@Prowl8413 Thanks again for asking this. It sucks they know the issue, and how to fix it, but its not a priority as they don't feel players will go out that far... forgetting about the fact that large survival servers may want to take advantage of that distance.

Hytale Dev Slikey answers a question about "The farlands" in Hytale Find the full interview on my Youtube channel, and please follow/subscribe for Hytale content!

@OmegaWolfster @Simon_Hypixel The question was regarding not be able to go out horizontally much passed 100k, not vertical.

@ShaneBeee @Simon_Hypixel How far do you really need to build Jesus o.o

Slikey (Tech director of Hytale) did a big interview with Prowl, go check it out!

@Prowl8413 @Simon_Hypixel Just watched it, thank you! I was surprised to hear my name in the video haha! Great interview btw!

@ShaneBeee @Simon_Hypixel Watch the interview :) I asked this question

@Prowl8413 @Simon_Hypixel duly noted thanks, Im going to definitely watch it now.

@slicedlime It's interesting to see the team color command change, and still not support RGB colours. As well as its still interesting that Displays have GlowColorOverride, but the rest of entities still do not :(

Minecraft 26.2 Snapshot 5 brought us pack news with a team and world generation color news as well as new particles - and explosive sulfur cube archetypes. Check out the details here! #minecraftemployee youtube.com/watch?v=5bZ9rB…

@slicedlime Pretty pretty please add more config options for the placed structure template config, like offset would be super helpful.

@kaintakerous @slicedlime He works for Mojang...

@Prowl8413 @slikey Id like to know when the distance bug will be fixed. Players cant go much further out than 100k blocks without the world failing in to render properly.

I'm going to be interviewing @slikey about INFINITE WORLD HEIGHT and cubic chunks. I am getting questions from YOU to ask, so drop your questions here! Technical, gameplay related, simple, complex, it doesn't matter, ask away! I'll be picking a bunch!

@slicedlime Im super excited about the template feature Thanks for that long awaited One thing I do wish is it would have more configs Like an offset for placement or even place based on a jigsaw I imagine using it to make trees but I dont want floating trees, may also want to make roots

@slicedlime now everyone is going to harass you guys to add physics to display entities ;) ... that said, I played it for a bit, pretty cute.

The Herdcraft Update is here. youtu.be/qpkGGA_TJ3Q

@slicedlime Whenever y'all get a chance, could you pretty please move glowColorOverride from Display to Entity. So many people would love this feature so we don't have to rely on team colours for glowing. Thanks in advance :)

@Simon_Hypixel If its JavaDocs I'm going to be extremely excited (or source code, whichever)

👀

@Simon_Hypixel I dunno if I'm missing something, but is there a changelog for this?

Hytale pre-release for update #1 is accessible via the launcher! I made a channel on the official Hytale Discord, # pre-release-testing, to gather bugs/issues specifically related to the pre-release. Check the pinned message there to see more details. (Will set up proper bug reporting for pre-release in the future.) TLDR: It's a larger patch than I was expecting, so it will be tricky to roll out today to the release build, given the number of new players we have coming in! I will try to cherry-pick the most wanted features if we can't make the full update today. Thanks to all for your support! We will eventually find a good patch release cadence to make sure modders/servers are prepared in advance. Right now, it's rapid updates to improve players' QoL ASAP.

@Simon_Hypixel my top one is command suggestions/tab complete type thing. Would be really handy!

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!

@Simon_Hypixel Just know that the entire community is behind you. While few cant alleviate the anger, we know how hard you are working and Im sure we ALL appreciate the work. Just know you guys are loved! Even if it comes out in a broken state, we're excited for the game and the journey.

People ask me how I feel about getting Hytale back and getting closer to release. Honestly, the transparent answer is anger. The game has insane potential, but four years of engineering went into rebuilding the engine rather than gameplay features. That leaves us with a four-year gap and a lot of catching up to do, and that rebuilt engine is never gonna be used. When you don’t invest in gameplay, you don’t just lose time. You lose momentum, iteration, and player feedback. Now the focus has to be on gameplay first and rebuilding trust by actually shipping things at a rapid pace. It’s a damn miracle we were able to salvage Hytale. It was barely playable. All basics were broken. Camera, movement, combat, crafting, building, gameloop, sounds, rendering. Everything, everything was wrong. It should have taken years to fix, but within weeks, we got the game into a playable, fun state. And now, instead of slowing down or celebrating a release, we have to keep pushing for years to make up for the time that was lost. So yes, I feel anger. And I’m turning that into focus and execution. I’m committing more money, more time, and personal sacrifice to deliver the game this vision deserves.

@slikey I'm so excited to see that this game will be coming to Mac in the future. Thank you guys for all the hard work you've been doing to make this happen. If you ever need Mac testers I'm definitely here to help :) I've been in the MC dev/modding community for years and its super fun!

The only thing holding back Mac support at this point is Apple's incredibly bloated and slow approval process for Code Signing and Notarization. Given that holidays are coming up, I am not expecting to be able to confirm Mac support on launch day before End-Of-Year.
