Finding and Downloading Hytale Mods

Hytale Mods are mostly available in CurseForge with several options as you browse through.

Some of the popular mods include Advanced Item Info (Buuz135) that adds a search feature to easily look for items and their details.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how you can find mods manually:
-
- Simply search for “CurseForge Hytale Mods” in your browser. You can also opt to go directly to the CurseForge Hytale section.
- Browse through the available options.
- Read descriptions and reviews to ensure compatibility.
- Download any mods that interest you.
- Most mods will download as ZIP or RAR files.
- Extract these files before installation.
Manual Installation Method
This method is simple for those who prefer direct control over their mod installations. Hytale designed the game with modding in mind so it features a dedicated mod folder directly in its directory.
-
- Go to the drive where you installed Hytale.
- Follow this path through your user profile: \AppData\Roaming\Hytale\UserData
- You’ll find the Mod Folder waiting for your downloads inside the UserData.
Another way available is by accessing the mod folder through the Hytale itself. Here’s what you need to do:
-
- Open the game.
- Then, head to the created world and select Mods.
- Select right-click to Edit World to show a new window where you can open the folder.
- Find the Mods directory.
- Once you’ve found the folder, continue to extract your downloaded mod files.
- Place these extracted files directly inside.
- It should complete the installation process even though you still need to activate these mods before it takes effect.
Using the CurseForge App for Automatic Installation

Or, you can also opt to use the CurseForge app to further simplify the entire modding process. To start, here’s what you need to do:
-
- Visit the CurseForge website.
- Search for the orange download icon in the top right corner.
- Then, download the standalone version of the app for the best results.
- Install it on your system.
- After installation, you can either log in with your account or continue as a guest.
- The app automatically detects games installed on your PC.
- Choose Hytale from your game library and browse through available mods.
- Click download on any mode that you like.
- The app will handle everything automatically including installing mods directly to the correct folder.
Activating Your Mods in Hytale

Once you’re done with installing the mods, you have to activate them to see the effect in your worlds. Make sure to save your world or server first before activating any mods. This will ensure you can uninstall problematic mods and resume playing without losing any of your progress.
-
- Launch Hytale and load the game.
- Go to the world menu and right-click on the world where you want to use the mods.
- A new menu should appear and correctly installed mods will be visible in the bottom right of the menu.
- Check off the mods you want to activate for that specific world.
Remember that Hytale uses a per-world activation system that gives you flexibility to have different mod configurations for different worlds. Simply return to this menu and deselect any mod that isn’t working well or conflicts with other mods. In addition, you have the option to choose which installed mods you want to be activated from the start.
Conclusion
Navigating Hytale Mods is quick and easy due to its mod-friendly designed system. You have plenty of mods options to choose from in CurseForge that will make your game world unique. Browse through the selection to see if you find something you’d want in your game world.
