How to Install Mods on Hytale (Solo)
Hytale is a world of endless possibilities, and modding is at the heart of the experience. Whether you want to add new biomes, fantastic creatures, or enhance your building tools, customizing your solo adventure is very simple.
This guide presents the two main methods: the simplicity of the CurseForge launcher or the precision of manual installation.
🛠️ Method 1: Using the CurseForge Launcher (Recommended)
This is the easiest method for those who want automatic update management and one-click installation.
- Installation: Download and install the standalone application CurseForge.
- Game Detection: Hytale is usually detected automatically if installed in the default location. If not, add it via the search settings.
- Navigation: Once Hytale is added to your library, browse the available mods in the dedicated tab.
- Installation: Click the "Install" button for your chosen mod. The launcher takes care of everything!
📂 Method 2: Manual Installation
If you are getting mod files directly from creators, this method allows you to have full control over your folders.
1. Locate the Mods Folder
Depending on your operating system, open your file explorer and go to the following address:
| Operating System | Path |
|---|---|
| Windows | %appdata%\Hytale\user_data\mods |
| macOS | ~/Library/Application Support/Hytale/user_data/mods |
| Linux | ~/.local/share/Hytale/user_data/mods |
2. Installation Procedure
- Download the mod file (in
.zip,.jarformat, or as specified by the creator). - Simply place the file in the mods folder identified above.
- Restart your game: the mod will be automatically loaded when starting your solo game.
[!TIP] Expert Tip: Always ensure that the mod version matches the current version of Hytale (visible on the game's main menu) to avoid any conflicts or crashes upon startup.
