The Hytale Engine
Built for Creators
Unlike other games where modding is a hacky workaround, Hytale provides official, powerful tools.
- Client-Side Downloading: When you join a modded server, the game automatically downloads all necessary assets. No manual installation required!
- Live Scripting: Change game logic on the fly without restarting the server.
- Shared Codebase: The client and server share the same code, making development smoother.
