Put your model in Hytale (the drop-in pack)
The Hytale pack is one ZIP that goes, still zipped, into Hytale's Mods folder. It holds the model, its texture, every animation clip you saved, the effects converted for Hytale, and an icon. You switch it on per world.
Get the pack
On the build page press Hytale download, or in My assets select the model and press Download for Hytale, or on a model page pick Hytale pack.
The Hytale pack window says: "One ZIP you drop in your Mods folder." It uses the version you have selected; your saved files stay as they are.
Choose the size: Recommended in-game size (Forge sizes it for Hytale) or Size as built.
For a weapon or tool, Forge sets the grip for you; Adjust grip lets you move it, Use the automatic grip puts it back.
Press Download Hytale pack. You get
<name>.zip. Keep it zipped; Hytale reads the ZIP itself.
Model files only (general use) in the same window gives the plain model and texture instead.
Install it
Open the Mods folder.
Windows: press Windows + R, paste
%APPDATA%\Hytale\UserData\Modsand press Enter.Mac: in Finder choose Go, then Go to Folder, paste
~/Library/Application Support/Hytale/UserData/Modsand press Return.Or in the Hytale launcher: the settings gear, Open directory, then UserData and Mods. The folder appears after Hytale has started once.
Drag the ZIP straight into Mods, not into a folder inside it. Do not unzip it. If Hytale is open, quit it and start it again.
Switch it on for a world. Mods are off for every world until you tick them.
New world: Create World, then Customize, open the Mods tab, tick the pack, then Create World.
Existing world: right-click the world in the list (or select it and choose Edit World), open the Mods tab, tick the pack, then Save World Settings.
To check it loaded, type
/packs listin the chat. Only the world host or the server needs the pack.Find it in the creative inventory and use it:
a creature or character: Items, Tools; hold it and right-click the ground to spawn it;
a vehicle: the same, to place it;
a prop or block: Blocks, Deco or Blocks, Structural; place it like a block;
a weapon or tool: Items, Weapons or Items, Tools; put it in your hand. A sword swings and blocks like an iron sword.
With commands on, the How to install tab in My assets also gives a command to copy.
My assets shows these steps for your model under How to install (choose Hytale, then Windows or Mac), and the README.txt in the ZIP has them too.
Several models in one pack
My Hytale pack (forge.myrlin.io/assets/hytale-pack, from My assets) puts several of your models in one ZIP: one file, one tick in a world's Mods list. Connect your AI can do the same ("Install my Frost Hydra and Ember Fox in Hytale as one pack").
Wear it
For armour and hats, the window can show Wear it in Hytale. This is not open to every account yet; see Coming soon: the Studio and wearables.
What it costs
Free for your own models, as often as you like.
If it does not work
The pack is not in the Mods list
The ZIP must sit directly in Mods, still zipped. Restart Hytale after adding it.
It is a pink and black box
The texture did not load. Put the original ZIP back in Mods and keep it zipped; do not rename or move files inside it.
Nothing happens when you type a command
Commands must be allowed in your world. Use the creative inventory instead.
An animation does not play
Only the clips listed as connected play in the game, and some wait up to 20 seconds before they start. It may also be saved on another version: My assets, Animations & effects says which version holds each one.
An effect does not show
Only the ones listed as connected show. Look at it from close up.
It is too big or too small
Download again with Recommended in-game size.
