Enhance Your Hytale Experience with These Must-Have Early Access Mods

You’d expect nothing less from a crafting RPG inspired by Minecraft, especially one developed by notable Minecraft modders. Hytale has already launched with a solid lineup of mods right from the start of early access. Choosing the best Hytale mods is a breeze, and just like the base game, the modding scene is set to grow as more options become available.

Here’s a rundown of some must-have Hytale mods and how to get them into your worlds. Keep in mind that Hytale is still evolving, so you’ll want to stay updated on your game version and frequently check for mod updates.

One of my top picks is Violet’s Workshop packs. These mods combine Violet’s incredible Furnishing, Wardrobe, and Plushies mods, allowing you to deck out your builds with cozy furniture or give your character a stylish makeover. With Hytale’s robust building tools, you can create intricate structures, so why not enhance them with some unique decor?

Macaw is back with a suite of fantastic design mods that are perfect for builders. Macaw’s Doors introduces a variety of new doors, Macaw’s Lights adds lamps and other lighting options, Macaw’s Windows brings in different glass panes and window decorations like shutters, and Macaw’s Stairs offers proper staircases. If you enjoy building and decorating, these mods are essential.

NoCube also delivers a treasure trove of mods that complement each other beautifully. Whip up delicious meals with Culinary, which expands your food options and recipes, create a cozy tavern or rustic kitchen with Tavern’s decorative items, or bake your own bread with Bakehouse. Plus, NoCube’s Simple Bags mod lets you store multiple items in a single bag, making inventory management a breeze while you’re out exploring and mining.

For those who find mining a bit tedious, Lucky Mining by Buuz135 adds a fun twist. This mod makes mining ore more engaging by giving you a chance to mine the same block multiple times. The more consecutive blocks you mine, the higher your chances, but be quick—taking too long or switching to another block resets the bonus. This applies to all the main ores, including adamantite, cobalt, copper, gold, iron, mithril, onyxium, silver, and thorium.

Jaredlll08’s straightforward mod adds a miner’s helmet with a lamp, perfect for illuminating dark caves. You can even customize the lamp’s color using different crystal shards.

Advanced Item Info is a handy mod that allows you to search through all items in Hytale, providing detailed information on crafting locations, uses, and levels. As newcomers in the world of Orbis, this mod is a valuable resource.

If you’ve ever had to rummage through every storage box in your base to find a specific item, WhereThisAt? by Buuz135 is a game-changer. This mod lets you search nearby storage inventories using a new Inventory Lectern block, making it easy to locate the right box or pull items directly into your inventory.

One of the best quality-of-life features in Hytale is that workbenches can automatically pull crafting materials from nearby chests, saving you from cluttering your inventory. However, the range is quite limited. Samiracle’s simple mod increases the distance chests can be from crafting tables, and you can adjust the range to your liking.

Chances are, you’re already familiar with the Skyblock mod, which brings the classic ‘skyblock survival’ experience to Hytale. With custom content designed to enhance progression compared to vanilla Hytale, you’ll need to survive on small islands in the sky, complete with bosses scattered across various themed islands.

Developed by Joshieman, Restored Ruins introduces new structures based on in-game ruins, adding more exciting discoveries to your explorations. Currently, it features one new structure, the Castle Arena, but the creator promises more additions soon, including camps and other castles. It’s definitely a mod to keep an eye on, even in its early stages.

Similar to Restored Ruins, YUNG’s HyDungeons enhances overworld exploration by adding procedurally generated dungeons. Right now, these dungeons are accessible only through the Ancient Portal at 100 Memories, but with the upcoming V2 world generation in Hytale’s early access, YUNG plans to have these dungeons appear naturally in the world.

To download and install Hytale mods, CurseForge is the go-to platform, especially if you’re familiar with Minecraft mods. To install mods via CurseForge:

You can also manually install mods by downloading the files and placing them in the game’s mods folder, located at ‘GamesHypixel StudiosHytaleUserDataMods’.

Remember to enable your mods in Hytale’s world settings—just installing them through CurseForge won’t make them appear in-game. You can also disable mods by returning to the world settings.
