What this mod does
Zephyr, by narwhals (author of Perfect Parries and Perfect Dodges), completely changes how you move in Hytale. It adds gliding, double jumps, wall jumps, dodges, a grappling hook and ziplines, and makes some attacks hit harder the faster you’re going. Version 0.3.17, from September 23, 2026, is released for Update 6 (0.6).
The karambit
It’s the main mobility weapon. It’s crafted at the tier 2 Weapon Bench (daggers) with 5 Shadoweave Scraps, 4 Adamantite Bars, 5 red petals and 2 sticks. Its abilities:
- Dodge or dash with invulnerability frames, as a slide, flip, spin or somersault.
- Double jump in the direction of your choice and a wall bounce you can chain with the guard strike.
- Grappling hook: launches you toward the target; with A or D you swing sideways and with S you pull in creatures that can be moved.
Kunai, glider and ziplines
- The kunai are the stealthy alternative: a rain of knives, vanishing to throw NPCs off and teleporting.
- The glider lets you cross ravines and descend from heights.
- Placing two zipline anchors strings a rope between them; you hook on with the interact key.
Admins can adjust the values live with /zephyr settings.
Update (Oct 12, 2026): with Update 7 (0.7) now out, the author has already released a compatible file: version 0.4.1 (October 12, 2026). What’s described on this page was tested with the previous version; check the author’s changelog in case anything has changed.
