What is the difference between the community edition and the new unified version that is also available for free?

A screenshot of Darkhax's total project downloads from the CurseForge authors dashboard.

If I had a nickel for every time my mods have been downloaded 1 billion times on @curseforge.com I would have two nickels. That's not a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Thanks to everyone who enjoyed my mods for #Minecraft, #Hytale, and all the other games I mod! #mcdev

It's time for me to also provide a tiny sneak peak at what I've been working on in #Hytale 👀

An info hud showing more info about what you're looking at.

While playing @hytale.bsky.social I often wondered, what are we looking at? EyeSpy, a port of my mod WAWLA will be available for #Hytale on @curseforge.com from day one!

Creator code DARK

An assortment of paintings from the Dark Paintings mod, now available in Hytale!

So happy that I was able to port one of my favorite mods to @hytale.bsky.social! Pixel Paintings and at least 10 of my other mods will be available for #Hytale on @curseforge.com DAY ONE!

Creator code DARK

This looks so cool! Can't wait to try it out!

Many people who enjoy MC will also enjoy Hytale, and naturally creators will try to recreate experiences in Hytale. Hytale is not trying to be MC though, and a lot of the similarities are surface level. I think in the long run it will develop its own community and culture, like Terraria has.

A twitter post announcing that Hytale mods will be available on CurseForge from day one, along with a quote from Darkhax, wait that's me! "The game's systems are very modular, which makes adding and modifying content feel intuitive. Creating new blocks and items only takes a few seconds, and it's great to get immediate in-game feedback as you iterate" - Darkhax

Looks like the cat's out of the bag 😅

I've been working with CurseForge and Hytale for a bit now to test out the game, and put together some day 1 mods! I am looking forward to sharing more info soon!

Hey, crops are defined using data packs. I have built in packs for all of the vanilla crops and many of the popular mods, but there are still a lot of mods that still need to be supported, I just haven't had time to go through them.

Use code DARK when buying or upgrading your copy of Hytale to support me!

It's wild to see #Hytale heading into early access after all these years!

I'm really excited to mod this game, and if you want to support my modding work, you can use creator code DARK when buying or upgrading your copy of the game!

This is a pretty cool idea, I like how it adds a bit of extra lore to the game. Might add this to the SpookyJam server.

A room with many kinds of brick botany pots. The room is made of tuff bricks where adding in Minecraft 1.21.1. There is a painting on the wall of a rose which was also added in this version of Minecraft. The botany pots are growing an array of flowers that are similar to the rainbow color spectrum.

After countless hours of development Botany Pots has been ported to Minecraft 1.21.1! Thank you to everyone who joined to beta tests and gave feedback!

Downloads are available on CurseForge and Modrinth!

This is such a cool idea, nice work!

Please keep in mind you will still need the dependencies Bookshelf and Prickle. These can both be found on CurseForge or Modrinth.

Fabric is still supported and was included in the first few beta packages, but due to lack of interest I only included NeoForge links for the last few I shared. The project will be leaving beta very very soon, but if you can't wait the fabric builds are here maven.blamejared.com/net/darkhax/...

The vanilla Minecraft trees growing in an array of botany pots. The pots dyed glazed terracotta and are arranged from red to pink emulating the colours of the rainbow.

A screenshot of the Botany Pots GUI. The pot is growing an oak sapling. Using shears is required to get leaves as a drop.

The latest beta adds two new properties called growth and yield. The soil, tool, and pot type can change these properties. Growth changes the time it takes for the crop to grow while yield gives you more drops! In the vanilla content you can increase growth by using soils and a tool with the efficiency enchantment. Yield can be increased by the looting and fortune enchantment (in the next beta).

Did you know there is a public beta for Botany Pots 1.21.1 on my Discord? Come check it out at discord.darkhax.net!

The mods are similar but not the same. They each offer different features and support different mod loaders and game versions.

It is similar to displaying multiple mod loaders when a player creates a new profile.
