Despite seeming like the initial release was just yesterday, Hytale Update 6 is already well underway, complete with new tools and adjustments to everyday play. So, today, we explore the Hytale Update 6 patch notes and highlight some of the most exciting features.

Hytale Update 6 Release Date

The Hytale Update 6 release date has not yet been shared by Simon or the Hytale team. However, previous update cycles would suggest a release date for Hytale Update 6 around mid to late summer. As for the content of Update 6, we can likely expect it to continue filling out Hytale’s foundation in preparation for the more gameplay-rich updates ahead. But that does not mean Update 6 is without its own exciting features!

What’s New in Hytale? (Patch Notes Highlights)

Creative Tools

Hytale’s already unmatched creative mode is once again getting even better! The new color tool allows players to paint landscapes with the blocks they desire by simply pointing at them. This tool even comes complete with different modes, such as gradient mode, which assists in color transitions. Block palettes can also now be saved and reused, making switching between builds and themes that much easier.

Hytale Update 6 Patch Notes (So Far!)

Update 6 Pre-Release Part 4

June 18th, 2026 Headline Features

• Added a new Color Tool to Creative Mode!
  • The new Color Tool can be found in the Specialized Tools section within the Creative Inventory and has three modes to select from:
    • Coloring mode allows you to replace blocks you are aiming at with another, and can preserve shape variants while doing so.
    • Gradient mode allows you to paint smooth color transitions across an area.
    • Shading mode applies lighter and darker tones based on a chosen light source, surface angle, or a custom palette.

Trigger Volume Tool

• A single volume can now hold multiple independent rule sets on the same event. Group conditions and effects by having them share an Entry number together.
• Added 2 new event types:
  • ‘On Block Used’ fires when a player interacts with a usable block such as a door, lever, or chest.
  • ‘On Entity Died’ fires when an entity within the volume dies.
• Added 2 new conditions:
  • ‘Block Used’ allows you to filter by things such as a block type or state.
  • ‘Entity Count’ counts the number of living NPCs inside a volume. This, combined with ‘On Entity Died’, can be used to quickly create encounters that require all enemies to be defeated to progress.
• Added 2 new effects:
  • ‘Spawn NPC’ allows you to spawn one or more NPCs.
  • ‘Play Animation’ allows you to make the triggering entity, or all entities within the volume, perform an animation.
• Adjusted 3 conditions:
  • ‘Item Condition’ now has additional options such as a ‘Comparison’ operator, ‘Empty Inventory’ toggle and can now specify metadata keys or values.
  • ‘Block Type Condition’ now has additional options regarding block rotation.
  • ‘Tag Condition’ now has a ‘Doesn’t Have Tag’ option to invert the check performed.
• Adjusted 8 effects:
  • ‘Send Message’ now has a ‘Recipient’ option allowing others to receive the triggered message.
  • ‘Send Message’ and ‘Show Event Title’ text can now include a volume tag’s value by writing the tag’s key in braces, such as {myKey}.
  • ‘Play Sound’ now has a ‘Location’ option and will default to the volume center rather than the triggering entity.
  • ‘Run Root Interaction’ now has an ‘Equip Slot’ field for using the ‘Equipped’ interaction type.
  • ‘Place Block’ and ‘Replace Block Type’ now have additional options regarding block rotation.
  • ‘Teleport’ now has a ‘Relative to Volume’ option.
  • ‘Modify Tags’ now has an ‘Append’ operation.
• Added 4 new commands:
  • /triggervolume tag set can set a volume’s tags from the chat interface.
  • /triggervolume tag remove can remove a volume’s tags from the chat interface.
  • /triggervolume tp can teleport the player to a volume. This can now also be performed via the Trigger Volume’s UI.
  • /triggervolume rename can rename a trigger volume. This can now also be performed via the Trigger Volume’s UI.
• Delayed and projectile-triggered effects will now fire at the correct location even after the projectile despawns.
• Exit effects will now also run when an entity despawns or is removed, in addition to leaving the volume.
• Resetting weather with a Trigger Volume will no longer briefly cause the sky to turn black.
• Saving Trigger Volume Presets will no longer corrupt your Assets.zip. (Also fixed in hotpatch 0.5.6)

UI & Quality of Life

• The Server Discovery screen can now be navigated with a controller.
• The ‘Use Legacy Network Stack’ option has been removed from the settings.

Bug Fixes Combat, Entity & Item Fixes

• Fixed an issue where suppressing some specific NPCs from spawning could also incorrectly cause other unrelated NPCs to spawn.
• Fixed an issue where NPC health would fully reset when reloaded.
• Fixed an issue where NPCs would lose any active effects after being saved, reloaded, or duplicated.
• Fixed an issue where summoned portals could fail to work if the destination world was just created but not yet fully loaded.
• Portal devices will now show an error message and refund portal keys if the device was trying to open a portal to a world with no valid spawn location.
• Fixed an issue where dying near a teleporter could still teleport the player.
• Hedera eyes and mouths will no longer appear to be red.

World & Block Fixes

• Fixed an issue where fluids placed by prefabs would always appear at maximum depth instead of the level defined in the prefab.
• Fixed an issue where workbenches' hammer animation could not reset correctly when a tier upgrade was applied.

Creative Fixes

• Fixed an issue where blocks would sometimes disappear when the place mode Placement Settings were set to ‘Extrude’ or ‘Draw’ and the distance was greater than the place distance.
• Fixed an issue where blocks would ignore the no-physics setting when the place mode Placement Settings were set to ‘Extrude’ or ‘Draw’.
• Fixed an issue where the ‘Eraser’ mode in the Placement Settings could only be used with a block in hand.
• Fixed an issue where ‘Air Placing’ would remain enabled after opting to reset Placement Settings.

Control & Input Fixes

• Fixed an issue where emotes would continue to play when attacking or using items.
• Fixed an issue where the sprint toggle could remain active in some situations.

Lighting Fixes

• Very dark colors should now render at their correct brightness instead of appearing as purely black.
• Bloom lighting now keeps its correct shape after resizing the game window.

Other Fixes

• Hardened a few places in the client and protocol to prevent client crashes on custom server implementations.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when multiple players join a server at the same time. This should also fix an issue where some players would not be displayed in the player list.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when the game encountered an unrecognized block type while calculating audio.
• Fixed a crash that could occur if the locally cached server list file got corrupted.
• When a wrong system clock causes a login failure, the game will now show you how far off your clock is and prompt you to sync it instead of showing a generic error message.
  • Additional changes have been made on the services side to be more lenient of a fast system clock.
• Fixed a client crash when a server locks the camera and then resets it.
• Fixed block and entity interactions no longer working while a server has the camera locked.
• Fixed a client crash that could occur when a server locks and then resets the camera.
• Fixed an issue where block and entity interactions would stop working while a server has the camera locked.
• Fixed a small VRAM leak caused by some specific locations that use text rendering.

Modder-facing Changes Creative Tools

• You can now enable Builder Tools outside Creative Mode. Set SurvivalAllowed: true in a tool's asset JSON and grant players the matching permission (hytale.editor.tool.entity, hytale.editor.tool.ruler, or hytale.editor.tool.laserpointer). Both the flag and the permission are required.

Entities & Items

• Added a new EncounterManager JSON asset type that lets you script multi-NPC encounter logic using reusable NPC instruction lists. Spawn an encounter in-world with the /encounter add <asset> command.
• ActionTriggerSpawners can now mark the NPC it spawns as a boss target for encounter tracking. This can be accomplished by setting MarkAsTarget: true in the spawn action config.
• Added a new EntityFilterDeath filter that lets role sensors react when a tracked entity dies.
• NPCs now record all entities they have spawned and all entities those spawns produced. You may use SpawnLineageAttitudeProvider to set attitudes toward the full lineage.
• Added a new ActionChangeTargetRole action that lets an encounter switch an NPC to a different role at runtime.
• Marked targets now persist briefly during role changes, preventing target loss when an NPC transitions between roles.
• Spawn suppression now correctly scopes to NPC groups. A suppressor with no SuppressedGroups continues to blanket-suppress all markers in range as before. A suppressor that lists groups now suppresses only markers whose NPCs belong to one of those groups.
• Added a new BreakShape field to ItemTool assets that allows tools to break a configurable area of blocks per swing. Set BreakShapeDurabilityMode to PerSwing or PerBlock to control how the tool loses durability.

Asset Schemas & Formats

• Added a new ClearParticlesOnRemove boolean field on ModelParticle assets. By default this is set to false and setting it to true will instantly clear all attached particles the moment the a block or an entity is removed from the world or from the player’s hand.
• BlockBreakingDecal.StageTextures is now validated as non-null at asset load. An absent field defaults to an empty array and will load without issue. A field explicitly set to null though will fail validation at load time.
• Fixed MergedEnumMapCodec so that unrecognized enum values no longer cause the whole asset to fail decoding.

For Plugin Developers

• Box.cube() and Box.centeredCube() now accept Vector3dc and Vector3ic interface types instead of the concrete Vector3d and Vector3i classes. Existing call sites passing concrete types need no changes.
• When a server sends an invalid CustomUI command and the client disconnects, the error log now shows the message chain instead of a full stack trace.
• ItemStack now carries a Quality field that overrides the item's configured quality index at runtime. Use itemStack.withQuality(index) to produce a copy with a different quality.
• The handle method on AnchorActionHandler and WorldThreadAnchorActionHandler no longer takes a JsonObject data argument.

Update 6 Pre-Release Part 3

June 11th, 2026 Entities & Combat

• Scaraks have toughened up and will no longer be damaged by environmental hazards such as brambles. They’ve also developed an immunity to poison.
• Tamed Mosshorn have developed a taste for the feedbag and will be attracted to it.

World & Blocks

• Rise and shine! Sleeping through the night now causes you to leave your bed.
• Arid Palm Leaves and Giant Palm Leaves now drop 1-5 Palm Tree Logs when broken.
• Eternal Corn crops now yield twice as much Corn. Farmers should now receive 2-4 instead of 1-2.

Audio

• Mushroom blocks will now play distinct sounds when they are walked upon, damaged, broken, or landed on.
• Crystal and gem blocks will now play distinct sounds when they are walked upon, damaged, broken, or landed on.
• Walking and landing on glass blocks will now play distinct sounds.
• The Kweebec Plushie will now play distinct sounds when it’s hit, broken or interacted with.

Naming & Categorization

• The ‘Environment’ category in the Quick Settings has been renamed to ‘Personal Environment’ to make it clearer that these are your own client settings and separate from the world settings.

Bug Fixes Avatar & Customization Fixes

• Fixed an issue where other players’ mouth animations would sometimes not play during voice chat.
• Dying to fall damage while wearing armor will now result in a more appropriate animation playing.

Combat, Entity & Item Fixes

• NPCs that charge should no longer stop abruptly when blocks are placed.
• Tamed animals should no longer unexpectedly despawn when there are a lot of the same animal type in the area.

Block & Item Fixes

• Fixed a crash that could occur when throwing a Healing Totem while moving between worlds.
• Saplings will no longer be prevented from growing if there is insufficient room for their roots.
• Breaking newly-planted Aubergines and Lettuce will now return their seeds.
• Fixed an issue where inventory items could be corrupted or duplicated through malformed move and drop requests.

Creative Fixes

• Fixed a crash that could occur when spawning NPCs using the /spawn command.
• The autocomplete for commands such as /set, /fill, /replace, and /walls will now correctly show relevant block names.

Control & Input Fixes

• Key bindings will now update correctly when you switch your keyboard layout or language.
• Keyboard shortcuts will no longer trigger when typing in input fields.
• Included profiles for more gamepad models. Previously, some gamepads were not recognized properly, resulting in unexpected behavior.

Rendering Fixes

• Fixed an issue where shadows could appear missing or cut off at certain viewing distances and angles.

Other Fixes

• Fixed various additional crashes.
• Fixed a number of typographical errors.

Modder-facing Changes World Generation

• Pin labels on the VectorProvider nodes (Adder, Cache, Cross, Multiplier, Normalizer, PlaneProjector, ScalarMultiplier, SetX/Y/Z, Subtracter) were renamed for clarity in the node editor.

Blocks, Prefabs & Farming

• You can now stop players auto-stepping onto a block. Set DisableAutoStep: true in its BlockMovementSettings and players must jump up instead — useful for ledges and fences.
• Prefab-grown plants (like saplings) can now tolerate obstructions within a height band instead of failing to grow. Add TolerateObstructionsBelowY / TolerateObstructionsAboveY to PrefabFarmingStageData (prefab-relative Y, origin block = 0) to mark a band where blocking world blocks are skipped rather than cancelling growth; ReplaceMaskTags still controls which blocks get replaced. Built-in saplings now default to TolerateObstructionsBelowY: -1. (Overlapping bands disable obstruction checks entirely and log a server warning.)

Items, Armor & Projectiles

• Armor can now change how the player moves. Add a MovementSettings block to an ItemArmor asset to override walk/sprint speed, jump height, air control, and more per piece.
• Projectiles can now ignore where the caster is aiming. Set IgnorePitch or IgnoreYaw on a LaunchProjectile or ProjectileConfig to lock that axis — handy for traps, turrets, and fixed-direction spells. Add RotationOffset to nudge the angle.

Protocol & Networking

• Voice settings are now exposed to the server using the SyncPlayerPreferences. It has three new fields VoiceChat, VoiceInput, and VoiceInputMode.

For Plugin Developers Code-level changes — content/asset modders can skip this section.

• Some code has been updated to use the JOML interface types (Vector3dc / Vector3ic)
  • The Teleport constructor
  • BlockIterator.iterateFromTo()
• Custom NPC behavior code needs updating. NPC support objects (combat, state, world, etc.) are now ECS components instead of fields on Role / NPCEntity, and behavior methods now receive a Ref<EntityStore> + ExecutionSupport. Update any custom Sensors, Actions, or Motions. SpawnableWithModelBuilder is now DependencyTrackingBuilder.
• Plugin code that called NPCEntity.getAlarmStore() directly should now read the AlarmStore ECS component instead. Existing saves migrate automatically — no action needed for save files.

Update 6 Pre-Release Part 2

June 4th, 2026 Combat, NPCs, Items & Equipment

• Removed Template_Aggressive_Zombies, its root interactions and its associated attack sequences. Zombies now use Template_Predator.
• Added new death visual effects to several NPCs.
• NPCs can now spawn with multiple entity effects active.
• Added a new Template_Flying_Aggressive template meant to be used by flying hostile NPCs capable of ranged attack. Template_Eye, Template_Spirit and Template_Scarak_Seeker are now deprecated.

• Added a new Wilderness Tracking system; it identifies areas of the world as being “Near Home” or “Wilderness” based on the player bed locations.

Modding & Creative Tools

• Added support that allows control of whether a projectile's spawn position rotates with the entity firing it.
• Implemented dev settings to tweak soft collisions based on entity hitbox volume.
• Reworked soft collision radius to consider hitbox size.

• Added a Texture Atlas API - Unified API for compositing multiple keyed images into a single GPU texture.
• The Asset Editor's item preview now respects an item's Model override, matching how the item appears in-game.

Audio

• Audio Bus and Ducking rework.
  • When multiple sounds play at once, the game needs to decide which sounds to turn down so they don’t overlap and fight in your ear. The new system allows us to have better control over how and when sounds duck and quickly fade out.
• Added sounds for walking and landing on sticks on the ground.
• Added a new break sound for Deco_Treasure blocks.
• Added new sounds for cactus blocks: walk, land, hit and break.

Modding & Creative Tools

• Added a new world setting, 'Resolve Block Spawners', which controls whether block spawner blocks resolve into their target blocks (such as whether chests spawn in).
• The image and OBJ importing tools now use the new TextureComputedColor field (a dominant weighted color average of each item's textures) instead of the particle colors when matching block colors, giving more accurate imports. The importing tools will also filter out special quality items so they cannot be used in imports.

Bug Fixes Movement

• Player speed will no longer be clamped when sprinting in Creative with a speed multiplier less than 1.

Combat, Entity & Item Fixes

• Projectile spawn positions are now derived from the server's authoritative entity transform, with the client-reported position only accepted when it falls within a velocity-based desync allowance.
• NPC and mount interactions now validate the player's distance to the target entity, preventing modified clients from interacting with NPCs or mounting entities from arbitrary distances.
• Item entities placed by the Entity Tool will now correctly play their item animations after being picked up by a player.
• The Brush Sound Volume setting is now correctly applied to all builder tools.

World & Block Fixes

• Fixed a crash related to block and fluid IDs in chunk lighting being out of range.

Creative, Modding & Plugin Fixes

• The Paste Tool's offset will no longer reset after pasting.
• The Ruler Tool will no longer display the summation symbol on its last point, as it was not rendering properly.
• The Ruler Tool will now always place a point on the first run of an interaction, preventing unexpected behavior when placing points rapidly.
• Some builder tools were displaying notifications when the Show Tool Notifications setting was disabled. They will now respect the setting.
• Moved some raw strings in the Paste Tool to language keys so they can be localized.
• Empty blocks in Block Filters will now be parsed correctly (the empty fluid ID is now treated as the empty block ID).

UI & Display Fixes

• The Feline eye style in the Avatar Editor now correctly displays as "Feline" instead of "Felin".
• The Plain Jersey overtop now correctly displays as "Plain Jersey" instead of "Plain Hoodie", which was colliding with the separate Plain Hoodie cosmetic.
• Fixed a client crash that could occur in the inventory drag handler when a server inventory update resized the inventory between mouse-down and mouse-move.
• Fixed a client crash in mouse element handling that could occur when a mouse-out handler reentrantly cleared the mouse element.
• When the server kicks, disconnects, or times out a player, the disconnect screen will now show the actual localized reason that was sent by the server, instead of a generic error message.
• Singleplayer worlds that fail to start will now show the actual error on the disconnect screen, instead of silently returning to the main menu.
• Singleplayer worlds with a missing world directory will now show a clear "world not found" message on the disconnect screen.

Other Fixes

• Fixed a number of typographical errors.
• A corrupt Settings.json will now be automatically recovered from its backup file, instead of crashing the client.
• Gamepad open failures will no longer be reported as a crash, as they are a local device condition and not a client bug.

How to Make Hytale Update 6 Servers

Update 6 has made playing Hytale with friends better than ever before! Hytale Update 6 pre-release 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 other places around the web.
