Hytale is finally gaining momentum with its Update 1, a patch that touches almost every aspect to make the daily experience less of a headache. The Hypixel Studios team has rolled up their sleeves to tackle performance and stability, but what will really catch your eye is the injection of life into the biomes. If you enjoy getting lost in the underground jungles, get ready to encounter dinosaurs and new characters that, although still moving with somewhat basic patterns, give exploration a totally different feel.

The team has listened to the community’s complaints and made significant changes to the crafting system. Crafting your first backpack will no longer be a chore, as they’ve lowered the leather costs and expanded the range of workbench accessibility. It’s a relief to see that you can now organize your inventory without risking your life in the attempt, plus they’ve added a ton of new sounds so that mining or breaking minerals doesn’t always sound the same. You can tell they want the world to feel more organic and less cardboard-like.

New Features in Orbis

As for creatures and combat, things have gotten serious with balance adjustments. Skeletons no longer drown (which makes sense, really) and Kweebecs have hit the gym to become immune to cactus and thorn damage. They’ve also tweaked the predators’ intelligence, like foxes, which will now ignore you unless you’re looking for a fight. It’s a touch of realism that’s appreciated when you’re just exploring and don’t want to be sword-fighting every two seconds.

Lastly, if you’re one of those who care about their avatar’s look, they’ve added new customization options with cat eyes, demonic eyes, and even reptilian eyes. They’ve also fixed some pretty ugly bugs that made the game crash when choosing certain hairstyles or trying to load Heart of Orbis memories. All in all, an update that not only brings fresh content but also polishes those rough edges that took you out of the game, showing that post-launch support is very serious.
