Hytale Modding Explained | Why Server Side Modding Changes EVERYTHING!

Complete Guide to Hytale Modding (Before January 13th, 2026 Early Access Launch) 🔥

Looking for a full breakdown of Hytale modding before early access launches on January 13th, 2026? In this video, I explain how Hytale modding works, why server-side modding is such a huge deal, and how it compares to Minecraft modding and plugins.

Hytale is being built with full modding support from day one, using the same internal tools the developers themselves use. Unlike Minecraft, all mods and custom content are handled server-side, meaning players don’t need to manually install mods. When you join a modded Hytale server, your client automatically downloads everything it needs, including models, animations, sounds, world generation, and gameplay changes. One client for everyone, unlimited creativity on the server.

The developers recently released a brutally honest status update on Hytale modding, and I break down exactly what’s ready, what’s missing, and what this means for server owners, mod creators, and players planning to run or join modded Hytale servers at launch and beyond.
