in desert areas the issue still isn’t fully solved. Even with the yellow dot, it’s still easy to lose track of it. Or is it just me? 🤷‍♂️ Maybe it would be better if the background of the active slot had a different color than the others — or if the slot popped out more / had a slightly different size? Everyone should try this: close your eyes, scroll randomly in a desert region (like in the screenshots), and then see how fast you find the active slot. I always need a moment to locate it 😅

We are aware of this issue and working on a fix. Sorry about the regression.. :(

The Hytale HATE Train is about to CRASH OUT! 😡 #hytale #minecraft Watch this if you still think the game looks like dog 💩 > youtube.com/shorts/omMqAru…

@realBoomPixel @JeremyJeracraft @Hytale A nightmare for builders 😥

@JeremyJeracraft @Hytale Totally. Textures clearly need improvement, as there are still several inconsistencies, especially on rotated blocks (see examples here: x.com/realBoomPixel/…)

How can people say this looks like Temu Minecraft 😭 Sure, some textures could improve but damn I'm loving this game 🔥 @Hytale #Hytale

.@Slikey @ThomasFrick @Simon_Hypixel Do you see a possibility in the future to UV-lock individual model boxes, or introduce another technique that helps textures look correct on rotated blocks? Even rotation-dependent textures (e.g. Stair_Corner_Right_Facing_North.png) would already help a lot to avoid the visual inconsistencies seen on rotated stairs and corners. Some blocks just end up with a bit weird textures in certain rotations, which can look a little off. Fixing those would make everything feel a lot more consistent.

@Simon_Hypixel A beard like in my profile picture 🧔 Currently they are all a bit too long

Looking for your Hytale avatars requests! I'll have the art team take a look at what you want added to the avatar creation! More hats? More hairstyles? More colors? Give your suggestions and ideas in this thread!

The River Keep - A Build in #Hytale

I rebuilt the 2021 house in #hytale today 👀 #hytalebuild @Hytale #house

@Simon_Hypixel A small one: I needed Hardwood today and had no idea which of the 32 wood types it was. A short description on trunks would make this way more beginner-friendly

What are your top 5 small changes you want in Hytale? Gathering feedback today to do some quick changes that can be easily implemented in the next few days. I got a list of 100+ of my own, trying to see where we align!

@Dycbf1 @realBoomPixel @Simon_Hypixel @slikey 'fantasy building' then I just clicked through some pictures and ended up on the site I mentioned in my post

@xGrounder @realBoomPixel @Simon_Hypixel @slikey what did you type up?

I built my first #hytale home together with a little help from @realBoomPixel :D Inspiration: de.pinterest.com/pin/3310850101… #hytalebuild @Simon_Hypixel @slikey

@Dycbf1 @realBoomPixel @Simon_Hypixel @slikey Idk, I just searched on google for inspiration 🤷‍♂️

@xGrounder @realBoomPixel @Simon_Hypixel @slikey is this based off of a house from oblivion?

@Prowl8413 like that? 👀

Found a good change for whoever is in charge of building at Hytale! Corner flat roof blocks when in this sort of configuration

@quinnventory @realBoomPixel @Simon_Hypixel @slikey Thank you :D I’ve spent a lot of time in Minecraft 🫣

@xGrounder @realBoomPixel @Simon_Hypixel @slikey First... Home? Man, this is something else! Great work!
