Hytale New Worlds Modding Contest
The Hytale New Worlds Modding Contest is designed to celebrate creativity at every skill level and accelerate the growth of the Hytale modding community. Each of the three main categories awards $27,000 in prizes, with the following breakdown:
- 1st Place: $10,000
- 2nd Place: $7,500
- 3rd Place: $2,500
- 4th–10th Places: $1,000 each
WorldGen V2: $27,000 in Prizes
Create generated worlds using World Gen V2's visual node editor. Build a biome, region, or zone with a clear theme, strong landmarks, and great exploration from the ground up.
NPCs: $27,000 in Prizes
Bring life to Hytale. Create or update NPCs — critters, enemies, or boss fights — with behaviors players will remember. Push the asset configuration system to its limits.
Experiences: $27,000 in Prizes
Create a new way to play Hytale — adventure maps, minigames, hard modes, or deep systems (skill trees, progression, crafting reworks). PvP and multiplayer welcome.
Beyond the core categories, even more chances to win are built into the competition. After finalists are revealed, players will vote across all entries to highlight five Community Favorites, with $2,000 awarded to each winner, putting $10,000 directly in the hands of community-chosen creators. The contest will also feature three surprise Mid-Contest Drops throughout the submission period. Each Drop rewards 10 creators with $300 for qualifying entries, unlocking an additional $9,000 in prizes and recognizing standout work along the way.
