Block by block, Hytale continues to grow, and already, update four is ready for players to use in singleplayer and on the servers they own! So, today, we explore the Hytale Update 4 patch notes, the new blocks it adds, and how you can enable proximity voice chat on a server with friends.

Update Highlights

Proximity Voice Chat

Players who wish to enable voice chat can now speak to each other in-game, with voices growing more distant the farther they are away. Additionally, players submerged or in caves will find that their voices sound accurate to the location, creating immersive experiences perfect for both friends and content creation alike. Proximity voice is disabled for players by default and comes with a variety of configuration options for server owners.

500 New Blocks

Over 500 new blocks have been added, with some making their way into survival while the rest are for general creativity. Survival highlights include new gravel blocks, stairs and half slabs for rock, cloth, smooth clay, and dirt blocks, and complete block sets for limestone, slate, chalk, and cooled magma. As for creative, the biggest addition was a new subset of blocks meant for sci-fi builds called Cybercity blocks.

Emotes & Expanded Hairstyles

Character customization and expression received some major updates as well! By holding down the “X” key in-game, players can now express themselves with a variety of default emotes. These include “Chicken”, “Kill”, “Laugh”, “Punch”, and “Tongue”, with many more on the way. Additionally, emotes can be created and shared by modders for players to expand what is available on their personal servers. Alongside the emote wheel, seven new hairstyles were added, and three were updated. We have listed them all below. New

• Afro
• Big Afro
• Frizzy Buns
• Long Dreadlocks
• Puffy Twin Dreads
• Dreads Fade
• Star Puffs

Updated

• Puffy Bubble Braids
• Afro Puffs
• Puffy Bun

How to Make Hytale Update 4 Servers

Proximity voice is most exciting alongside friends! Hytale Update 4 servers can be created for free with home hosting, but we recommend paid hosting due to the resources and RAM a Hytale server often demands. Paid hosting is offered here at BisectHosting and many other places around the web.
