Hey Orbis adventurers! Let’s be honest: Hytale ‘s arrival in January blew everyone’s minds. But what makes the game even more incredible is its creator community. Just a few weeks after release, we already have gems that radically change the gameplay experience.
Whether you’re an architect at heart, a dedicated miner, or a mystical warrior, here’s my Top 10 list of essential mods to install immediately.
1. Advanced Item Info (The absolute “must-have”)
If you’re tired of guessing how to craft a particular block or what the exact effect of a potion is, this mod is your new best friend. Inspired by the genre’s classics, it adds a comprehensive search interface to find out everything about the game’s items.
- Why we love it: No more need to have 50 wiki tabs open.

2. Wan’s Wonder Weapons
The basic combat is great, but with Wan’s Wonder Weapons , it takes things to another level. The mod adds relic weapons (swords, daggers, hammers) with unique visual effects and stats that make dungeons much more fun.
- The added bonus: The Quazar Cosmic sword is simply incredible to look at.

3. BetterMap
The original map is fine, but BetterMap adds persistence, custom waypoints, and most importantly, shared exploration in multiplayer. Perfect for never getting lost in the Zone 3 biomes again.

4. Violet’s Furnishings
For those who spend 90% of their time decorating their home, this is the holy grail. This mod unlocks hundreds of furniture variations, colors, and interactive objects to make your interior cozier than ever.
Editor’s note: Before installing 50 mods at once, remember to check that your client is up to date. Hytale is releasing hotfixes almost every three days right now!
5. Miners Helmet
Simple, effective, vital. This mod adds a miner’s helmet that projects light around you. No more placing torches every three blocks or dying in the dark because you ran out of fuel.

6. Overstacked
Your inventory fills up quickly on Orbis. Overstacked allows you to increase the size of your item stacks. Going from 100 to 250 for wood or ore makes a huge difference during long farming sessions.

7. Wayback Charm
Tired of a 15-minute commute back to base after exploring? The Wayback Charm adds a teleportation talisman. One click, and you’re back at spawn or your respawn point.

8. Lucky Mining
For players who love a thrill. This mod adds a small chance of dropping rare or bonus loot every time you break an ore. It’s a bit like a lottery, but with a pickaxe.

9. Immersive Melodies
If you have an artistic soul, this mod lets you import and play MIDI files directly in-game with Hytale’s instruments. Organize memorable concerts with your friends on your server!
10. Hynergy (The technical mod)
We’re finishing with something big for engineers. Hynergy introduces automation and energy management mechanics. It’s still early days, but it’s the perfect mod if you want to build complex factories. It will be available soon and promises to be huge!
