Hytale 0.7.2 is the latest version of Update 7 as of October 20, 2026. After the launch of Chapter I (0.7.0, on October 12), Hypixel Studios released two hotfix patches: 0.7.1 on October 13 and 0.7.2 on October 14. Here’s what each one changes according to the official notes, the most common problems when updating, and which mods, plugins and servers break with 0.7, including the infamous code 11.
Item and option names are kept in English, as in the game and in the notes. For what’s new in the chapter, check out our Hytale Update 7 guide.
Summary: which version you should be on
| Version | Date | Key changes |
|---|---|---|
| 0.7.0 | October 12, 2026 | Launch of Update 7, «Chapter I: Out of the Breach» |
| 0.7.1 | October 13, 2026 | Connection and playing with friends, Mod Browser and the Forgotten Temple teleporters |
| 0.7.2 | October 14, 2026 | Crash in worlds carried over from Update 6, Linux crash and a new backpack recipe |
Both fixes are in the same official post, «Hotfixes: Update 7». As of October 20 there’s no 0.7.3 and no official known issues list. Our recommendation: if your world comes from Update 6, don’t play it on any version older than 0.7.2.
Hytale 0.7.1: every change
According to the official notes, patch 0.7.1 mainly fixes connection problems:
- Avatar presets: switching presets no longer leaves you in offline mode until you restart.
- Worlds hosted on Windows: joining them no longer drops after 30 seconds, either over LAN or online.
- Network change: reconnecting after your IP changes, for example when switching from Wi-Fi to a wired connection, no longer gives the «already logged in» error.
- Portals: no more disconnects when going through a portal with a projectile in the air, like an arrow or a kunai.
- Mod Browser: if a mod’s author doesn’t allow downloading it from inside the game, the Install button is grayed out with an explanation, instead of throwing a connection error. Those mods are still available on CurseForge.
- Forgotten Temple teleporters: both cost the same to repair, 25 Scraps and 1 Dubious Assembly (as of October 20, 2026, version 0.7.2; may change with patches), and they now make a sound when used.
- Spawn markers: they can now spawn large NPCs if there’s room.
- Node Editor: it no longer crashes when opened from Creative Tools, on Windows and Linux.
- For modders: spawn markers have a new optional field, MaxVerticalSpawnOffset, of up to 32 blocks. By default it takes the value of MaxDropHeight; if the range isn’t valid, the marker logs a warning and disables itself.
Hytale 0.7.2: every change
Patch 0.7.2 is shorter, but it fixes the two most serious bugs of launch week:
- Crash that kicked everyone out of the world. It was caused by loading a cave section (chunk) with an old goblin spawn beacon from Update 6, and the goblins it had spawned. It mostly affected worlds carried over from U6.
- Linux crash in worlds that store chunks with RocksDB.
- Backpack Upgrade II: it’s now crafted at the Goblin Tinkerer’s Workbench after repairing the Compressor. It costs 150 Scraps, 10 Spider Silk and 1 Voidtaken Grizzly Hide (as of October 20, 2026, version 0.7.2; may change with patches), and no longer requires restoring 100 memories. We explain it in our Goblin Lab guide.
- For modders: the Zone1_Plains1 region instance loads again.
What the notes don’t say: changed recipes
According to the community wiki and another database, the recipes for several goblin gadgets changed between October 12 and 13, although the official 0.7.1 notes don’t mention it. For example, the Scrap Glider went from 50 to 150 Scraps and from 1 to 2 bear hides, and the Dubious Assembly went from 1 to 2 Void Crystal Shards (as of October 20, 2026, version 0.7.2). If you’re following a guide published on launch day, its recipes probably no longer apply, and they may change again with upcoming patches. You’ll find the current recipes in Hytale goblin gadgets.
Common problems after updating to 0.7
Connection drops when joining a friend’s world
If the world is hosted on Windows and kicks you after 30 seconds, that’s the bug fixed in 0.7.1. Both of you should update to 0.7.2. If the problem persists, check how to play with friends in Hytale.
«Already logged in» when reconnecting
It happened when switching networks, for example from Wi-Fi to a wired connection. It’s fixed in 0.7.1.
The world freezes and kicks everyone
If the world comes from Update 6, it’s almost certainly the old goblin beacon crash. Update to 0.7.2 before going back in.
The Mod Browser’s Install button is grayed out
It’s not a bug: since 0.7.1, that’s how mods whose author doesn’t allow downloading them from inside the game are shown. Download them from CurseForge, as we explain in how to install mods in Hytale.
The server won’t start: code 11
Since Update 7, the dedicated server won’t start if it would write its data inside the launcher’s install folder, which every update patches or wipes. It exits with code 11 and tells you how to move it. The –allow-install-dir option forces it, but the sensible thing is to install it in its own folder. The steps are in how to create a Hytale server.
Players can’t join the server
The client and the server must have exactly the same version; it’s checked by hash. If players already have 0.7.2, the server has to have it too. According to server hosting providers’ guides, after updating you may need to re-authenticate the server. If it still fails, see the Hytale server connection error.
My world won’t open on the old server
A world that’s already been opened with 0.7 updates automatically and won’t open on a 0.6 server. That’s why you need to back up before updating: it’s your only way back.
View distance warning in the console
If you had MaxViewRadius above 32, it’s now capped at 32 and the console warns you. Before, a higher value could prevent the server from starting.
Mods and plugins that break in 0.7
Server plugins
This is what breaks the most. Update 7 removed or changed a large part of the chunk API, so Update 6 plugins need a new version for Chapter I. According to the modder notes and server hosting providers’ guides:
- Removed: IWorldChunks, IChunkAccessorSync, ChunkAccessor and related classes.
- Changed: TickProcedure.onTick, WorldChunk.setBlock and breakBlock, ChunkFlag.TICKING, INIT and START_INIT, ItemMergeSystem#RADIUS, DurabilityOperator and IsMajor in ShowEventTitle.
You can’t fix this yourself: the author has to release the new version. Check plugin by plugin with our guide to Hytale server plugins.
Asset packs
According to a server hosting provider’s guide, five density node types were renamed, Spectre_Void was renamed to Void_Spectre and some effects were removed. Packs that use the treasure map objective no longer load.
Content mods
Every mod that adds blocks, items or creatures needs its Chapter I version. Be careful when removing them: according to the same guide, removing a mod that adds blocks or items can ruin saved builds that use them. Back up your world before touching anything.
Spanish translation mods
Since Update 7, the game includes Spanish as an official language, so fan translation mods, like the Spanish translation, are no longer needed. That’s our own conclusion; we haven’t found reports of conflicts between those mods and the official translation. To change the language, see Hytale in Spanish.
Is there a list of broken mods?
We haven’t found a reliable one. The safe way to know is to check each mod’s Files tab on CurseForge: if it has a file marked for 0.7, use that one; if not, remove it until the author updates it. Our picks are in the best Hytale mods.
How to update without losing anything
- Back up your worlds and, if you have a server, its worlds folder and config.
- Update to 0.7.2 the client and the server at the same time.
- Remove mods and plugins that don’t have a 0.7 version.
- Test on a copy before opening the server to players.
- Check the console on first launch: code 11 and the view distance warning tell you what you need to change.
