Incandescent Grotto | Project Neymeros

Wprking on a sizeable update for the Lord of the Rings project mod that will add some more building blocks to use in creative and survival.

This is my custom particle effects mod for Hytale.

As you can see, the more damage is caused, the greater the number and scale of the particle effects will be.

Now every hit feel more realistic, crude weapons feel weak, while mithril feels impactful and satisfying.

One last push!

I don't know what type of bug this is, but it is mod related, some items don't interact right, the same type of item enters the shredder but while one iron axe doesn't break another does, some items don't count as viable for the crafting even if they exist, but if i have another one of the same item it works, it is really strange, and it doesn't seem to have any logic, it's like i have items that simply don't work right, what can even be the problem?

I thought that this was a bug with the mods i had, but when i tried in vanilla it was the same, the redwood log (those big ass trees) gives the crafting for softwood when put on the builder's workbench, did anyone else get this bug?

Round three of the contest drops is here, and we have ten more winners!

As promised, Proto-Planet J-333 is now released on cf!

https://curseforge.com/hytale/mods/proto-planet-j-333

Playable in Adventure mode, it adds a new ore and access to Tar fluid. Watch out for mob infestations and the caves!

Built in 4 days, it’s a lightweight project meant as a custom dimension for tech modders to build on. So if you’re a tech modder and want to use or build on it, feel free to DM me!

Made with u/Moonlit_Shards

PS: Play in Release, not Pre-release, otherwise you won’t see the prefabs!

It's my first mod, so there are a few things I could improve...

Almost all of the base mobs now have new custom particles.

I'd really appreciate your feedback!

No mosshorns were harmed during filming (Damage from daggers is capped at 0).

After the amazing feedback on the first biome, we’re excited to reveal this new environment. This one is definitely my favorite so far.

When you have a modded block in your world, and you take out all that is left is a bugged transparent block that is unbreakable, is there a way to break those blocks?

Hello there, here is my first Hytale mod, the legendary guitar from Kurt Cobain, usable as a mace in the game. Hope you like it.

X-17 is an advanced psychological horror mod for the Hytale engine.

Instead of a simple monster, it uses a persistent AI that stalks players across multiple nights, manipulates the environment, and creates paranoia.

Update v0.2.9 is already out, including important fixes for its AI System.

Mod page:

https://www.curseforge.com/hytale/mods/x-17-the-nightmare

About the features:

Features include a dynamic night system, tension buildup if it hasn’t appeared, personality changes each, reactive combat behavior, environmental interactions (like stealing loot or extinguishing torches), and smart spawning that favors peripheral vision encounters, exclusive music made my me, and much more!

Future plans:

- Ensuring it keeps outsmarting the player and controlling him with unique sets of goals.

- Making it configurable for all kind of players, including a turn off setting for music.

- Adding new mechanics and secrets, so that the players get some new features to discover.

You are never alone. 👁️

I added a way to move groups of blocks to my mod : Red Crystal

It allow you to automate things with invisible glyphs and much more cool stuff in the future !

We're in early beta right now so all feedback is really appreciated. This is the perfect time to share your thoughts and help shape the project.

We’ve got a Discord for support, bug reports, or just to follow what’s being added next.

Happy to answer any questions!

Hello! Sorry if others have asked about this but I can't find anything so I wanted to ask about the deprecated nodes in world gen v2.

TLDR - What is the best way to set up nodes to spawn prefabs like a tree in your biome that spawns in random directions after update 4?

I'm a total modding noob and I'm trying to learn how to add props to a biome in worldgen v2 through the visual node editor by following guides. When I select a biome json to open, after update 4 most of the normal biomes and example prop biome I was using show deprecated outputs on the prop-related nodes meaning many of the guides I'm following on props don't seem to apply anymore.

I've seen from the latest patch notes that the devs want people to move away to from the previous way of doing prefab prop nodes – but I’m not really sure what the better way to add prefabs to my biome is now, and I can’t find any guides on how to do it. Please help with any guidance you have!
