Pre-Release (Update 5, Part 8)

May 14, 2026

Headline Features

• Player movement has been reworked to use a Hierarchical Finite State Machine!
  • It does not provide new gameplay features (for now). This is part of a larger ongoing rework that will allow us to implement new movement features more easily in the future.
  • This new system is easier to understand, maintain, and extend compared to the one we previously had, which was difficult to maintain.

Launcher & Data Storage Changes

These changes will go live with a launcher update shortly before today’s pre-release.

Game data storage has been updated. Previously all Hytale game data (e.g. worlds, mods, settings, and logs) was stored in %HYTALE%/UserData. Shortly before today’s pre-release update goes live, a launcher update will change this behaviour to the following:

• The Release patchline will continue using %HYTALE%/UserData/
• Non-release patchlines will now use their own directories under %HYTALE%/data/
• For example, Pre-release files will now be found within %HYTALE%/data/pre-release/

Existing non-release patchlines will automatically duplicate existing worlds, mods, and game settings to the new location. Once migrated, patchlines will no longer share data.

New installations will use this structure by default.

Avatar & Customization

• Updated the Dance Boogie animation.

Combat, Items & Equipment

• Added a number of Test_Motion_Charge NPCs.

UI & Quality of Life

• The number of collected Memories you have discovered that still need restoring will now be displayed when viewing the Inventory.
• The movement stick dead zone settings for the gamepad may now be set between 5% and 95%.

Modding & Creative Tools

• Combined the Smooth Brush Tool behaviour into the Sculpt Brush Tool. As a result, the Smooth Brush Tool has been removed. The new Sculpt Brush Tool can be found in the Basic Tools section of the Creative Inventory and has an updated UI, legend, localization and defaults that match the combined tool. Changes to this tool include:
  • Smoothing performance has improved by approximately 6x.
  • Sculpt Mode can now be set to either ‘Full3D’, ‘Heightmap’, or ‘Flat’.
  • Sampling can now be set to ‘Normal’, ‘Uniform’, ‘Gaussian’, ‘Neighbour’, or ‘Square’.
  • Erosion Strength can now be adjusted.
  • Existing, nearby blocks can now be set as the material.
  • Fluids in the area can now be set to be fixed, cleared, or ignored.
  • Non-full blocks will be treated as invalid smoothing samples and cleared from the area.
• The previous Sculpt behaviour is available as a deprecated ‘OldSculpt’.
• Updated the UI panel used to support creating masks with Brush Tools. Changes include:
  • Brush filters may now be accessed by clicking on an empty slot in a mask block selector.
  • Mask presets may now be saved and loaded.
  • Mask types can now be negated and inverted.
  • Masking commands, such as ‘>Rock_Stone’ may now be used within the UI panel.
  • Mask information can now be previewed.
  • Mask presets that have been saved with the /gmask command may be used.
• Masking for fluids is now supported and a new brush filter has been added for them.
• Brush filters will now skip over blocks they could not parse, preventing them from breaking.
• Added scripted brush versions of kernel erosion and fluid fixing for node/scripted brush workflows.
• Added a ‘Fog’ checkbox to the Creative Mode Quick Settings Menu. This can be used to hide the fog that generates towards the end of your View Distance.
• Added a Trigger_Volume_Showcase prefab that demonstrates some of the ways the Trigger Volume tool can be used. Load this prefab from the Prefab List and then paste it using the Paste Tool to add it to your world.
• Added a /shrink command that shrinks the selected area to fit non-air blocks.
• Warps created by Teleporter blocks are now protected from accidental changes with the ‘/warp set’ and ‘/warp remove’ commands. This can be overridden by adding the ‘--force’ flag to the command.
• Players can now preview prefabs when using the '/prefab load' command.
• Players may now hold down the keys to adjust the movement speed multiplier in Creative Mode.
• Added a new FallingBlockImpact type: ExplodeFallingBlockImpact. This performs an explosion when a falling block configured with it hits another solid block when falling.
• Added ExplosionConfig to BlockType. This does not make the block explosive on its own, it is used by ExplodeFallingBlockImpact, and will be used by other systems in future as a single data point for explosions related to the block.
• Adds a ModelParticle array and a SoundEventID parameter to ExplosionConfig, which the Explosive System will now use to perform accompanying effects, instead of relying on ancillary systems.

Bug Fixes

Movement

• Players can now correctly climb onto blocks such as the Simple Wooden Bed and the Farmer’s Workbench.

World & Block Fixes

• Workbenches may now be upgraded multiple times without needing to close and reopen the UI.
• Teleporters will no longer hijack or delete Warps that were not associated with them.
• Players will now receive an error message when attempting to claim a bed that has already been claimed.

Creative, Modding & Plugin Fixes

• Fixed a crash that could occur with empty blocksets.
• Added a fallback for model animations if none are available elsewhere.
• The /submerge command can now unsubmerge blocks.
• Empty blocks, which don’t have collisions, may now be configured to affect movement.
• Fixed the hotbar container not correctly initializing with an index of 0.
• Fixed an issue where block entities sometimes wouldn't render correctly when loaded with the Entity Tool.
• Fixed an issue where block entities could not be pitched or rolled.
• Rotating blocks will now preserve UV rotation, preventing textures from rendering incorrectly.

UI & Display Fixes

• Fixed an issue that could result in the Backpack and its upgrades becoming permanently locked.
• Wider Avatar customizations should now render fully when spun around on the Main Menu.
• Grass plants will no longer render with dark shading at their base when viewed at a distance.
• Improved upon backend systems to support further localization.
• Improved upon backend systems to enhance performance.
  • Void maps in particular should experience improved performance this update.

Modders Warning Section

PRE-RELEASE PART 8

• LivingEntity#canBreathe has been removed. Breathing state is now tracked via the new BreathingComponent ECS component. Systems that read #canBreathe directly must migrate to BreathingComponent. To override NPC breathing behaviour, register a handler on the new BreathingCheckEvent instead.
• SpawningContext#WorldChunk has been removed. The field previously exposed raw chunk data directly on the context; world and chunk data are now passed through as parameters via the chunk store and chunk references. Plugins that accessed SpawningContext#WorldChunk must be updated to use the chunk store API.
• ServerVersion on plugins and asset packs is no longer a dated string (YYYY.MM.DD-<sha>). Packs with the old format load as wildcard with a log warning. Authors should declare a range such as >=0.5.0 <0.6.0 or ^0.5.0. Note: >=0.5.0 does not match 0.5.0-pre.3.

Pre-Release (Update 5, Part 6)

April 30, 2026

Headline Features

• Create your own scripted encounters with the new Trigger Volume Tool! The Trigger Volume Tool allows you to place persistent 3D volumes that trigger configurable effects when players enter, exit, or remain inside them. Volumes are saved to the world and can be included in prefabs, enabling scripted encounters, environmental effects, area transitions, and other interactive moments without writing any code.
  • Place, resize, rotate, and configure trigger volumes directly in-game through a dedicated UI, with visual gizmos so you can see exactly where each volume sits in the world.
  • Multi-select and group volumes to move, edit, or duplicate them in bulk.
  • Save trigger volumes as part of prefabs so entire interactive setups can be reused in any build.
  • Select from over 15 built-in effects, including sounds, VFX, velocity changes, weather, teleportation, NPC spawning, and prefab placement. A single volume can trigger multiple effects for richer interactions.
  • Each effect can be configured to activate when players enter, exit, or remain inside the volume. Delays may also be added, allowing effects to trigger in sequence and providing fine-grained control over timing and behaviour.
  • Built with mod support in mind so that modders can create their own custom effects.
• Several new Placement Settings have been added to the Creative Mode Quick Settings!
  • Selecting ‘Place Mode: Replace’ will change the block you’re looking at to match the one held.
  • Selecting ‘Place Mode: Type Replace’ will change the material of the block you’re looking at with the material of the one held, without changing the block’s shape.
  • Selecting ‘Place Mode: Extrude’ will allow you to click and drag to fill a line in with the held block.
  • Selecting ‘Place Mode: Draw’ will allow you to click and drag to draw on any plane or surface freely.
  • Selecting ‘Place Mode: Fast Place’ will place blocks faster.
  • Added an ‘Eraser’ option that will allow you to left-click and drag to break blocks more quickly. This can be active at the same time as place settings so that you can place and erase at the same time.
  • Added a ‘Free Place’ option that will allow you to place blocks in any direction at any time, so clicking and dragging will no longer lock block placement to a single plane or surface.
  • Added a ‘No Physics’ option that will allow you to place blocks ignoring their placement rules.
  • Added a ‘Highlight Block Target’ option that will highlight the block currently being looked at.
• Over 1 hour of new music has been added!
  • New music will now be heard throughout Zones 1, 2, and 3.
  • This includes new day and night exploration tracks, short form pieces, and ambient fragments.

Combat, Items & Equipment

• The Blood Leaf Seed Bag, Storm Sapling Seed Bag, and Azure Kelp Seed Bag recipes at the Alchemist’s Workbench no longer require a Voidheart.
• The Crystal Fertilizer Bag recipe at the Alchemist’s Workbench has had the number of Crystal Shards required lowered from 50 to 25.

UI & Quality of Life

• Weapon tooltips will now display damage data. Note that there are currently some known limitations with obtaining damage numbers. This initial pass is meant to allow easier comparisons between weapons, rather than a full breakdown of all possible damage numbers.
• Added a new Bug report category for localization.
• Bug reports may now include videos to help demonstrate the issues experienced. They can currently be added using the ‘Add Screenshots’ button.
• Added social notification toasts for friend requests and world invites.
• Players you aren’t friends with may now be blocked via the Local tab.

Modding & Creative Tools

• Moved the setting to increase or decrease the distance that you may place blocks to the Placement Settings section of the Creative Mode Quick Settings.

• The filled Watering Can will now render at the correct scale.
• Fixed an issue in which NPCs would not hold their configured main or off-hand item.

World & Block Fixes

• Fixed an issue where modifications to block hitboxes could leave behind invisible collision and ghost outlines in existing worlds. This affected many Fishing Trap blocks placed prior to Update 4. Any existing invisible collision and ghost outlines can be removed by punching or interacting with them.
• The Stained Windows block (Prototype_Window_Single) has been labeled as a Developer item and will no longer appear in the Creative Inventory. This block will not be removed from worlds it has already been placed in.

Creative, Modding & Plugin Fixes

• Fixed a crash that could occur when pasting numbers into the asset editor.

• The /replace command will now mask non-empty blocks by default when no ‘from’ value is given.
• Block rotation previews will now rotate correctly when using the ‘R’ hotkey.
• The ‘Pause Time’ checkbox in the Creative Mode Quick Settings should now be toggleable. Note that this pauses the client’s local time and does not control the world server time.
• The ‘Show Tool Notifications’ Creative Mode Quick Setting should now show notifications correctly.
• The node editor will no longer add incorrect metadata causing validation failures.

UI & Display Fixes

• Fixed a crash that could occur on the Main Menu.

• Improved upon backend systems to support further localization.
• Improved upon backend systems to enhance performance.

Modders Warning Section

PRE-RELEASE PART 6

• DisplayNameComponent is now runtime-only and no longer persisted. The persisted component is now PersistentDisplayName. If you were setting or reading the DisplayName entity-component key on custom NPCs or entities (via JSON prefabs or the ECS API), update to use PersistentDisplayName instead. Custom prefabs that still hold a DisplayName key will have it promoted automatically on first load, but you should update your assets regardless.
• InteractionContext#getOwningEntity has been annotated u/Nullable to reflect that the method can return null values. If your custom interaction code calls this method without a null check, add one to avoid a potential NullPointerException.
• CollisionResult#getCollisionEntities has changed from holding Entity objects to holding entity refs.
• EntityContactData#assign now takes an entity ref instead of an Entity object.
• Player#notifyPickupItem is now a static method.
