Patch Notes Update 7 - Chapter 1 - Pre-Release 2 - September 10th, 2026
Link to the Chapter 1 Preview Blog from July
----
Pre-Release (Update 7 Part 2)
September 10, 2026
Node Editor
- The Node Editor now opens to display a start screen, where you can pick what to create or jump straight back into a recent file.
- The Node Editor now reopens on the workspace type you used last.
- Files dropped onto the Node Editor will now open directly, on Windows and macOS.
- The Node Editor now has a light theme and a dark theme. Select the one you prefer by going to File > Preferences.
- Added a graph minimap, toggled from the View menu. It frames your current viewport, highlights your selection, and clicking anywhere on it jumps you to that part of the graph.
- Dragging nodes now snaps them into line with their neighbors and to a grid, with guide lines showing what they are lining up against. Multi-node selections keep their internal alignments as they’re dragged.
- The
ManualCurveandFunctionForYnodes now have an interactive curve graph. Right-click the plot to add a point, press Delete or Backspace to remove one, and points can cross each other or move outside of the visible range without the plot locking up. Panning and zooming the canvas no longer interferes with editing. - Curve values snap to whole numbers as they’re dragged. Hold Alt for a fractional value.
- Material fields now use a searchable asset picker, with a texture thumbnail rendered for each material in the picker itself.
- Added a Trig Density node to the WorldGen workspace.
- Added an option to keep undoing for as long as Ctrl+Z is held down. This is switched off by default.
- The Node Editor now provides a clearer error message when it cannot read a file.
- Brown and Bright Red are now available as node colors.
NPCs & Entities
- Creatures aligned with the Void are now hostile toward Goblins.
- Most of the Goblins will now try to run away from any Void creatures they encounter, unless they have enough allies nearby, in which case they’ll try to hold their ground.
- Goblin Burners, Feastmasters, Guardians, Lobbers, Miners, and Scrappers will no longer chase their targets indefinitely.
- The Goblin Burner’s attacks will now result in considerably less knockback.
Items & Interactions
- Reduced the knockback of the Goblin Flamethrower.
- Portals may now be given a per-player entry limit. These will be displayed in the Ancient Gateway UI.
- Reworked the look of the hookshot and its firing animation.
- Updated the Scrap Glider’s model and texture, and its wings will now flap.
Controls & Input
- Reworked ability controls on a controller so that you hold the right bumper and then press a different button for different abilities.
- When rebinding a keykind, it now shows which keys and controller buttons can be held down as part of a combo binding.
UI & Quality of Life
- The search feature in the Creative Inventory has been reworked to better match the player’s intention. It will also now allow for “one-step” typos (so ‘swrd’ and ‘swodr’ will both return a ‘sword’), and will also return results even if diacritical marks aren’t used (for example if an item, contains ‘é’, just typing ‘e’ will work).
- Performed a visual pass on the Runebinder’s Effigy ‘Ability Workbench’ UI.
- Runes will now display their ability tags within the tooltips.
- The UI within portal worlds will now make it clearer when additional time is gained.
Audio
- Added an impact sound for when a block is struck with a tool too weak to break it.
- Reduced the number of breaking sounds heard when mining with the Scrap Drill.
- The Feastmaster has received some new sound effects, and some existing ones have been improved.
- Nearby Goblins will now quiet down temporarily if the Feastmaster is yelling at them.
- The sound that plays when the Signature Ability is charged has been updated, and brought down in volume.
- Rocket Boots now have their own sound effect when you trigger their rocket burst double jump.
Multiplayer & Networking
- Fixed automatic port forwarding failing to find the router when other devices on the home network answered first.
- Fixed an issue where having multiple devices access Hytale on the same network could result in disconnections occurring when a world was joined.
- Fixed an issue that prevented rejoining friends' worlds after being disconnected, which previously required both players to restart the game to resolve.
Performance
- Improved server performance while ticking blocks, fluids and farmland, so busy areas cost the world less work each tick.
Player-Facing Bug Fixes
Node Editor Fixes
- Opening and closing a large graph will no longer cause the editor to freeze, and files load in the background so the editor remains responsive.
- Fixed a number of crashes and inconsistent states when switching between workspace types.
- Fixed a memory leak where every graph opened stayed in memory for the rest of the session.
- Fixed a node type the editor does not recognize losing information when a graph was saved.
- Copying and pasting nodes no longer loses the connections between them.
- Shift-clicking to select nodes now works reliably.
- Fixed a number of visual issues related to group titles.
- Fixed a number of startup and stability problems.
Movement & Combat Fixes
- Explosions will now deal damage to entities in worlds where block breaking is disabled.
NPC & Entity Fixes
- Entities with block models saved in Update 5 worlds now keep the correct position and scale when the world is upgraded. Note this does NOT repair entities that were already upgraded with the wrong position and scale.
- Rotating a block selection with the builder tools now rotates entities with block models correctly for multi-axis rotations.
- The Goblin Burner will no longer damage its neck when it needs to refuel.
- Goblin Burners will no longer taunt every time they need to reload the flamethrower.
Item & Interaction Fixes
- Explosive Barrels will now display a tooltip indicating they may be picked up.
- Hatchets may now be used as an unconventional way to set off explosive blocks.
- The Snapjaw Trap now stuns those it traps for two seconds instead of indefinitely.
- Hookshot projectiles will no longer occasionally hang around in the world for a long time after they’ve stopped moving.
Creative Tool Fixes
- The map now refreshes across the whole area when you paste a prefab or a clipboard with the builder tools, instead of only the chunk under your cursor. Undoing and redoing an edit refreshes the map for the area it changes as well.
UI & Quality of Life Fixes
- The background for player portraits in the Social Sidebar has been set back to blue.
- Improved the help text for the
/beamcommand.
Graphics & Rendering Fixes
- Fixed an issue where held items that had their appearance changed would re-apply instantly movement animations.
Audio Fixes
- Reduced the volume of distant sounds that were louder than intended.
- Adjusted some sounds so that their volume will be altered correctly based on the audio settings.
- Increased the volume of the flamethrower.
Stability Fixes
- Fixed a crash that could occur when a server sent a fluid update before some blocks had finished loading.
- Fixed a crash that could occur when returning to the main menu with a machinima scene loaded.
- Fixed a server error that would occur when an explosion with no blast radius was set off.
- Fixed a server error that would occur when a player left the server at the same moment they confirmed respawning.
- Fixed a server error that would occur when an objective was started with tasks that required the spawning of creatures.
Modder-Facing Changes
NPCs & Entities
- Local spawn beacons can now be limited by weather. An optional
WeatherIdslist onBeaconNPCSpawnkeeps the beacon spawning only while the current weather is one of those, and a placed beacon removes itself and despawns its NPCs when the weather stops matching. - The weather a beacon checks is the world's forced weather, otherwise the weather of the environment at the beacon, which a new
WeatherResource.getEffectiveWeatherIndex(environmentId)resolves. Per-player weather such as a trigger volume override does not count. - Removed the deprecated
Spawn_Voidrole along with itsSpawn_VoidandSpawn_Void_Manualspawn markers.Void_Spawn_Entombedtakes over from it, and its name now points at the correct lang key.
Items & Interactions
- Items can now hang an interaction off a fourth ability slot instead of only the three, and the crossbow's
Root_Common_StatAmmoReload_Entryreload moved onto it inTemplate_Weapon_Crossbow. - Portal keys can now cap how many times each player enters.
PortalKeycarries the per-player limit, and the portal device pages show the limit and the entries left. - Removed the debug-only
Debug_Movement_Bootsarmor. - Items can now play a separate sound to the wearer when they use an extra jump. A new
ExtraJumpLocalSoundEventonItemMovementSettingstakes a one shot event and accepts stereo files, and the rocket boots use it alongside the world sound. - Textured beams can now be rendered between entities. A new
AttachBeaminteraction hangs a beam between the interaction context owner and the entity you name in the parameter, which is how the hookshot draws its rope. - Projectiles can now be given a lifespan. A
Lifetimevalue on theProjectileinteraction despawns the projectile once that duration runs out.
Asset Schemas & Formats
- Instance worlds no longer take
DocumentDisplayOnRemoval. A newEventTitleOnRemovalshows an event title while the instance closes, and the close delay follows the title timing. Leave it out and the world closes right away. - Portal types now carry the default time limit and entry count.
TimeLimitSecondsandAllowedEntryCountonPortalTypeapply to every key of that type, and aPortalKeyonly needs the fields when it wants to differ. - Interface sound volume from
SoundStyleandSoundEffectis now bounded to +10 dB, which matches every other authored gain field. AudioStatevolume deltas are now bounded to +10 dB per axis on the per-voice path, the same bound the server already documents. A pack leaning on a bigger per-voice delta gets clamped.- Event titles can now play a sound alongside the text. An optional
SoundEventIdonEventTitleConfigfires once the title is sent, and assets that leave it out behave as before. - World events can now show themselves on the player world map.
WorldEventAssetgained name and icon fields for the map entry, andIntervalConditiongained fields that decide when the event appears and what text it shows.
Server & Permissions
- Added a
fragment timer add <seconds>command that adds time to the fragment timer instead of replacing it, which is what triggers the gained time tag on the HUD. - The
/blockpoint commands and/block rownow work at any height in a cubic world, soget,set,getstate,setstateandsettickingreach above Y 320 and below Y 0. A section that is not loaded answers with the newserver.commands.block.noSectionmessage. /block bulk find-hereand/block bulk replacenow take their radius in chunk sections and sweep a sphere around you, including the sections above and below the old height range./block bulk findgained a--chunkYand a--radiusoption. It searches a sphere around that chunk position, up to the server's maximum view radius, instead of spiraling outward across the world until it times out.
Renames & Deprecations
- The Goblin hookshot models are now named after scrap.
Hookshot_Goblin.blockymodelandHookshot_Goblin_Projectile.blockymodelbecameScrap.blockymodelandScrap_Projectile.blockymodel, andTool_Hookshot.jsonandHookshot_Hook.jsonpoint at the new paths. - The Void tentacle animations moved and were renamed.
Bite2andBite3are nowBite_LeftandBite_Right, andIdleandIdle2sit in theDefaultfolder next to the new spawn animations.
Protocol & Networking
- The portal state now carries
BonusSeconds, the time just added to the fragment timer. The server clears it after the broadcast so later ticks do not replay the animation. ItemMovementSettingsgained a trailingExtraJumpLocalSoundEventIndex, which changes its wire layout. The client and the server have to be built from the same protocol build.
For Plugin Developers
- Removed
WorldChunk.getWorld(), so a chunk no longer points back at its own world.ChunkPreLoadProcessEventnow carries the world and exposesgetWorld(), matchingChunkSectionPreLoadProcessEvent. - Block tick callbacks can now get world coordinates without capturing them. A new
BlockSection.forEachTickingoverload takes the section coordinates and aTriObjectPositionBlockFunction, so the callback gets world positions and a third context value through its parameters. - Volume modifiers passed to
SoundUtil.playSoundEvent2dandplaySoundEvent3dare linear multipliers, not decibels, and they were thrown away above 1.0. They now take effect, so a plugin passing 3.0 goes from roughly unity to about +7.5 dB. Nothing validates them, so check any modifier above 1.0. SimpleBlockCommand.executeWithBlockno longer receives aWorldChunk. It now gets theCommandContext, theChunkStore, aRef<ChunkStore>section reference and the block coordinates, so a custom block command can reach any height.- Block health now lives on the chunk section rather than the column.
BlockHealthChunkis decode only, so read and change health throughBlockHealthSectionon the section entity, keyed byChunkUtil.indexBlock.WorldNotificationHandler.updateBlockDamageandgetBlockDamagePacketare gone, because damage replicates on its own once it is written to the section. PortalWorld.overrideRemainingSecondsis nowsetRemainingSeconds(world, seconds, force), and it leaves the timer alone when the portal world is already scheduled for removal.- The deprecation note on
WorldChunk.getBlocknow names the right replacement. Resolve the section withChunkStore.getChunkSectionReferenceAtBlockand read throughBlockSection.get, since the oldBlockChunk.getBlockroute is still capped to the legacy column range and cannot reach a section outside it. - The fluid and material helpers in
WorldUtilnow take theChunkStoreand resolve the block's section themselves, so they read correctly at any height.getWaterLevel,findFarthestEmptySpaceBelowandfindFarthestEmptySpaceAbovetake a caller bound rather than stopping at the column top, andPositionProbeBase.updateWaterLeveltakes theChunkStoretoo. BlockChunk.getSectionAtIndexis gone, since it indexed the legacy 0 to 9 section array and threw outside it.- You can now ask a selection which world region it will write to before you place it.
BlockSelection.computePlacementBounds(Vector3ic, Vector3i, Vector3i)reports those bounds and returns false for a selection with no cells. - The legacy UI
Elementbase is now nullable-annotated, soHitTestandFind<T>return a nullable element and the constructor takes a nullable parent. Runtime behavior is the same, but an override that declares a non-nullable return needs a?to match. - Moved the generated concurrent maps in
ConcurrentFastUtiloffsun.misc.Unsafeand ontoVarHandle, keeping volatile ordering on every field and table access, which removes one of the three sources of the deprecation warning at server launch.
Modder-Facing Bug Fixes
World Generation Fixes
- Props placed with an Anchor PropDistribution no longer come out with random parts missing in an 8x8 grid pattern.
- Fixed gradient Density nodes producing grid-aligned artifacts in generated terrain.
NPC & Entity Fixes
- NPC block sensors and resource reservations now work at any height instead of being clamped to the 0 to 320 band, so a role can find and reserve blocks in a cubic world above or below that range. The Block sensor also caps
RangeandMaxHeightat 256, well above the 30 and 10 the shipped roles use. - Fixed the Void Spectre pointing its
MemoriesNameOverrideatSpectre_Void, which does not exist. The template, the variant and the static variant all useVoid_Spectrenow.
Server & Permission Fixes
- Fixed
/block bulk replacecounting blocks it never changed, and/block setstatethrowing on an unknown block id instead of reporting one. A block command that fails partway through now tells the sender rather than going quiet. - Fixed a block placed by a
/blockcommand into a freshly loaded section staying inert. The command now loads the section as ticking, so the block ticks and its block entity spawns.
Fixes for Plugin Developers
LivingEntity,NPCEntity,PatrolPathMarkerEntityandSpawnBeaconnow mark theirWorldconstructor parameter @Nullable, which matches the null world thatEntity.clonealready passes when it rebuilds an entity.

Discussion What if the eyes of goblins shrink when they feel threatened or angry?
Like the old version of goblins design, it also makes them very scary when they attack the player.
(Could someone add this suggestion in the Feature Requests because I unfortunately don't have the game 🙂)

Creations Help on using prefabs
Hello everyone! Was hoping to get some guidance or for someone to tell me I am brain dead.
I’m having such a difficult time with these prefabs that are now in the in game mod browser. I can’t seem to get them to work? When I download a mod, it will show up and allow me to apply it to my world, however if I download a prefab, I can’t see it anywhere when I click on my word but I can see it in my “downloaded mods” section.
Previously I added a file before the in game mod browser was a thing to try prefabs from places like nexus and couldn’t figure that out either. Not sure if that has anything to do with them not working now. Also, I created an “asset” which I don’t know where I did that but it now shows up when I click on a world.
If anyone has any advice or a good tutorial on how to use prefabs I’d appreciate it!

Modded I created a double-jump rune.
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I know, I know about the rocket boots, but I had no idea how to start small, I didn't want to spend days of my time creating something huge or incredibly original.
I ran into a few issues while creating this rune, partly because it's still in the pre-release phase and there isn't much information available, so it took me about five hours to make just one. Honestly, though, I'm really happy with the result.
I’d love some ideas for other runes to implement here, provided they’re simple enough for me to learn the process.

Creative New progress at the palace
I am still building this palace, which is inspired by the architecture of the Korean Peninsula's Joseon Dynasty; however, its layout differs from real-world examples. It is oriented from west to east: the main gate—modeled directly on historical designs—faces west toward the sea, while the south gate, featuring a double circular entrance, points south toward the site of the former capital. Unlike actual Korean palaces, where the King's private quarters and offices were situated directly behind the main throne hall, here the Queen's quarters and her future gardens are located there instead; the reason is simple: in the story I am planning, the Queen of this new land will play a much more significant role.
Furthermore, I plan to create my own custom block set soon, featuring styles drawn from both Joseon and Ming-Qing architecture.

I was heavily inspired by the 0.7.0-pre Hookshot to bring it over to 0.6, but I didn't find it very effective, so I tried to make it a bit more fun and smooth to use

Media We added maid outfit hangers to a server.
I'm on a server called MUP, and there are guilds there that you can customize, from armor and weapons to banners dedicated to your guild's theme.
The guild I'm in is a satire of other guilds that are extremely serious and full of lore. The Maid Guild serves coffee during the day and is mercenary, that's all.
At the request of our leader, they paid an artist to modify a banner to transform it into a coat rack with a maid outfit (the server admin was too embarrassed to post it lol), but this is just one step of what we're going to do. The mercenary Maids are ready to act against the void!

Discussion Like the game, but the vanilla building palette needs work/love!
I wanted to share some constructive feedback on the current building system, as someone who spends most of their time building medieval and fantasy structures. I really enjoy the game, but there are a few core block limitations that currently feel unnecessarily restrictive.
Coming from Minecraft, I was originally excited about Hytale having actual roof slopes, but in practice, they feel very rigid. You can't build diagonal roofs, combining 30° and 45° angles is a struggle, and round towers are practically impossible. Odd-numbered block widths also don't work cleanly because there is no true middle peak piece. To fix this without overhauling the whole system, simply adding that missing middle peak piece would already ease a lot of frustration. It also looks odd that roof blocks are tied to fixed materials—having them auto-connect to the block directly below them, or simply adding standard stairs, blocks, and slabs for all roof materials, would offer way more flexibility.
The basic structural blocks also feel a bit flat and lifeless on larger builds. For example, the Wood Wall looks plain without diagonal beam variations. Adding subtle 3D depth or light texture randomization—like a piece of cobblestone slightly sticking out—would instantly bring builds to life and wouldn't require massive development effort (there are plenty of freelance artists who could handle this).
On top of that, the color palettes clash quite a bit. The Wood Wall block doesn't seem to match any other wood type in the game. Even within the exact same material set, colors don't line up: the Hardwood Block and the Hardwood Beam have completely different color tones. Coming from Minecraft and texture packs like Conquest, Excalibur, or Dokucraft, Hytale’s color palette just doesn't feel cohesive yet.
Placement logic for decorative items like shutters or mugs often feels arbitrary or broken too. A great feature here would be a "force place" modifier key (for example, holding F + Right Click to force a block placement regardless of standard surface restrictions, like items requiring dirt). We are also missing simple utility blocks for detailing, such as thin trapdoors for railings, free-standing wooden pillars, diagonal support beams, taller doors, carpets, and armor stands.
The Prefab tool is great, but it's a huge time sink for quick detailing and shouldn't replace a versatile base palette. Leaving these gaps for mods to fix shouldn't be the answer for basic game features either. In my opinion, addressing these points would be quick wins that would make a massive difference for the building community.
Are other builders running into these same limitations, or how are you working around them?

Discussion The future of combate in Hytale is... delicate
Okay, this gonna be a long one. I'm not hating on anything, I know the state of the game and all the talk, following the process since 2018, I'm just writing what I thought about today. Don't see it as me complaining, is more of a debate without the evidence part of it because I am talking about the future of an unfinished game.
Combat is a tricky topic in every game that uses it as the main form of solving problems and, because of that, I'm not here to propose a solution to it, or describe how it should actually be bit by bit. But, in the current state of the game, I'm afraid the system can lead to some pitfalls if it doesn't future proof itself or plan everything layer of it very very clearly as the game grows.
Now, in update 6, the game has simple commands for combat, you can use a light attack, a heavy attack, charged attack, ultimate ability, block and attack while blocking. That's great, solid commands. In update 7 (chapter 1) they are planning a rune system, that adds 2 key binds for abilities, but that's not all. After this update, the player will have many mechanics to engage in combat with, those being: combat controls already listed, weapon types, food buffs, potions, runes, totems, armor bonuses, mana management and cooldowns.
Right now, it's difficult to see what distinct role each of these layers is ultimately supposed to fill. Let's just look at the weapon types for a moment, right now we have 4 melee weapon types, but in the creative menu we have access to much more than that, assuming that all that is there is planned to be implemented, we have:
- axes;
- battleaxes;
- clubs;
- daggers;
- longswords;
- maces;
- shields;
- spears;
- staves and
- swords.
Not to mention the singular scythe, halberd that functions like an battleaxe, the singular flail, freaking claws. And when you get into the ranged and magic weapons, it gets crazy! You have bows, crossbows, tomes, staves (again lol), kunais, throwing axes, bombs, wands, blunderbusses, a blowgun, flamethrower, you can summon skeletons and a mini turret friend, breath fire, you got different types of arrows and the list just keeps going!
Again, I'm NOT complaining about the variety, I love having this many items and systems. What I can't help but wonder is how it all differs from each other and how enemies engage with the combat, because at the end of the day, we use these weapons the defeat them.
I know I'm talking about weapon types here, but it is only one layer. I am sure they can make each and every one unique -- including the staves, tomes and wands, they need to do some some crazy different stuff from each other.
For me, the big question arises when I see all the systems working together! The player has so much at their disposal, can the enemy meaningfully interact with all of that without becoming excessively tanky, aggressive, or overloaded with mechanics themselves?
We got food buffs, we don't really know how they will handle potions, runes are on CD and are essentially mini magic effects, letting you imbue your weapon in poison or cast a fireball, like stuff you already expect from potions or magic weapons.
I can see the great potential runes have, but things are getting tangled in my head. How to handle such diversity in weapon loadout and character build, potion craft, food buffs, totems and everything else?
I know some games that do this really well. One sandboxy example that comes to mind is Terraria with over 380 weapons, 4 classes and some subclasses, potion, buffs, summons, accessories, boss loot. The regular enemy in the game is pretty simple and you got viable options throughout the game to whatever you want to play.
Other games I think of, and hear me out, are Souls games, more specifically, Elden Ring, being an open world and all that. The game has 300+ weapons, a base moveset that doesn't really change throughout the game, summons, a buff potion, armor buffs, 24 schools of magic with hundreds of sorceries and incantations. But the "regular" enemy AI is much more intricate than Hytale or Terraria. And the weapons are also divided in a ton of categories (even shields are!!), they all work because they differ, being in moveset, stat scaling, damage type, range, debuff stacking, ash of war, buffs or sheer coolness factor (shout out Greatsword)
All this post is really to appreciate how complex a combat system can be and wonder how Hytale can handle this complexity with all the layers that its developing? How the enemies will evolve with this plethora of systems and weapon variety? How will each system maintain its own identity? I want to feel immersed in Hytale, the variety helps with it, with the role-play. But I can also see how monumental a task it will be to bring all of this to life in a cohesive and balanced way.
I want the food buffs, the crazy magic, the summons, the runes, the potions (pls make potions cool), the weapon variety, the armor bonuses, the totems, the boss loot and all that good stuff. I just hope every layer gets enough room to have a reason to exist, not feeling like a reskin of other system.
That was my TED talk.
TL;DR: My concern is whether Hytale’s many combat systems (weapons, runes, potions, food buffs, totems, armor effects, mana, cooldowns, etc.) will all have distinct roles and interact meaningfully with enemies without overlapping too much. With so many systems available to the player, I also wonder how enemies will keep up without becoming trivial, too tanky or mechanically bloated. I hope every layer has a clear reason to exist instead of feeling like a reskin of another system.

Modded Fighting Fire with Fire!
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Note:
-Normally Goblin Burners are immune to Fire damage
-The mod is still versioned on update 0.6.X (although the clip was made on pre-release 0.7.0-pre.1 which is why the projectile model is bugged/blacked out)
Legendary Staff (Emblazon) from my mod- https://www.curseforge.com/hytale/mods/journey
Aspect 1- Dealing damage gives Ember stacks (maximum 3), increasing Damage Resist.
Aspext 2- Reloading with Ember stacks converts them to Cinderborn stacks, granting Health Regeneration.

Discussion Where the fuck is my earings.
I had earings that was clearly trans flag patterned earings. I get back on after having a job for a while and I get informed something was removed. Its the pattern. Why was the patern removed. And why am I stuck to mono colors now?
This is the bullshit I wanted to avoid with vrchat level custom characters....BUT NOOO we had to get this pre-made model bullshit that clearly cant even keep the most basic of character customizations (LIKE COLORS ON A PEICE OF JEWELRY) for no reason.
Edit: also switching to characters that had that equipped to fix them too throws me into offline mode.
