Three days after the release of Hytale, CurseForge reported over 2,000,000 mod downloads on the platform X. And nothing against Vanilla, but once you've played with the right Hytale mods, there's no going back. Here are the most popular and best mods for Hytale, explained briefly and clearly.
Top 15 most popular Hytale mods
EyeSpy – Finally, you know what you're dealing with
This mod provides faster clarity in Hytale. No matter what you're looking at, whether it's a block, animal, chest, or other mobs, EyeSpy gives you all the information you need. In your HUD, you'll see the name, health, or, in the case of chests, the contents displayed directly in the upper left corner. Especially if you're new to Hytale, this mod will help you immensely and keep you on top of things.
Advanced Item Info – If you don't want to google everything
You've probably already had an item or two in your hand that, even after looking at it for several minutes, was still a mystery. The Hytale mod Advanced Item Info gives you searchable item info that shows you advanced information about items. No more question marks in your head, no more discussions about whether it's the same item as your friends have.
Lucky Mining – Warning: addictive!
“I'm just going to mine some ore for a bit!” – All right, see you in a few days. The mod Lucky Mining is highly addictive. The more of the same ore you mine without interrupting, the higher the chance that more of it will appear in the immediate vicinity. So you suddenly get into the flow and dig entire tunnels through the caves – until someone asks if you're around anymore.
Hybrid – The one that holds everything together
Hybrid isn't really a mod for Hytale in the traditional sense, but rather a framework. Why does it appear in the most popular Hytale mods, you ask? Hybrid ensures that some mods simply work better together and that everything runs smoothly. It's basically the glue that connects mods and holds everything together.
Wan's Wonder Weapons – Relics that make history
“Oh, another sword... WHAT WAS THAT?!” – this is roughly how the conversations between you and your friends might go with the Hytale Wan's Wonder Weapons mod. This mod brings a collection of unique weapons/relics into the game, imbued with elemental power, dark magic, and a touch of absurdity. So if you're looking for class instead of mass, this mod is perfect for you, and you can even be part of its further development.
Violet's Furnishings – Turn your base into a home
The days of four walls, a chest, a workbench – and your base is ready – are over. Violet's Furnishings massively expands the possibilities for furniture and decoration in Hytale. Themed sets, numerous patterns and color variations, interactive decorations, light sources for more coziness, statues, artwork, and even your own crafting station—all included in Violet's Furnishings for more cozy vibes in Hytale.
Simply Trash – Detox for your inventory
Is your inventory constantly overflowing, and are you tired of discarded items finding their way back to you like a magnet? Then Simply Trash is the perfect mod for you. It gives you a trash can to destroy items. So if you've been on a long journey and are almost collapsing under the weight, just throw it in!
Ymmersive Melodies – How much can friendship withstand?
With the Ymmersive Melodies mod, you can upload MIDI files and play them in-game on crafted instruments. This allows you to positively change the atmosphere in taverns, play dramatic music during boss fights, or run into a dungeon and have someone play meme melodies. Fun or quick hatred is guaranteed.
Overstacked – Give me more
The Overstacked mod for Hytale increases the maximum stack size of items. This means you don't have to clutter up your home with as many crates. Of course, you can still create a separate room for countless crates, because who doesn't love organization? But this mod is a real game changer when you're on the go, as you don't have to throw away important items.
The Pickaxes Place Torches – Lights on, brain off
As long as you have torches in your utility slot, you can use the mod The Pickaxes Place Torches to place torches with a right-click – using your pickaxe. So if you're deep in a cave run, this is the perfect mod to make your trip go more smoothly.
Spellbook – Another MVP in the background
Similar to Hybrid, the Spellbook mod is a toolbox for other mods. Reusable helpers/utilities so that mod developers don't have to build everything twice or three times, and components for all kinds of mods are provided so that everything runs and works automatically.
Aures - Livestock Skins – Okay, we do need a shed after all
With the Aures - Livestock Skins mod, Hytale animals such as sheep, chickens, rabbits, mouflons, camels, goats, etc. become real collector's items. More colors and even rare variants not only add flair, but also create a strong urge to say: We need a shed NOW!
Better Modlist – Since when do I have 38 active mods?
It may sound boring and unnecessary, but it's a real lifesaver in the everyday life of any gamer who uses mods: The Better Modlist mod improves the list of mods in-game. You get a search function, logos, and better handling. So even if you're constantly adding “just this one more mod,” you can still keep track of everything.
Miners Helmet – I see something you don't
Tired of torches every few blocks? Then the Miners Helmet mod is what you're looking for. As soon as you put on the helmet, light is cast around you. Suddenly, caves, dungeons, and nighttime construction projects are no longer a problem.
Wayback Charm – The mod for anyone who lacks direction (which is all of us)
With the Wayback Charm mod for Hytale, it's easy to find your way home when you've lost your way and your sense of direction. At first glance, this mod may seem optional and not that exciting, but almost everyone gets to the point where they forget their way.
