The first Hytale early access chapter is now live!
Stay tuned for updates in the coming weeks as we work towards cozy content, itemization, and much more to turn this into a proper sandbox RPG.
Thorlon retweeted
In the future we will be adding a category in the modbrowser for minigames specifically where the community and our games can be downloaded and ran locally or on your servers.
High quality community made games will have the opportunity to be featured on the minigames tab.

We can't wait for you all to join us for Chapter 1 tomorrow at 10 AM EDT.
Cursebreakers can now claim their Chapter 1 bonus key in the accounts portal, enjoy!
Thorlon retweeted
For every Hytale early access chapter we release, Cursebreaker Edition owners will get 1 extra game copy to give away. If we release 6 chapters before 1.0, that's 6 extra standard copies to give to friends and family!
CHAPTER I: OUT OF THE BREACH

Yesterday the @Hytale team posted about a test that the team was doing in preparation for Update 6. Today, I'm here to tell you what it was.
In Update 6 we will be releasing network improvements that allow even more people to connect with their friends without needing external apps. This means that players that haven't been able to connect with friends because of NAT issues, will now be able to connect without needing to use other software, commonly Tailscale. We implemented a well-known set of protocols, called STUN and TURN to help connect players no matter where you are in the world, what your NAT type is, and who you're playing with.
There are, however, still a couple instances where you may not be able to play with a friend. Specifically "Double NAT" does not work yet. This is something I, and the rest of the team, are actively exploring, and we hope to have a solution for it out in the Update 7 Pre-Releases.
Thank you all for your continued conversations in the community about these issues, and I, alongside the team, hope that this makes it easier for all of you, and your friends, to play together!

Wind force field, flag and joints movement, buoyancy and basic fluid simulation, walkable and controllable moving platform

Passkeys are now live for Hytale accounts.
You can add a passkey to your account (Face ID, Touch ID, or a security key) and use it as your second factor when you sign in. No more waiting on email codes.
Setup takes under a minute in your account settings, accounts.hytale.com
(passkeys also count towards the 2fa cape :)

Six months ago, Jeb from Mojang tried Hytale and said "I'd like it to be more different to Minecraft." He was right, and I said it then too. The features that make us unique weren't in the game yet.
Hytale and Minecraft will always be compared, but we're not trying to make the same kind of game. Yesterday's blog shows what that means for the future. Handcrafted dungeons with multi-phase boss fights, combat abilities, runeforging, world events, companions involved in the crafting loop, and much more.
We want to be a deeper RPG, a stronger adventure identity, and a game that will evolve massively over the next few years. We just happen to be a block game, and we are just getting started.
