The Hypixel community is at the heart of everything we do, and it would not have been possible for us to develop Hytale without your support over the years. Sincerely, we just can’t thank you guys enough for the opportunity you have given us.
We are excited to finally be able to involve the community in the development of the game. Your feedback and ideas will be essential to Hytale, we truly hope that you guys will like what we have been working on.
Hytale is a huge deal for all of us. It represents our first steps as a fully-fledged game developer, and we're very proud of the work we've done so far. We can't wait to share it with you, and we hope you're excited too.
A countdown timer is now live at Hytale.com. When that timer expires, you’re going to be treated to a first look at the game. Until then, to answer some of your initial questions, we’ve prepared a short FAQ. It doesn’t cover everything, but lots more answers are coming later this week in a full FAQ.
We're going to be shouting about Hytale from the rooftops - and we hope you'll join us. Share your excitement! Tell your friends! You'll want to bring them with you as we embark on the amazing adventure that comes next.
All aboard! The hype train will be departing shortly and it has no brakes.

Pre-Announcement Community FAQ
What is Hytale?
- Hytale is the game that the Hypixel Studios team has been working on for the last several years - it’s sometimes been referred to as ‘standalone’. We can’t say more than that for now. No spoilers!
- The group working on Hytale actually commenced work over two years ago, so there are no changes being made to the ongoing development of the server network. The Hypixel Network will continue to operate, update, and create new things.
- Fortunately for us, Hytale’s development is fully funded. We haven’t finalized the business model, but payment will not be a factor until the game is playable.
- Hytale is a brand new game and it is not possible to move anything between the two.
- No. Nothing is shared between the two. We’re launching new social media channels for Hytale to help you follow the game’s development, see below for links!
- Hypixel Inc. is the company that runs (and will continue to run) the Hypixel server. Hypixel Studios is a new company that has been formed in order to develop Hytale.
- This week is all about showing you what the team has been working on in secret for so long. A website for the game with additional info - screenshots, concept art and more - will launch alongside the first look trailer. We get that you’re excited to play - we’ll let you know as soon as we’re ready to open the doors!
- Yes, Hytale will be available for Windows and Mac. More information about platforms will follow when the countdown ends.
- Yep! There will also be a content creator-oriented FAQ available on the Hytale website upon unveil. You also have permission to reupload and activate monetization on the trailer for purposes of reaction, analysis, commentary, and so on.
We’re also launching new social media channels for Hytale and Hypixel Studios. Find them below!

- Turning off "Allow direct messages from server members". This will allow only messages from people that are your Friend in Discord.
- Checking your "Who can add you as a friend" to make sure you are happy with the settings. You can allow everyone, friends of friends, server members, or no one to add you as a friend.
- Discord Settings > Connections
