@ScourgeHH @nerwi_ @Simon_Hypixel @Prowl8413 Their goal is to blend sandbox/freedom of choice and playstyles with rpg elements and story, make it different on each playthrough for example by making the player spawn in a different zone each time, while locking certain resources to certain zones etc

@nerwi_ @Simon_Hypixel @Prowl8413 Probably no. U like Minecraft, tHytale isnt an open world sandbox, it will have a story and an ending

My thoughts on workstations in Hytale... they were fun, but I think they restrict the game in a bad way. Every playthrough will be the same. Either put them all together, storage within the detection area, or make a separate area for each one, with its own unique storage.

@Hytale I missed those seasonal posts 🥹 we are so back

Whether you are hunting for eggs or enjoying the spring weather, the Hytale team wishes everyone a very Happy Easter! 🥚🐰 #Hytale

@Slammaaa @CrimzonKrow @_Hawkon @Simon_Hypixel yessss I love the first one!! will listen asap

After 5 years, Hytale Lofi has a sequel! Up on my channel now!!! GO LISTEN AND WATCH!! Beautiful art with tons of community easter eggs by @CrimzonKrow Editing by @_Hawkon Thank you to everyone for all the support and thank you @Simon_Hypixel for saving Hytale 💜🎧

@breadleyishere plus it's super fun to experiment with and see changes in real time 😩

to any artists hesitant to try their hand at hytale's worldgen: i picked it up just over a month ago having never done a day of programming in my life, and this is where i'm at today you should definitely give it a try. entire worlds are waiting

@emotionalpilot @mrphbydun what was this entire video about

this is actually so scary. what do you mean their noses fit perfectly like a puzzle?

@Rayendavilmar @Simon_Hypixel @Prowl8413 with worldgen v2... maybe we could integrate biomes vertically on top of the existing horizontal integration? (certain biomes only generate ≥ certain height not sure if that's technically feasable)

@Simon_Hypixel @Prowl8413 We can have space mods now, all i personally won't is some sort of dynamic clouds with a set height limit to have builds where you're over the clouds like imagine skypea from one piece or Bespin's Cloud City from star wars, this one thing adds so much to what can be done.

Hytale is moving towards Infinite world height! Using "Cubic Chunks", you would only load a true radius around the player, allowing for worlds to be infinitely tall (or deep) without negatively impacting performance. THIS IS GAME CHANGING!

@SecretChiley @giggidy66611806 @Simon_Hypixel @Prowl8413 pretty sure it's on their radar, just not a very big priority

@giggidy66611806 @Simon_Hypixel @Prowl8413 They have hired the guy who made Voxy Mod for minecraft, which is very optimized LOD mod. I'd imagine LODs would be a thing eventually.

@LmjOkik87011 @Simon_Hypixel @RedNomster that's already the case if you explore a bit: you'll notice each zone has different sets of underground biomes, all height based as well :) zone 1 is fairly basic, but in devastated lands you can find sewers, caves, and if you go deeper... a very interesting place

The Vein—an esoteric monster eating the underbelly my Hytale biome. #Hytale #HytaleModding

@PacificKB @CurseForge this is the beginning of a creeepypasta "I played in a Hytale word in solo... until I saw traces of someone else."

What if villages were alive? What if villages could grow on their own? What if villagers had a real day night cycle? What if players could help them thrive or destroy them? That’s Project Civic Core, my solo entry for @CurseForge modjam. #Hytale #HytaleModding #HytaleNpc

@Yumi_lychee now imagine what this could look like with cubic chunks super tall worlds with randomized layers

Hi, I finally released first my mod on CurseForge! 😊 The Ascent is a worldgen mod inspired by Peak : climb through different stages and reach the summit 🔥 You can find it here: curseforge.com/hytale/mods/th… #Hytale #HytaleModding

@hytaler_ @Simon_Hypixel @GalacticGeek101 accounts.hytale.com/suggestions/69…

@Simon_Hypixel @GalacticGeek101 man can u answer me ? bc we really want to see backpack on the back of player🙏🏼

@Simon_Hypixel hope you are working on this too.

@Simon_Hypixel @chippygamingyt @thehotlineguy @LmjOkik87011 @lazorgurl a sandbox game with horizontal progression with rpg elements and a procedural immersive world sounds like the dream game

The chapters will introduce some goals to work towards, yep! The lead designer and I have lots of experience with boss fights/dungeon content, and as players, we even have a bunch of server/world firsts in WoW and other MMOs. In MC, we also did many experiments on the Hypixel network over the last few years. IMO, this is the easy part for us to design (however it's a lot of tech work). The hard part is the progression of the entire game while ensuring all the "activities", including end-game ones, all make sense in a sandbox game. This is what all sandbox games struggle with. If they go too deep into adventure, players play once and leave. If they go too deep with the sandbox, it doesn't appeal to the adventurers. We have a plan in motion; it will take a while to get all the elements in, but we will get there. FYI, the entire crafting/progression is getting a massive overhaul, from crafting to exploration to end-game content. I don't think people understand how far we are going to go when I say overhaul. This is TRUE early access, and I've been warning people for months now! I had to rebuild the entire team in just a few months, using an old version of the game that was going in a different direction, so its a lot of work, it's challenging, and fun. I'm thinking many years ahead; my kids are 2 and 3, and my goal is for them to play a good game when the time comes.

Pre-Release Patch Notes (April 2, 2026) Update 5 (Part 2) Enable via Launcher → Settings → Pre-Release We've moved pre-release patch notes to blog posts so they're easier to find and reference! We'll keep updating the same post as new parts ship. Patch notes for Part 1 and Part 2: hytale.com/news/2026/4/hy… We also added a new modders warning section at the bottom to help you get ahead of anything that might break.

@NotSafe4Wat @Simon_Hypixel Here, it'll occupy you instead of being a cartoon villain online

@tomdepain @Simon_Hypixel By the way, "the game is behind" isn't a DEFENSE of spending time implementing automation systems it never promised while many promised and showcased festures are nowhere to be seen.

Hytale foundation work is going really well, and we're shipping updates at a high rate! Early access is exactly the kind of development I enjoy: move fast, break things, iterate. This is way more fun than I expected! Needless to say, it was a very good investment to save Hytale. FYI, we've got a hiring push coming after the contest wraps up, and you can expect updates to come even faster in the months ahead. The team will be about 100 members, with very few management/producer roles. Organized chaos. Once the foundation is further along, we'll be moving into dungeons, boss fights, progression, and a ton of exciting content. We have a ton of surprises in the works that have never been done in any sandbox/survival games! Hard engineering challenges ahead ;)

@slikey @3Yeat3 @Kaupenjoe this and worldgen v2 is shaping this game up to be the greatest of all time

We are working on moving to cubic chunks and unlock "infinite" world height. You can see the foundations of that already as we introduced rocksdb into the codebase. This is an iterative process as we need to be extra sure that none of this work corrupts any existing worlds as we don't want to risk players having to give up their world.

We are working on integrating the node editor directly into the game to support all platforms and not rely on an external program. Right now the Node Editor is (just like the NPC Editor) a very early workflow demonstration prototype which was never intended for public release. We released it anyway even though it only supports Windows. We are pushing forward on getting that tooling and I hope we can give you an ETA soon for when we expect the first results of our node editor integration will be available.

@HugoTrork the craziest of times for gaming

the SaveHytale era was something else man

@4ate4 @HugoTrork

@HugoTrork tbh I still cant believe we ended up in the timeline where it actually got saved

@nepertunity @MedianiSamuel @_Meyos this is all procedural by the way, the future of gaming is THIS, not ai

@LucentAzxiar @Simon_Hypixel @ThePolopai yeah charges in general need to retain memory, but also can't allow us to charge a full meter before a fight and just walk up to a player and use it immediately

Recommendations for balancing on the non 0 but probably almost 0 chance the team hadn’t thought of this. Signature gage retains when swapped, but tracks the weapon it is retaining the signature gage for. Upon successfully hitting a target with a different weapon the signature gage of the first weapon is reset followed by the second weapon beginning its signature charge process. Would also love to see this type of functionality with crossbows as well, to allow 1 to be loaded before a fight but if you try to load a second one it either wouldn’t work, or reset the first and load the second. These are the 2 thoughts I figure would be the most balanced, and enjoyable systems that players would enjoy.

@cyberaxe @Prowl8413 @Simon_Hypixel @Hytale Kweebec Corner has been here since day 1 though and never gave up on the game, to this day doing news videos and events about it

I think you are wrong. You're doing a massive service for them and telling us about all this content they aren't. You are one of the few showing the world all the content new and pre-release. You are the MVP. You can build the most wonderful baseball field "in a corn field". But no one will know or show up but ghosts. If you build it, someone still has to tell the world about it. I learn alot from you.

UPDATE 4 IS OUT! I have recapped everything you need to know about the update in this video! @Simon_Hypixel and the @Hytale team totally cooked! youtu.be/43gc0rgyc6E

@Hashi13914152 @Simon_Hypixel @LimVeg @Propzie "please change the artstyle you have developed over the course of several years because I don't like how it looks"? you should be asking for texture pack support, how would you like if I told you to change YOUR art so it fits MY vision better

@Simon_Hypixel @LimVeg @Propzie please listen and change the art style

The new metal blocks definitely opens Hytale up to new creative build styles 🧑‍🌾🌱 #Hytale #HytaleUpdate4
