How to Install Hytale Mods - Complete Guide

Learn how to install Hytale mods to add community-created content to your game or server.

Hytale modding is server-side. When you join a multiplayer server, players automatically receive mod content without installing anything. For singleplayer, you install mods on your own machine and enable them per-world.

Hytale mods are community-created additions that enhance your game with new content, features, or gameplay changes. They’re distributed as .jar files and include:

  • Content packs — New blocks, items, creatures, and worlds
  • Plugins — Server functionality like economy systems, minigames, and permissions

Mods are placed in different locations depending on whether you’re playing singleplayer or running a server:

  • Client: UserData/Mods folder
  • Server: mods/ folder in your server directory

Follow the client or server guide for exact steps.
