Building Basics
🧱 The Block System
Hytale uses a voxel-based system similar to other block games, but with higher fidelity.
- Vertical Slabs: Unlike traditional games, you can place slabs vertically!
- Detail Blocks: Use furniture, pillars, and beams for depth.
- Roofing: Special roof blocks allow for smooth slopes.
✨ Creative Tools
In Creative Mode, you have access to powerful tools to speed up construction.
- Copy/Paste: Quickly duplicate structures.
- World Edit: Fill large areas or carve mountains.
- Asset Browser: Access thousands of prefab objects.
Hytale Model Maker
The ultimate tool for creators. Hytale Model Maker allows you to create custom models, animations, and textures directly in your browser.
What you can do:
- Create custom swords, guns, or hats.
- Design new mobs and animate their attacks.
- Live collaboration with friends (like Google Docs for 3D models).
- Seamlessly import into your Hytale server.
Pro Building Tips
Depth & Texture
Don't build flat walls. Use pillars, windows, and different block types to add visual interest.
Lighting
Use lanterns and ambient occlusion to your advantage. Hidden lighting creates mood.
Environment
Blend your building with the terrain. Add bushes, paths, and trees around it.
