  Code:

  
  

  DisableAutoStep: true
   in its 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  BlockMovementSettings
   and players must jump up instead — useful for ledges and fences.
  
• Prefab-grown plants (like saplings) can now tolerate obstructions within a height band instead of failing to grow. Add 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  TolerateObstructionsBelowY
   / 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  TolerateObstructionsAboveY
   to 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  PrefabFarmingStageData
   (prefab-relative Y, origin block = 0) to mark a band where blocking world blocks are skipped rather than cancelling growth; 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  ReplaceMaskTags
   still controls which blocks get replaced. Built-in saplings now default to 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  TolerateObstructionsBelowY: -1
  . (Overlapping bands disable obstruction checks entirely and log a server warning.)
  

• Armor can now change how the player moves. Add a 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  MovementSettings
   block to an 
  
  
  Code:

   asset to override walk/sprint speed, jump height, air control, and more per piece.
  
• Projectiles can now ignore where the caster is aiming. Set 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  IgnorePitch
   or 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  IgnoreYaw
   on a 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  LaunchProjectile
   or 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  ProjectileConfig
   to lock that axis — handy for traps, turrets, and fixed-direction spells. Add 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  RotationOffset
   to nudge the angle.
  

• Voice settings are now exposed to the server using the 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  SyncPlayerPreferences
  . It has three new fields 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  VoiceChat
  , 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  VoiceInput
  , and 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  VoiceInputMode
  .
  

• Some code has been updated to use the JOML interface types (
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  Vector3dc
   / 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  Vector3ic
  )
  
  • The 
    
    
    Code:

    
    

    Teleport
     constructor
    
  • BlockIterator.iterateFromTo()
    
• Custom NPC behavior code needs updating. NPC support objects (combat, state, world, etc.) are now ECS components instead of fields on 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  Role
   / 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  NPCEntity
  , and behavior methods now receive a 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  Ref<EntityStore>
   + 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  ExecutionSupport
  . Update any custom Sensors, Actions, or Motions. 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  SpawnableWithModelBuilder
   is now 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  DependencyTrackingBuilder
  .
  
• Plugin code that called 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  NPCEntity.getAlarmStore()
   directly should now read the 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  AlarmStore
   ECS component instead. Existing saves migrate automatically — no action needed for save files.

• The image and OBJ importing tools now use the new TextureComputedColor field (a dominant weighted color average of each item's textures) instead of the particle colors when matching block colors, giving more accurate imports. The importing tools will also filter out special quality items so they cannot be used in imports.

• Singleplayer worlds with a missing world directory will now show a clear "world not found" message on the disconnect screen.
  

• Fixed a number of typographical errors.
  
• A corrupt Settings.json will now be automatically recovered from its backup file, instead of crashing the client.
  
• Gamepad open failures will no longer be reported as a crash, as they are a local device condition and not a client bug.
  

• Code:

  
  

  BlockChunk#getEnvironmentChunk()
   has been deprecated. Plugins should fetch 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  EnvironmentChunk
   directly via the chunk entity ref. Additionally, three methods on 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  WorldChunk
   are now deprecated: 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  #getBlockChunk()
  , 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  #getBlockComponentChunk()
  , and 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  #getBlock(int, int, int)
  . All three should be replaced with direct component fetches via the chunk entity ref. For 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  #getBlock
  , use 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  BlockChunk#getBlock(int, int, int)
   fetched from the ref instead.
  
• Code:

  
  

  ProcessingBenchBlock#getProcessingSlots()
   and 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  #getProcessingFuelSlots()
   now return 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  ShortSet
   instead of 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  Set<Short>
  . 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  ProcessingBenchWindow#setProcessingSlots(ShortSet)
   and 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  #setProcessingFuelSlots(ShortSet)
   now accepts 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  ShortSet
   as their parameter type.
  
• Code:

  
  

  PrefabSaverSettings#isClearSupportValues()
   and 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  #setClearSupportValues(boolean)
   have been removed. Plugins must migrate to 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  #getSupportMode()
   / 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  #setSupportMode(SupportMode)
  . The new 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  SupportMode
   enum provides three values: 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  KEEP_EXISTING
   (equivalent to the old false), 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  REMOVE
   (old true), and 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  CALCULATE
   (new; automatically bakes support values from world physics).
  
• Code:

  
  

  ExplosionUtils#performExplosion(...)
   now requires a 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  Rotation3f
   rotation parameter, and passes 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  new Rotation3f(0, 0, 0)
   to preserve existing behavior. 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  BlockHarvestUtils#performBlockDamage(...)
   now requires a 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  boolean isExplosion
   parameter, passed 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  false
   to preserve existing behavior.
  
• Code:

  
  

  ControlDoorsEffect#DoorAction
   has been changed from public to private. External references to this enum must be migrated to 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  DoorBlockUtils#DoorState
  , which is now part of the public API and covers the same states.
  
• Code:

  
  

  SpatialStructure<T>
   has had all method signatures updated to use JOML immutable interface types; parameters previously typed as 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  Vector3d
   and 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  Vector3i
   are now 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  Vector3dc
   and 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  Vector3ic
   respectively. Any interface must update its method signatures accordingly.
  
• Code:

  
  

  DurabilityConditionInteraction
   now returns 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  true
   when the held item is unbreakable, instead of 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  false
  . Interaction chains that previously used a durability condition as a gate to suppress actions on unbreakable items will now pass through instead.
  
• The base permission string for plugins whose manifest name contains spaces will now use underscores in place of spaces. A plugin previously registered as 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  "My Plugin"
   in the group 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  "com.example"
   had a base permission of 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  com.example.my plugin
  ; it is now 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  com.example.my_plugin
  . Any hardcoded permission checks or configuration entries referencing the old form must be updated.
  
• Code:

  
  

  CodecException#getMessage()
   now returns the full enriched message including key and source context. To retrieve the bare constructor-passed message, use the new 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  #getRawMessage()
   method instead.
  

• Code:

  
  

  Transport#bind(InetSocketAddress)
   now returns 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  CompletableFuture<ServerListener>
   and no longer declares 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  throws InterruptedException
  .
  

• The network protocol version has been bumped from 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  hytale/2
   to 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  hytale/3
  . Clients and servers on the previous protocol version will be unable to connect. A new 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  Crash = 7
   
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  QuicApplicationErrorCode
   has also been added.
  
• Code:

  
  

  BedsPlugin#getInstance()
   has been renamed to 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  #get()
   to match the accessor convention used by 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  Universe
  ,

  NPCPlugin
  , 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  FarmingPlugin
  , and 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  ObjectivePlugin
  .
  
• A new shared 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  Universe#transferPlayerAsync()
   API has been added, centralising the "remove from world → await target world → addPlayer" pattern. Callers should now use this helper and retain only their own fallback/cleanup logic in 
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  whenComplete
  .
  
• The WorldGen 
  
  
  Code:

   has been deprecated. Chunk data should now be accessed as components from the chunk ref directly.
  

• [b]Create your own scripted encounters with the new Trigger Volume Tool![/b]
  The Trigger Volume Tool allows you to place persistent 3D volumes that trigger configurable effects when conditions are met, such as when players enter or exit them, or break blocks within them. Volumes are saved to the world and can be included in prefabs, enabling scripted encounters, environmental effects, area transitions, and other interactive moments without writing any code.
  
  
  
  • Place, resize, rotate, and configure trigger volumes directly in-game through a dedicated UI, with visual gizmos so you can see exactly where each volume sits in the world.
    
  • Multi-select and group volumes to move, edit, or duplicate them in bulk. Use the keybind ‘Shift+D’ to duplicate them quickly!
    
  • Save trigger volumes as part of prefabs so entire interactive setups can be reused in any build.
    
  • Select from over 20 built-in effects, including playing sounds, VFX, velocity changes, weather, teleportation, game mode changing, inventory adjusting, NPC spawning, and prefab placement. A single volume can trigger multiple effects for richer interactions.
    
  • Each effect can be configured to trigger when only specific circumstances are met. Delays may also be added, allowing effects to trigger in sequence and providing fine-grained control over timing and behavior.
    
  • Built with mod support in mind so that modders can create their own custom effects.
    
    

[b]WHAT IS IT?[/b]
A Trigger Volume is an invisible 3D shape you place in the world. Think of this like a tripwire, but it can be a box, sphere, or cylinder of any size!

Nothing about it is visible to players during normal play. It sits there, quietly watching and waiting. When something happens inside of it (for example: a player walks in, a creature walks out, an arrow flies through, a block gets broken, etc.) it can react by running a desired effect.
A volume might play a sound, spawn an NPC, move platforms, open a door, send a message in the player's chat, give the player an item, or even change the weather. You decide!
In addition to these effects, you can also have conditions attached - for example, rules like “only fire once”, “only fire after 5 seconds of standing in the volume”, or “only fire if the blocktype is this specific type”.
You can group volumes together. The whole set of them act as one big region or share the same logic.
Because they are just shapes and rules, there’s no coding required! You place them, point and click to configure them in a GUI, and the server will do the rest. That said, if you want to extend it, we have modding API available for new events, conditions, and effects.

[i]The UI allows you to make scripted events or effects without needing to code anything!

[b]THE POTENTIAL OF THIS TOOL[/b]
As you can imagine, there is [i]a lot[/i] of potential with this tool. Trigger Volumes will be the building blocks behind a lot of what makes a world feel ‘alive’. Ambushes, story beats, hidden discoveries, puzzles, and safe zones can all be built on top of them.
Here's a compilation from our Level Designers of what's possible without writing a single line of code.



Tag us on X/Twitter with [b]#Hytale[/b] when you build something. We want to see what you make with this!

[b]Controller Support[/b]

• [b]Controller support arrives in its first iteration![/b]
  
  
  
  • Plug in an Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch controller and Hytale picks it up. Move, fight, explore, and navigate menus with a controller. The movement-stick dead zone is tunable from 5% to 95% in Settings.
    
  • This is just the beginning. Some advanced features may still require a keyboard and mouse, and we'll continue refining the experience based on your feedback.
    
    

[b]HOW WE GOT HERE & WHERE WE’RE GOING[/b]
Hey all! Likaos here. I am the developer who spearheaded a lot of the controller support. I'd like to take a moment to give you all some insight into how we arrived here and where we are headed.
Controller support has been one of the most-requested features from the community, and we wanted to do it right. Hytale was originally built around mouse and keyboard, top to bottom. So, we knew translating that to a controller would prove to be a difficult task.
The "ideal" plan was to wait for the UI rework that's coming, and then design controller support around it from day one: UI, menus, inventory, everything thought through for a gamepad from the start. However, that meant asking players to wait months longer to plug in their controller, and we didn't want to rush the new UI just to get there faster. So, we took a second path: build temporary controller support on top of the current UI, ship it now, and in the meantime we will design the long-term version properly.

ON THE DEV SIDE:

• [b]Defining the controls:[/b] Pierre and MewSoul had already laid down good defaults for the gameplay side, but pretty much nothing was mapped for menus and UI. A lot of that had to be figured out from scratch.
  
• [b]Rebuilding the input system:[/b] The old one wasn't ready for any of this. It needed multi-binding support, proper analog axis handling, and updated libraries so Xbox, PlayStation, and even Nintendo Switch controllers would all work.
  
• [b]Adapting the gameplay:[/b] This was actually the smoother part. Making icons and hints swap dynamically depending on what you're holding, hooking a single stick into movement the way players expect, adding sensitivity options. Lots of polish, but the foundations were there.
  
• [b]The UI (the real fight):[/b] Almost none of this existed. One thing that saved me was a rework I did a few months back on item-stack interactions (the press-vs-hold split), which gave us a way to do drag-and-drop with a gamepad.
  
• [b]Everything else was QoL grind:[/b] where to put the binds so they feel natural, how to use the mouse wheel cleanly, how to navigate menus quickly. We could have placed a virtual cursor in there, but in Hytale a huge chunk of UI time is inventory management. A virtual cursor would have made that painful. So instead there's a grid-based navigation system with custom rules for moving between menus. It's not perfect, but compared to where it started, I'm honestly pretty happy with where it landed.
  

• Wider controller compatibility and modern input features like gyro aiming and Steam Input.
  
  
  
  • A UI that's genuinely designed for gamepad: clearer layouts, better flow, more accessibility options.
    
  • More ergonomic default bindings, plus much deeper rebinding so you can fully tailor how you play.
    

• [b]Stay connected with the new Social Sidebar![/b]
  
  
  
  • You can now add friends, see who’s online, invite them to your world, and join theirs directly from the Main Menu.
    
  • Discord friends can be added as Hytale friends in-game, and the Social Sidebar will reflect any changes they make to their Avatar.
    
  • You can also favorite friends to keep them at the top of your list, and block players you'd rather not interact with.
    
  • Toast notifications will appear in-game when a friend sends you a request or invites you to their world. Incoming friend requests can be turned off in your social settings.
    
  • This feature is not available on parent-managed accounts.\

• [b]Explore new worlds with Server Discovery![/b]
  
  
  
  • Server owners may now submit their servers via the ‘Server Profiles’ section of the Hytale account page. Servers that meet the Server Owner Policies and pass manual review will appear in the new in-game Server Discovery page.
    
  • Explore featured servers that are hand-picked by the Hytale team. These are high-quality experiences highlighted for the community to enjoy.
    
  • Discover your next favorite server. Search by title or description, filter by tags, and see how many players have liked or favorited it.
    
  • Easily return to servers you’ve enjoyed by marking them as favorites or accessing your recently played list.
    
  • This feature is not available on parent-managed accounts.[b][/b]

• [b]Audio Occlusion and Diffraction have been implemented[/b]
  
  
  
  • This feature uses raycasting between sound sources and the listener, muffling audio depending on what materials divide the two.
    
  • Sound will also now ‘bend’ around corners and through doorways instead of being muffled.
    
• [b]Over 1 hour of new music has been added![/b]
  
  
  
  • New music will now be heard throughout the Emerald Wilds, Howling Sands, and Whisperfrost Frontiers.
    
  • This includes new day and night exploration tracks, short form pieces, and ambient fragments.
    

• [b]Several new Placement Settings have been added to the Creative Mode Quick Settings[/b]
  
  
  
  • Selecting ‘Place Mode: Replace’ will change the block you’re looking at to match the one held.
    
  • Selecting ‘Place Mode: Type Replace’ will change the material of the block you’re looking at with the material of the one held, without changing the block’s shape.
    
  • Selecting ‘Place Mode: Extrude’ will allow you to click and drag to fill a line in with the held block.
    
  • Selecting ‘Place Mode: Draw’ will allow you to click and drag to draw on any plane or surface freely.
    
  • Selecting ‘Place Mode: Fast Place’ will place blocks faster.
    
  • Added an ‘Eraser’ option that will allow you to left-click and drag to break blocks more quickly. This can be active at the same time as place settings so that you can place and erase at the same time.
    
  • Added a ‘Free Place’ option that will allow you to place blocks in any direction at any time, so clicking and dragging will no longer lock block placement to a single plane or surface.
    
  • Added a ‘No Physics’ option that will allow you to place blocks ignoring their placement rules.
    
  • Added a ‘Highlight Block Target’ option that will highlight the block currently being looked at.
    
    

• [b]Customize items further with per-stack name and description overrides[/b]
  
  
  
  • Give individual item stacks unique names and descriptions with rich formatting, including colors, bold text, parameters, and nested messages.
    
  • Supports a wide range of use cases, from shop systems displaying prices to RPG systems surfacing stats, and loot systems conveying lore.
    
    

• [b]Express yourself with new emotes![/b]
  
  
  
  • High five your friends or show off your latest gear in a dance-off. The emote wheel has been updated with new graphics and 9 new animations.
    
    
• [b]Finding and using commands just got a whole lot easier[/b]
  
  
  
  • Chat commands now feature tab-autocomplete and a suggestion UI, making it quicker than ever to find the right command.
    
  • Press Tab to cycle through suggestions, or Shift+Tab to browse variant options.
    
• [b]Combined the Extrude and Flood Tools into a reworked Extrude Tool[/b]
  
  
  
  • In addition to extruding and shrinking blocks on the surface you’re looking at, you can also add materials to mimic the shape of that surface using different blocks.
    
  • Customize selections further by selecting different filters such as ‘Same Material’ or ‘Same Shape’ before extruding or shrinking.
    
  • Adjust the tool’s extrusion strategy for greater control of which blocks are extruded or shrunk.
    
  • Fill empty space with the ‘Fill mode’, replacing air whilst respecting block boundaries.
    
• [b]Get a better look at your prefabs before placing them![/b]
  
  
  
  • The prefab list now displays an interactive 3D preview of the selected prefab. You can now rotate, tilt, zoom, and pan the preview to make sure you pick the perfect prefab.
    
  • Creators, take note: this 3D preview functionality can also be configured for custom server UIs! Here's an example made by one of our developers who has created a mock-up Tower Defense UI.
    
    
• [b]Player movement has been reworked to use a Hierarchical Finite State Machine![/b]
  
  
  
  • It does not provide new gameplay features (for now). This is part of a larger ongoing rework that will allow us to implement new movement features more easily in the future.
    
  • This new system is easier to understand, maintain, and extend compared to the one we previously had, which was difficult to maintain.
    
• [b]Simplified Chinese is now available in-game! The game can now also be translated into Dutch, Finnish, Italian, and Norwegian via Crowdin[/b].
  
  
  
  • To participate in the translations, simply create a Crowdin account, then visit our project page, select the language you’d like to translate, and apply. Once approved, you’ll gain access to the project and can begin submitting translations.
    
    

• The [b]Release[/b] patchline will continue using [b]%HYTALE%/UserData/[/b]
  
• [b]Non-release[/b] patchlines will now use their own directories under [b]%HYTALE%/data/[/b]
  
• For example, [b]Pre-release[/b] files will now be found within [b]%HYTALE%/data/pre-release/[/b]

  BlockType
  . This does not make the block explosive on its own, it is used by 
  
  
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  ExplodeFallingBlockImpact
  , and will be used by other systems in future as a single data point for explosions related to the block.
  
• Added a 
  
  
  
  
  Code:

  
  

  ModelParticle
   array and a 
  
  
  
  
  Code:
