Over the past few weeks, I’ve been scaling back my use of Google and Microsoft services. So I’d like to switch to Linux now, but one of my favorite games is Hytale.

Both creating mods for my friends and playing the game itself are great ways to pass the time, so I’m worried about losing that possibility.

I’ve been addicted to Hytale for a few months now, and one of the things that I really appreciate is the fact that all biomes have unique ambient sounds. Howling winds in the snowy tundras, the water drips of caves, the sound of seagulls at the beach. It’s such a small detail yet it really helps me get immersed in the game world.

The same with creatures actually being able to blink, it makes them so much more expressive. Don’t get me wrong I’ve always enjoyed playing Minecraft but the majority of its biomes is in dead silence (I tend not to have the music on) and its creatures have the same dead-eyed stare. Hytale feels more alive.

On an unrelated note I also really, really appreciate Hytale’s “parkour”. The first time my avatar actually grabbed hold of a block above them and pulled themselves up I was impressed.

Anyone else have anything like these they like?

Here's my suggestion for how I think durability should be reworked (since I know they're looking to rework it):

Items have limited durability. When durability runs out, the item is not destroyed, but becomes "broken" and is unusable. Items can be repaired with repair kits, but doing so reduces the items efficacy (not durability, but damage, mining speed, protection, ect.). An item can be restored to its full efficacy by reforging it with the same types of materials used to craft the item. The amount of materials required does not increase per repair, but remains constant (and is not necessarily the same amount used to craft it). Any random or custom item modifiers are retained and not rerolled when reforging.

edit: Okay it sounds like stat reductions are unpopular. So how about we keep the max durability reduction instead like it already is, but reforging using the crafting materials brings it back up to its original max durability. This will give you a reason to continue collecting those materials post endgame without nerfing or having to replace your gear.

We got a new UI design!

Been experimenting for quite some time on how we want our core mod EMPIRES to look for our dark fantasy server PYRETALE, but the Hytale Blue is just taking us out of the moment.

This redesign is aimed to bring a darker look to hytale. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Am I just missing something? I’ve been waiting to watch the Hytale servers pop up of creators building worlds together and having goofy times together. I haven’t seen any that lasted more than a week after release. Does anyone know any YouTubers who have been doing anything HermitCraft-esque? Or why there isn’t one?

Fairly straightforward question - I’m super excited for the in-game mod browser, but I’m curious if every mod listed has been vetted/is safe to download, or if there’s a risk of downloading any malicious software?

I know I could likely avoid any risk by only downloading the more popular mods, but still figured I may as well ask 🙌🏻

Instead of a weapon, why not (if its possible) a portal that sends you to your own little pocket dimension that you can shape however you wanted. Turn it into you own magic tower, a shrine for your divinity, a cozy cottage, a shadow dimension for your captives, or a labyrinth with a boss chasing away any intruders.

All npc's that spawn in your pocket dimension are friendly to you, while you can choose whether or not they are aggressive to players you invite over.

The portal can be placed and removed easily and returns to the player once removed, no matter the distance. Think of it as an ability rather than an item.

Think of it as an extension of the game crafting mechanics after most people finish the game.

We have finally made it over the finish line with our world generating/ map view mod for our server PyreTale! This will be available for download within the week

Any features that anyone would love for this to have? It thus far ties into our settlement mod Empires, but is configurable to any claim/ settlement mod that your server has.

Is there a mod for survival like minecrafts building gadgets ?

I love building but get frustrated after placing the same blocks in a line 1000 times.
That and i like to copy paste stuff like pillars and towers that take a lot of time to do by hand.
