@Lionfire001 @Simon_Hypixel @not_mynes Maybe they are good at seeing the potential in projects that won't be bought and simply won't die again.

@Simon_Hypixel @not_mynes You must have quite the game if minecraft is panicing and copying you.

*Hytale adds friends list 1 month ago *Mojang announces friends list for Java Edition This is exactly what I meant when I said competition is good in a genre. This is a big win for Minecraft fans 🔥

@Simon_Hypixel Would be cool to have something like brew do that you can create static hosted "taps" and add in your own terms to the game directly, give this and the option to repositories already in the game, all the options in one, for the devs to choose.

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.

@true_cena67 @lazorgurl They are already working on doing something like P2P and NAT Traversal, just wait.

@lazorgurl Can you guys please add a way to bypass the firewall strict msg when connecting friends

Lil' update on Hytale pre-release today to address some feedback on the social sidebar: - Toggle the sidebar with a hotkey of your choosing. - A bug that prevented scrolling the friend list has now been resolved. - Favorite Friends are now marked and prioritized on the Local tab. - Fixed an issue that could cause new friends to appear multiple times. - Fixed an issue that sometimes prevented Discord friends being added as Hytale friends. - Ensured that no actions in Hytale unintentionally block or removed existing Discord friends. - Fixed a number of issues that caused rich presence or profile pictures to load incorrectly. More to come next week, but these are the improvements we could get in before the weekend. Keep the awesome feedback coming! ❤️

@lazorgurl Please, add granular privacy permissions on the Discord Rich Presence, like, i may not want to show all my friends the world or server i'm playing, but i still want to have the integration and see my discord friends in-game.

⚙️We’re back with some updates!⚙️ There’s more work going into the mod now, so here’s a clip showing the current state of the mechanical systems: rotation, shafts, and early system behavior. Building consistent and scalable energy systems for automation is still the focus of our mod for @Hytale. Credits to @Riku_Tatsu for the models and textures. #Hytale #HytaleModding

@slikey @4tiky @mrloic23 @Buuz135mods Please, implement some kind of delta updates on that, because keeping 3 to 4 updates with all the files being repeated just to play on servers and use mods is something that most players (mostly with the price of storage nowadays) won't like that much.

Yes, I forgot the easter holidays, whcih delayed a few things 😅 For now what I can say is that we will make multiple patchlines available where users can select the update they want to play on (e.g. Update 3, 4, 5) and stay on these updates for longer. The exact philosophy will be explained later. The version number itself currently being a hash and not SemVer is still to be discussed after easter. Sorry about the delay.

Update 5 will bring death to another of my mods by being implemented into the game. You will be able to have multiple huds elements without using MultipleHUD (RIP) (This change wasn't mentioned in the patch notes, Im not sure if was part 1 or 2)

@Simon_Hypixel @TheNeonGA Any updates to 4-way connecting blocks? Thanks

@TheNeonGA Glass is actually a rendering limitation atm, but we got new rendering devs that joined and will be joining us, growing our team so we can do some fun stuff in the near future :)

Lots of new blocks coming to Hytale in tomorrow's pre-release 👀

@AkitaOnRails Troca pro forgejo, é gitea com esteroides

@reynolds_1997 @Simon_Hypixel @Prowl8413 Well, that is literally what i said... Also, avatar websites like namemc could easily decode that and share entire avatars with users.

@fptbb @Simon_Hypixel @Prowl8413 Or something more user friendly like a unique avatar code that’s generated based on the options selected. Users could then share that code to friends / community to import avatar customisation options. Similar to how COD do their weapon build codes.

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 @Prowl8413 Why not just letting users import avatars as json, like the invite code?

@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.

@Simon_Hypixel Cozy feeling incoming

@Simon_Hypixel Glass block (solid and panel borders), more block options (modern builds, maybe painting blocks in the future), fix on the fences not connecting 4-way.

What small features or quality-of-life improvements would you like us to add to Hytale in the short term? I already have a massive list from the in-game feedback button, Discord, Reddit, YouTube, and other social platforms, so we are not running out of things to do! That said, I am curious to see what you think should be the highest priority!

@0qYuki Esse jogo não é só hype, é um jogo diferente, criado pra ser algo que a comunidade espera (e os criadores esperam), não superar minecraft, pode no futuro superar em vendas, até porque é mais barato, mas não é esse o objetivo. O objetivo é ter um jogo bom pra jogar.

Hytale é realmente bom? Ou é só hype do momento mesmo? Pq se for pra ser melhor do que mine…

@slikey Please, fix the crash when you click to open the folder of a save on linux.

We are actively looking into the following regressions introduced by Update 2: - Users with IPv6 (locally enable, ISP doesn't support it) appear to have issues with token validation & are unable to play the game. -> Fix: Disable IPv6 on your network (=Fix pending release) - Teleporters become unusable / you get stuck in them when you have high latency due to a too low cooldown. We are increasing the cooldown and fix it by properly detecting entry. (=Fix pending release) - BetterMap mod may have been broken due to a change. It results in the map being invisible. -> Fix: Update the mod or disable it until an update is available. - Equipping armor sometimes crashes the game. (=Fix pending release) - UI Hot Reloading due to working on a mod may crash the game. - Spawn rate from NPCs seems to have changed more significantly than intended. - NVIDIA Low Latency Mode = Off may cause higher apparent network latency. Consider turning it on in your NVIDIA Control Panel.

@FraWolf__ @Simon_Hypixel Then websites that display avatars can let you copy the code, just like you copy the friend invite code, and import it into the game, that would be incredible.

@Simon_Hypixel You could also include some way to inport/export presets? Since they are basically JSONs, would be cool to share those files (of course, it needs to be locked for not-owned cosmetics)

Hytale's second update is now live! Another quick patch with lots of fixes, new content, and features requested by the community! PSA: the grimoire is just an item that drops from the big skeleton that you might have seen already, not related to the future magic system we will be working on in a future update. The minions are a bit janky, but hey, it's early access, let's have fun and not worry about it just yet! That's how I see Hytale's future development: let's have fun and experiment a bit from time to time. That's how Hytale was born, just a bunch of devs having a great time! I want to add more interesting drops in the world, especially from chests, so this could be a fun way for us to experiment and make exploration much more fun. Finding books, scrolls, potions and items that bring a lot more excitement, rather than just materials and equipment. That being said, production is ramping up as we work on several updates in parallel, and we will put Update 3 into pre-release next week. We will give a bit more time in pre-release to let modders and servers adapt this time around. This one should be a bit smaller, as we are trying to offset the pre-release and release schedule to be more predictable. We will share more details next week!

@Pradyrockingnow @AdonisHY No, it's engagement farming on top of hytale hype.

@AdonisHY Did you get ditched by hytopia .

I just got @AdonisHY from the 𝕏 Handle marketplace. I recently covered both HYtale and HYtopia, so this handle should work best for the time being :)

@Simon_Hypixel Add funny derp faces and other memes too. Add more fur related assets for us with non human avatars.

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!

@Simon_Hypixel Add letters and symbols to the chest and back of the player (and possibly the arms too), with a variety of options to choose and each one with color.

@slikey Please, publish the CLI for ARM.

We are working hard to bring you more hotfixes for performance and network connectivity. We'll post about them on the website in the existing Hotfix post, on X, on Discord and obviously you will see the launcher automatically update. Please make sure to update your servers when you notice a launcher update. We are also working on better server updating quality of life and update information. Very happy with our ability to continue development despite the launch pressure and adjustments in our workflows.
