A small helpful modding guide for things related to Hytale.

Hytale has kind of been of a bit of a buzz, and there seems to be sparse things about it all over the internet. This is just a little collection of resources that I’ve found that were actually useful.

Quick info

  • Mods with java coding are called “Plugins”.
  • Mods can also be made from JSON, those are Data Assets.
    • The game lets you do some modding from the creative tab.
    • Use the command “/op self” in the game chat to have access to the in game asset editor (creative tab).
    • Hovering over items in the creative menu shows their ID.

There are a lot of sites that are very similar to hytale’s naming scheme, but the only official site is hytale.com, linked above.
