We are truly excited to collaborate with the community for this Hytale modjam!
It has been our mission from the beginning to celebrate Hytale's modders, and to highlight their creativity and efforts to expand the game's potential.
Partnering with @HytaleModding for this event was a natural choice given their role as a cornerstone of the Hytale modding community, and making open source documentation and resources easily available to players.
We can't wait to see what everyone cooks up! 🔥

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! 🤯

📢 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 release lands Tuesday, May 26. Two weeks out, and more is still landing between now and then!
A new Community Server Discovery is in. The friends list makes its first appearance on release. Controllers are in too (first iteration, more polish coming). There are new emotes, Trigger Volumes for no-code scripted encounters, prefab 3D previews, and a lot more across creator tools, audio, and QoL.
Starting with Update 5, we're adding launcher version selection. Update 4 stays available for a few months, so modders and servers have runway to adapt beyond launch day.
Full pre-release patch notes for everything that's landed so far (more to come!): hytale.com/news/2026/4/hytal…
Modders and server operators: read the Modders Warning section at the bottom of those patch notes. That's your migration map. A new Semver mod compatibility model is on the way too.
With Update 5 wrapping up, we're moving more and more developers onto content. We're also hiring aggressively, and the team is now entering full production on Chapters and major features that will reshape the game's future. Job postings go live this week!

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
