Spent some months building HyCreator 👀, a modern Asset Editor for Hytale. Items, recipes, droplists, NPC behavior, Encounter Managers, custom UI: real forms, live 3D previews, engine-exact simulators, one-click deploy to the game. Releasing soon. #Hytale #HytaleModding Shoutouts to @DemoHytale for the HyCreator name and @Starky_TV for the icon. The whole point is removing as much friction as possible between you and what you want to create. No more hand-editing raw JSON. Features : - Open the vanilla files (release or pre-release, straight from your game install/shared source github) or your mod folder. Everything just opens: NPC roles, items, blocks, recipes, droplists, prefabs, worldgenv2 biomes, translations, custom UI. Mods resolve every vanilla asset they reference but don't ship. - Real forms with docs, autocomplete everywhere an id goes, validation that points at the exact broken field. - Quick open (Ctrl+P), full-text find in files (Ctrl+Shift+F), a command palette for every action. - Rename an asset, every reference in your mod follows. Fork any vanilla asset into your mod WITH its whole dependency chain. Diff your files against the vanilla they shadow. Unused-asset report when you want to clean up. - You SEE what you edit: models and NPCs in 3D with their gear and animations, orbit around them, scrub frame by frame. - Particles, prefabs, items, NPCs: all previewed right inside the asset editor, something even Hytale's built-in editor doesn't do. Sound refs get a play button. - An icon generator that bakes item icons exactly like the game does. - Nothing is hardcoded: forms, sensor/action palettes and docs are generated from the game's own data files. New Hytale version drops? The editor just follows. - NPC brains render as node graphs: sensors, actions, states, referenced components. The whole decision tree laid out visually instead of nested JSON. - The NPC behavior simulator (alpha) runs the real engine rules (first match wins, Once flags, state machines, motion channels, all dug out of the server source). - Droplists, recipes and CAE get dedicated visual editors, not walls of JSON: the droplist tree shows live drop chances on every entry, recipes show their actual crafting layout, CAE curves are plotted so you see what a tweak does, with a scorer that ranks actions the way the engine would. - And droplists run on the exact roll algorithm, so "simulate 10k rolls" shows the odds your players will actually get. - Format-preserving saves: files re-save byte identical, your git diffs only show what YOU changed. Atomic writes with automatic backups, crash drafts on reopen, local edit history with one-click revert. - Dark, light, OLED and fully custom themes. Each theme is one real JSON file you can share. - Portable: a single ~10 MB exe, nothing to install, drop it anywhere and run. Auto-updates planned. - Optionally, link the companion apps I also created: Prefab Studio, WorldGenV2 Studio and Particle Editor. You get shortcuts that jump from an asset straight into the right tool: prefabs open meshed in Prefab Studio, biomes and world structures in WorldGenV2 Studio, particles in the Particle Editor. - Blockbench works too: every model asset gets a Blockbench button, and saving there hot-reloads the preview in HyCreator. It will still require a lot of work and optimizations !

Now I can mount T-rex and have it attack (bite) whenever I want (using jump key) Time to update my second mod with taming support & attack support while mounting dinosaurs 🦖 #Hytale #HytaleModding #Dinosaurs
