Hytale’s been dropping updates faster than I’ve been able to keep track of, what with the addition of necromancy<\/a> and flamethrowers<\/a>, but Hytale’s players are keeping a pretty strong pace too. The game already has a whopping 4,000 mods<\/a> on CurseForge<\/a>, and it doesn’t seem like things are slowing down anytime soon.<\/p>\n

Browsing CurseForge you’ll see all the givens, like HUD tweaks<\/a> and the gravity gun from Half-Life<\/a>, as well as stuff that bridges the gaps left open by incomplete features\u2014you can’t tame a horse in vanilla Hytale yet, but mods like Traveling Mounts<\/a> are a suitable band-aid. There’s also all the people pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, like the folks who got Hytale running in Hytale<\/a> and invented Minecraft x Hytale crossplay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then there’s jaw-dropping projects like Runeteria, which dropped an “MMO-style dungeon” yesterday<\/a> featuring unique legendary weapons and a custom boss fight. There appear to be piles of lethal goop that will hurt you, which I assume is what they mean by MMO-style. Hypixel founder Simon Collins-Laflamme took to X<\/a> to shout out the ambitious mod: “Absolutely crazy talented team \u2026 All of this on their own, I haven\u2019t had the chance to chat with them yet!”<\/p>\n

This isn’t even the first unique dungeon of its type. A recent community-run Hytale modjam handed second place<\/a> to a Tron-esque, custom boss dungeon called The Forerunner<\/a>. First place<\/a> went to a mod that adds programmable music boxes<\/a>, and the community favorite<\/a> added giant mech suits<\/a> with machine guns and rocket launchers you can pilot in the open world.<\/p>\n
