That explosive growth wasn't solely off the back of Hypixel's modding successes, however. Hypixel started as just two developers working together on Minecraft maps, but has grown to a team of 40 now. Its reportedly been worked on for over three years by Hypixel, but a recent change has changed development significantly. The development of Hytale is particularly interesting. These tools include basic block building, in-game scripting, a model creation feature, and a toolset for cinematic filmmaking. And third is, of course, Hytale's robust creators' tools for customizing and modding Hytale as players see fit. First, as befits the Hypixel brand, Hytale will also include a minigames mode featuring several of the team's most famous games. Alongside the adventure mode are two more core aspects of the game. The procedural world will be filled with handcrafted adventure scenarios including mage towers, underground caverns, dungeons, and giant monsters, supported by a robust crafting and loot system full of weapons and armor.Īdventure mode isn't all Hytale has to offer, however. However, unlike Minecraft, Hytale sets aside the core survival focus in favor of an adventure RPG form. It is, like Minecraft, a "blockgame" and will feature a core adventure mode with procedurally generated servers. Hytale is a new game built from the ground up to expand on the ideas Hypixel experimented with in Minecraft, but couldn't achieve solely with mods. Introducing Hytale, Hypixel's standalone sandbox RPG. But Hypixel's aspirations grew beyond the limitations of Minecraft and now it's ready to show the world what it has been working on. The team has set multiple world records, including for the most popular independently run game server. Hypixel is one of the most popular and successful Minecraft modding teams ever, best known for their Minecraft minigames Bed Wars, SkyWars, and Murder Mystery.
