The server is now officially public (and will soon be on the discovery pending review). I has been determined that it will be a Vanilla+ server (vanilla with some quality of life improvements). The server is now called Hextale.
For any concerns or recommendations please comment here or make a separate post in [email protected] (keep in mind this is my first time seriously hosting a hytale server so I cannot guarantee 100% uptime or the highest level of performance)

Oh shit they resurrected the development! Did the original team buy back the rights?
Yeah it’s already pretty good so far and they’re updating it at a breakneck speed!
I believe most of them returned as did the original owner
Ok, well I’ll check it out. I need to sleep for now though
To add to what other comrades already replied to you, the first big content patch is around the corner with Chapter 1. The current testing branch is the update that will eventually turn into the Chapter 1 release branch, but they said it should take like 1-2 months of testing before it launches.
Oh sweet, I’m pretty optimistic about this. It runs so fucking smooth which is very surprising considering the graphics. There’s a lot of potential with what I see so far
yeydownloading Hytale rn :3
can you play on it using pirated versions?
I intend to remain on the official Hytale server directory so officially I have to say no. Additionally a lot of the game is tied to your UUID rather than your username so inventories can be messed up without auth, and a bunch of other technical issues.
Also there is at least as of now no cracked launcher or consistent way to pirate the game, even if there were consider this use case officially unsupported by me.
i don’t have an international bank account i can’t buy it. that’s understandable though thanks for the reply.
The way it’s set up seems to require you to put in the IP every time you want to join. Am I missing something? I can’t seem to find a way to save it and it doesn’t show up if you search for it.
Edit: nvm I figured it out…
You cant search for it since it has not yet been approved
Ah, I figured out how to add it so I don’t have to use the direct connect option every time… Just use the “add server” button on the side which I didn’t see at first glance.
Let’s fucking go
I wanted to enter today but my ISP decided to shit itself, so I’ll probably enter the server tomorrow.
I have some questions if that’s ok:
- What’s the vibe of the server? Just a place to hangout? Or is it more of a shared world for us to do anything in it? I never played previous Hexbear servers of Minecraft and whatnot before, so I don’t know what to expect.
- What are the mods on the server right now? You said just some QOL stuff, which I think is totally fair. If I could make one single suggestion is to have a pride flags mod like Pride Flags & Banners or LGBTQ+ Flag Collection, too cool not to have.
Ill answer all of them :3
- Mostly social but also its a shared world to do anything, keep in mind however there will be a total server reset in a couple of months to maybe about a year (or whenever worldgen v2 comes out)
- Feel free to make suggestions, I have actually been trying to collect them. Conceptually both mods look cool but they havent been updated in several months so im not sure if they’re compatible.
Oh cool, thanks comrade :3
I haven’t tested the first one I linked actually, but it links to the second one in the description, which is the one I use on my singleplayer worlds.
I’ll list the QOL mods I have been using so far in case any of them interests you to put on the server:
- Grave mod (I use Tombale because it looks cool)
- Vein mining (tho it is not really that necessary to be honest, mining in this game is rather relaxing)
- Recover arrows
- Better map
Maybe also QOL, but probably outside of it is Perfect Parries since it just adds a single thing that makes combat feels better, and Lense for block and entity info, but these might be too much for a Vanilla+ server, I don’t know.
About those mods:
- I will add that since it looks cool :3
- Not adding that since it modifies gameplay too much
- Same on this
- Already added :3
I’ll also add lense but the other one is a bit too much
Oh nice, I can’t wait to play in the server tomorrow :3
I just tested Lense and Tombale, they arent compatible with 0.6
Oh that sucks, I didn’t test them since 0.5 I think, I hope they update soon. I know there are other grave mods like this one that is very recent and even more vanilla friendly, and there other mods like Lense, Blocchio and Omnisight, but Lense is the only one that is open source last I checked, tho Blocchio is the only one that updated fairly recently.
Just wanted to say make sure you have a backup strategy (I recommend nightly keeping the previous 3 days if you want something really simple that should allow relatively rollback of most bad behavior).
Also before major updates make a backup of the world should things go wrong since they’re in fairly unprecedented worldgen upgrade territory
Worlgen upgrades are going to happen extremely suddenly when worldgen v2 drops and when that does happen I’m doing a total server reset. Also I plan on working out a backup solution for weekly backups.
Managed to play for half an hour today, there was no one else probably because of the time I managed to play, but it was cool. Ping is a little high because I’m from Brasil (around 200ms) but it seems mostly fine, tho if I’m not mistaken it looks like sounds are server-based instead of client-based, so there is a slight delay that is noticeable when mining for example, which is an odd decision for me tho it could be an oversight by the devs, but not that big of a deal.
I was online a lot today, I must have missed you. Also yeah ping from Brazil is probably going to be a bit bad considering the server is hosted in NY (US).
Yeah I probably entered after you already logged off, but I’ll most likely enter earlier today if my ISP doesn’t troll me again lol
