Modding is at Hytale's Core
Unlike many games where modding is an afterthought, Hytale was built from the ground up with modding in mind. The developers used the same tools they're giving to players - anything they can do, you can do too.
Built-in Creation Tools
Hytale Model Maker (HMM)
A web-based tool that ships with the game:
Voxel Modeling - Create 3D models using blocks
Texture Painting - Paint directly on your models
Animation - Bring your creations to life
Real-time Preview - See changes in-game instantly
Collaboration - Multiple users can work simultaneously
Asset Editor
Modify game content without coding - change block properties, item stats, NPC behaviors, and world generation settings.
Scripted Brushes
Generate content with a single stroke - create mountains, grassy paths, procedural ruins, and more.
Types of Mods
