ICYMI: Hytale’s Update 5 is out! We want to shine a spotlight on our new Trigger Volume Tool which allows you to place persistent 3D volumes that trigger configurable effects when conditions are met. Think of these 3D volumes as tripwires that are completely invisible to the player. However, when something happens inside of it (a player walks into it, a creature walks out, a block is placed, an arrow is shot, etc.) it will react by running a desired effect. Here’s a compilation from our Level Designers demonstrating what's possible with this tool. Not a single line of code was written to do this. 100% UI based scripting! 🤯

Discord Integration is here with Hytale's Update 5! Your Discord friends can now be added as Hytale friends in-game. Link your Discord today from the Social Sidebar. Easily invite your friends, join their worlds from the main menu, and more to come soon!

📢 Hytale’s Update 5 is now LIVE! 📢 Headlining the release is the new Trigger Volume Tool for scripting encounters in-game without code, alongside controller support, Server Discovery for browsing community servers, a new Social Sidebar with a friends list and Discord integration! ▶️ Read it here: hytale.com/news/2026/5/updat… FEATURES & HEADLINE UPDATES - Trigger Volume Tool - Controller Support - Social Sidebar & Discord Integration - Server Discovery - 1 hour of new music - 9 New Emotes Updated Emote Wheel - Prefab 3D Previewer - Simplified Chinese is now in-game - Launcher now supports older versions of the game Thank you for all your continued support and feedback! 💚 #Hytale

📢 Hytale job applications are now live! 📢 Two roles posted today, with multiple openings for each: World Designer and NPC Developer! World Designers will be one of the biggest teams at Hytale. We're tripling down on what Adventure mode's worlds can become, starting with Orbis and World Gen 2. Hybrid role: level designers, environment artists, or people who do both. NPC Developer is a smaller team, but it's the one that decides whether the world feels alive. Creature behavior, combat, boss fights, and the patterns that make Hytale react. Both technical designers and developers are welcome. Hiring from the community first. Studios can apply too. More roles are coming in the weeks ahead! Apply: hytale.com/jobs

📢 Update 5 releases MAY 26th! 📢 - New Community Server Discovery is in - The Friends List makes its first appearance - Controller support arrives in its first iteration (more polish coming) - New emotes - Trigger Volumes for no-code scripted encounters - Prefab 3D previews - and a lot more across creator tools, audio, and QoL Be sure to check out @Simon_Hypixel's tweet for more details!

Here’s a sneak peek at the upcoming Prefab Preview UI element which will be included in this week’s pre-release (Update 5, Part 7)! 👀 As you can see from the clip, there is full mouse-controlled rotation, tilt, zoom, and pan. It can also be configured for custom server UIs! Lots of amazing opportunities for this! Everything from cosmetic builds/map previews for minigames, RTS buildings in menus, etc. We genuinely can’t wait to see what modders and server owners do with this tool! #Hytale

Hey everyone, we want to share an update on support and account security. First, we know that support response times haven't been where they should be. The response to launch was massive and far exceeded what we anticipated, which meant our existing support workflows and tooling weren't built to handle that kind of volume. Over the last month, we've invested heavily in new tooling and processes to meet the demand, and our support team is now equipped to action requests much faster. We're actively working through the backlog, so if you're still waiting to hear back from us, we haven't forgotten about you, your ticket is in the queue and we're on it. On account security specifically, we've been investigating reports of compromised accounts and in the vast majority of cases, we were able to identify the cause: It has been other malicious software that was installed unknowingly by the player. Please be mindful of what you install and run on your device. We'd also strongly encourage everyone to enable authenticator based multi-factor authentication on your account for an extra layer of protection, even if your password is compromised, MFA can help keep your account safe. We recommend using an SSO sign in (Google, Discord, etc) and authenticator based MFA, this will give your account a higher level of security. This also allows you to disable password authentication on your account. If you must use email password, make sure your Hytale account has a strong and unique password that you're not using anywhere else. Password reuse is one of the most common ways accounts get compromised across services. Just as importantly, avoid passwords that are minor variations of ones you use elsewhere. These patterns are easy to guess once one version is known, a password manager is a great way to generate and store truly unique passwords for each service without having to remember them all. Thank you for bearing with us and we'll keep you posted as things continue to improve.

Whether you are hunting for eggs or enjoying the spring weather, the Hytale team wishes everyone a very Happy Easter! 🥚🐰 #Hytale
