Hytale's Most Popular Mods... So Far
by Lou P.
Hytale has been live for about 48 hours, and the modding community is already thriving. Thanks to Hypixel Studios partnering with CurseForge for day-one mod support, players have access to dozens of mods that add new features, quality-of-life improvements, and entirely new ways to play.
Whether you're exploring solo or running a server with friends, mods can transform your Hytale experience. If you're hosting multiplayer, check out our guide on how to install Hytale server mods to get started.
Here are the most popular Hytale mods on CurseForge so far, ranked by community engagement. Download numbers are current as of the time of writing.
1. Advanced Item Info
By Buuz135 | 40,000+ downloads
Advanced Item Info adds a searchable interface that displays detailed information about every item in the game. You can look up crafting recipes, item properties, stack limits, and more, all from a single menu.
Open it anytime with the /advancedinfo command. For new players still learning what everything does, this mod eliminates a lot of guesswork.
2. Lucky Mining
By Buuz135 | 15,000+ downloads
Lucky Mining rewards consecutive mining with bonus ore drops. The more you mine in a row, the higher your chance of getting extra resources. A particle effect and sound cue let you know when the bonus triggers.
It makes resource gathering more engaging without feeling like a cheat. Just a nice boost for putting in the work.
3. Better Modlist
By Buuz135 | 14,000+ downloads
Better Modlist improves the in-game mod menu with search functionality and mod logos. If you're running multiple mods (and you probably will be), this makes managing them far easier.
It's a small quality-of-life addition, but once you have a dozen mods installed, you'll appreciate the organization.
4. YUNG's HyDungeons
By YUNGNICKYOUNG | 12,000+ downloads
YUNG's HyDungeons adds procedurally generated dungeon instances to Hytale. Access them through the Ancient Portal once you hit 100 Memories.
Right now there's one dungeon type, but the creator plans to add more structures, enemies, and complexity as Hytale's tooling improves. If you're looking for endgame challenges, this is a solid start.
5. Miners Helmet
By Jaredlll08 | 10,000+ downloads
Miners Helmet gives you a craftable helmet with a built-in light source. No more juggling torches while mining. Craft it at the Armourer's Workbench and customize the lamp color using different crystal shards.
Simple concept, huge convenience. Your hands stay free for your pickaxe.
6. Macaw's Hy Furniture
By sketch_macaw | 7,500+ downloads
Macaw's Hy Furniture adds wardrobes, tables, desks, chairs, drawers, and other furniture pieces to make your builds feel lived-in. It's part of a larger series that includes carpets, stairs, windows, doors, and lighting.
If you've modded Minecraft, you probably know Macaw. The creator has hundreds of millions of downloads across their mods. Builders should grab the full set.
7. Simple Claims
By Buuz135 | 7,300+ downloads
Simple Claims adds chunk claiming and protection for multiplayer servers. Protect your builds from block breaking, placing, and interaction by other players. A party system lets you share access with friends.
Essential for any public or semi-public server. Pair it with Hytale server commands to manage your server effectively.
8. Gone Fishing
By ShyNieke | 6,700+ downloads
Gone Fishing adds a fishing mechanic to Hytale, something not included in vanilla at launch. Craft a fishing rod with sticks and linen scraps, cast into water, and wait for a bite.
The mod is barebones for now, but the creator plans to add a fishing minigame, new fish types, and additional rods. A relaxing break from combat and mining.
9. Skyblock
By Cinderstone Studios
Skyblock brings the classic survival challenge to Hytale. You start on a tiny floating island with minimal resources and have to expand, gather, and survive. The mod includes custom progression, themed islands, and bosses.
If you played Skyblock on Hypixel's Minecraft server, this will feel familiar, and just as punishing.
10. CoreProtect (Hytale Edition)
CoreProtect is a data logging and anti-griefing tool designed for server admins. It records block changes, player actions, and lets you rollback damage instantly.
Built for large servers, it runs efficiently without hurting performance. If you're managing a community server, this is non-negotiable for keeping things under control.
