ICYMI: Hytale’s Update 5 is out!

We want to shine a spotlight on our new Trigger Volume Tool which allows you to place persistent 3D volumes that trigger configurable effects when conditions are met.

Think of these 3D volumes as tripwires that are completely invisible to the player. However, when something happens inside of it (a player walks into it, a creature walks out, a block is placed, an arrow is shot, etc.) it will react by running a desired effect.

Here’s a compilation from our Level Designers demonstrating what's possible with this tool.
Not a single line of code was written to do this. 100% UI based scripting! 🤯

We're launching our first official Hytale modding contest with $100,000 in total prizes!

But this isn't just a contest. This is the start of something much bigger.

My vision for Hytale has always been that modders should be celebrated, not sidelined. The people who pour their creativity into pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the game deserve to be front and center. They deserve to be rewarded. Think of it like esports, but for modders. We want to build an ecosystem where talent rises to the top, where the community recognizes and elevates the people making incredible things. This contest is the first step. There will be many more.

For this first contest, we chose World Gen V2 and NPC as two of our three categories very intentionally. These are areas where we know extraordinary talent exists, and honestly, we're scouting. If you blow us away, don't be surprised if we reach out. We want the best modders in the world working alongside us.

And looking ahead: over the coming months, we'll be rolling out more modding tools, an in-game mod browser, and a lot more. We're also thinking deeply about how players can directly reward the modders they love, without turning the game into a shopping mall. It should be fair for players and meaningful for creators.

This is just the beginning.

[Mew @MewSoul]

Emotes are coming to Hytale with this week's pre-release update, including easy mod support!

Here's the mod structure to add emotes to the game:
- Place your emote animation (.blockyanim) in Common\Characters\Animations\Emote\
- Place your emote icon (.png) in Common\Icons\Emotes\
- Create your emote config (.json) in Server\Emote\ (replace "MyEmoteName" with the name of your new emote)

An emote config looks like the following:
{
"Animation": "Characters/Animations/Emote/MyEmoteName.blockyanim",
"Name": "My Emote Name",
"Icon": "Icons/Emotes/MyEmoteName.png",
"IsLooping": true
}

With that done, you'll now be able to see your emotes in-game!

In the future, we'll improve the emote wheel so you can customize it.

[Simon @Simon_Hypixel]

To speed up production, here’s how Hytale updates will work going forward!

TL;DR
• Pre-release updates go out weekly
• Pre-release to get features earlier for feedback & bug reports
• Releases ship when pre-release is in a good state (every ~2–6 weeks)
• More time for modders and servers to adapt
• Our developers spend more time building, less time shipping
• Hotfixes can still ship at any time to both pre and release

Going forward, we’ll use the pre-release patchline to be a bit more adventurous. It will be updated weekly and may be unstable by design; this is where new features, larger changes, and iterations happen.
FYI, we might skip a week from time to time for holidays, PTO, or other reasons.

Pre-release instability will be clearly communicated in-game. As you might have noticed, we have automated world backups, but always back up your own data if you plan to keep using the same worlds in pre-release patchline!

Once we’re comfortable with the pre-release state (can be a result of one or several updates), we’ll schedule it to release and communicate to everyone.

As for this week, don't expect anything major for pre-release, we are getting into the rhythm of things and need to off-set the cadence.

To clarify, if we update the pre-release with like 5 updates, the release will contain those 5 updates.
If we are aiming for a release week, we will make the call publicly and tell people to prepare their mods/servers a few days beforehand.

[Simon @Simon_Hypixel]

So many changes coming that writing patch notes is become a chokepoint 😂
Wasted collectively a few hours just doing the first one, pain.

Our notes in the near future will be missing info, will adjust over time no worries. There is so much to do!

[Simon @Simon_Hypixel]

We already have few updates lined up for the coming days!

Avatar save/load presets
Hide Helm (server configurable)
Weapon Tooltips (DMG etc)
and much more!

[BuddhaCat @ItsBuddhaCat]

📢 FYI to all creators!
There is now a Press / Media Kit available at

After a tumultuous 7 years, Hytale has 'officially secured the next two years of development costs' a day before launch: 'Thank you all for the support. Hytale is saved. We are almost home' https://t.co/6aNJW5qgg7

Pleased to announce that we have officially secured the next two years of development costs through pre-purchases. Combined with my personal commitment of ten years, we are looking very strong for the future ❤️
