Here are 3 mods with shaders and graphics upgrades for Hytale: a ReShade preset, a mod that improves tree foliage and a high-definition texture pack. Visual upgrades come in two forms: texture and model mods, which install like any other mod, and ReShade presets, which rely on an external program you install separately. Hytale is on 0.7.3 (Update 7), with Update 8 in pre-release.

The best Hytale shaders to start with

  • Atmosphere (ReShade preset): improves lighting and color without changing the game's style, with no overblown bloom or new palette, and darker nights. You need to install ReShade separately.
  • Ymmersive Foliage: denser leaves with color variation, so distant forests don't look flat or repetitive. It's subtle and lightweight. Version 1.0.4 for 0.6.
  • Realm Revamped HD: high-definition textures for forests, rocky areas, lava regions and snowy biomes without breaking Hytale's style. It's in beta and weighs about 106 MB.

Performance and versions

ReShade adds load to your graphics card: if things get less smooth, turn off the preset's heaviest effects. Ymmersive Foliage is marked for 0.6 and Realm Revamped HD is still in beta, so check its mod page and CurseForge to see whether they already have a file for 0.7.

To install texture mods, follow the guide to install Hytale mods. To see what changed on the graphics side with the latest version, go over what's new in Update 7.

Frequently asked questions

How do you add shaders to Hytale?

With ReShade: install it from its official website for the game's executable and add a preset like Atmosphere, following the instructions on its mod page. If you'd rather not use external programs, try texture mods like Realm Revamped HD.

Do shaders lower FPS in Hytale?

ReShade costs performance depending on which effects you have enabled. Ymmersive Foliage is designed to be lightweight.

Do these mods work in Update 7?

Ymmersive Foliage is marked for 0.6 and Realm Revamped HD is in beta: check its mod page and CurseForge for a 0.7 file. The ReShade preset doesn't modify the game files.
