Thank you all for the support.

Hypixel Studios, developer of the Minecraft-inspired survival game Hytale, has shown the sandbox game’s modding capabilities with a Vampire Survivors-like prototype that has fans excited ahead of the game’s Early Access launch later this month. In a social media post over the weekend, Hypixel co-founder Simon Collins-Laflamme shared a 40-second gameplay clip showcasing a character fending off voxel-based hordes of enemies in a top-down view arena.
The following video showcases a server-side Hytale mod created by a Hytale team member in their spare time. It’s intended purely as inspiration for how different genres could be realized within Hytale!
