Should I finish this Robot from Castle in the Sky? #blockbench #3dart #pixelart

Infernal dragon for @BlockFactoryMC Realized I never posted this. Was a very fun model to make!

Hey guys! I’m looking for coders for my mod because I’ve run into some major issues. If anyone is interested, please get in touch. I'm fine with you publishing it in your name and taking all the monetization; my main goal is just to finally release it after four years of setbacks

@Simon_Hypixel I think so long as paid mods. Have a strong quality standard, and free mods have an incentive for the creators whether it be profit sharing, or something else then everything should go smoothly.

I want to talk about the in-game mod browser and monetization, but first: this is not a final answer or a locked policy! I'm brainstorming with the community because this is one of those decisions that can shape the game's future, and I want feedback before we commit to the exact model. I've had people in DMs tell me Hytale needs paid mods, because modders put real work into their creations and should be able to earn from them. I've also had people tell me paid mods would destroy the ecosystem, because the mod browser would stop feeling like a place to explore and start feeling like a store. Both sides have a point, and I don't think you have to pick one or the other. The model I keep coming back to is a hybrid that hasn't really been tried before: protect the player experience in-game while giving creators strong ways to earn player support. Important note: none of these changes the EULA. This is not about taking away what modders can do outside the game. It's about what we choose to show and promote inside the in-game mod browser. Here's my thinking: I want players to open the mod browser and feel like they're walking into a community library of cool things to try, not a shopping mall. That doesn't mean I think modders shouldn't make money. Quite the opposite. I bring years of experience in modding and monetization, and I know the scene has evolved a lot. Creators put serious time into their work, and great modders should be able to build an audience, earn support, and make a living from what they create. But there is a real cost when the first thing players see in a mod browser is price tags everywhere. Mods are most magical when trying them is easy. You see something weird, useful, funny, beautiful, or ambitious, and you install it because there's no friction. That sense of discovery matters a lot to me. There's also a deeper problem with paid mods that people don't talk about enough: the incentive structure between the game developer and the modder. Imagine a creator makes an amazing fishing mod and sells it for $5. It gets huge. Later, the game team decides that fishing should be part of the base game. Suddenly, there's tension where there shouldn't be any. The creator feels like the game is stepping on their work, and if the studio is taking a cut from mod sales, it now has a financial incentive to leave feature gaps rather than fill them. Why add fishing to the base game if you're making money from someone else's fishing mod? I really don't want that relationship. Our goal is to make a great game, give creators powerful tools, and let the whole ecosystem grow around that, not to leave holes for modders to fill and monetize. So the direction is: mods in the in-game browser are free to install. No price tags in the browsing experience. No paywall as the default relationship between player and modder. But creator support should be real. We will give players ways to support their favorite creators, make creator profiles matter, highlight great work, and offer Hytale-side rewards for supporting modders: badges, titles, cosmetics, and so on. For example, if a player supports several creators, they get a special reward from us, not because they bought a mod, but because they supported the people building the ecosystem. Longer term, there's room for something closer to an in-game Patreon-style system: support a creator, get early access to experimental builds or extra creator updates, while the mod itself stays free to browse and try. That part needs careful design, and I don't want to overpromise the exact shape today. The principle is what matters: support should be pull, not push. Players should feel invited to support creators they love, not pressured every time they browse. We make money when people buy the game and through optional cosmetics. That gives us a cleaner incentive structure: make Hytale better, invest in player experience, and help creators earn because players genuinely value their work. BTW, if we ever handle creator payments directly, the only reason to take a cut would be to cover transaction and operational costs. We're not designing this around taking a percentage from modders. This is not the obvious business-maximizing route. I know that. But I think it's the right one for players. I believe that if we are players first, we will do great in the long term. I'd rather have a modding ecosystem that feels open, generous, creative, and alive than one where every cool idea immediately becomes another checkout screen. I believe we can help modders make great money while giving players a much better experience than a storefront-first model! It will take time to get right, and some details will change as we build it. We'll share more as the mod browser takes shape, and I genuinely want to hear what players and modders think about this direction.

@_ianaduarte Wow.. i thought this was a drawing not a model. Amazing work creating such an organic shape with cubes!

y'all remember that ghast redesign i did a while back? i decided to upscale it, and since mojang already did a 32x version, i went for 64x (a decision i came to thoroughly regret about halfway into this lol) (also ik the top's not finished so shhh) #minecraft #blockbench

@JasperBoerstra This makes me wonder i've always kind of figured I would have to relocate to do it, are/have there been many remote opportunities to work on the game? Ive also always thought designing props for a park would be fun and with the recent announcement of Minecraft World Especially.

I'm always on the look out for talented Pixel artists that are willing to move to Sweden or already live in Sweden. Never be to shy to just @ me and show some stuff. I will likely not respond but I'll add you to my list of people to reach out to if we ever need more artists :)

I hope Minecraft Dungeons 2 is so well received and massively successful that mojang is forced to start adding biomes, features, and quality content into Minecraft to make it feel up to spec with dungeons 2

@head3mpty_ @popi8909 @artofsully Yes. I think that was obvious in the first question. Im curious if there was a reason they stopped releasing new content for it. What fundamentals are gonna be different in the new game to warrant it

@popi8909 @artofsully MC:D is 6 years old and got officially discontinued, man

oh hey it’s the game I’ve been helping develop at Mojang! 👀

@Plantkillable @Supplementariez You guys have been cooking so hard on this pack its unreal. Big props to you all

end crystals if they were dark fantasy

Wasteland test art.

Would you play Death Run in #Hytale The daggers make it really fun.

Working on a kingdom spawn for my upcoming #Hytale Server... #hytalebuilds May need some help 🤔

@arm64_v8a @Wynncraft Why would they do that. Maybe start playing games the way they are meant to be played and not obsess over downloading things to make it "better". Sometimes its fun to experience it as it

@Wynncraft maybe stop overriding internal Minecraft core shaders

Please stop asking about the shaders. There's no need for them in the Mistwoods! This is vanilla Minecraft.

@Simon_Hypixel @Prowl8413 we got 10 we got 10 but can we get 15 XD

@Prowl8413 I think what happened is that the notes said 10, but the code actually did 5. Mostly a typo while writing the notes, but I don't mind bumping it up to 10 in the next updates. I don't think there are any technical limitations.

I wonder why Hytale changed the number of preset save slots from 10 in PR2 to 5 in PR3? Some sort of technical issue or something? I definitely think the more the better here. I was going to make a bunch of different characters.

@Simon_Hypixel "- Added an Avatar Presets counter to the Add Preset button." I beg for a way to enable more avatar presets than 5, all I'm taking is my storage right i meaaaan?

@_JdoubleX_ What node did u use for those shapes is it cell noise?
