Hytale vs Minecraft: 5 key differences you should know about

Two Spider-Man pointing at each other meme overlaid on Hytale screenshot of procgen world.

Hytale sure looks a lot like Minecraft, doesn't it? Giving a quick glance at some side-by-side screenshots it would be pretty easy to confuse the two, though that's not a huge surprise: Hypixel Studio, maker of Hytale, was founded by Minecraft modders and mappers who decided to create their own voxel game.

Besides looks, Minecraft and Hytale have a ton in common: they both take place in "infinite" procedurally generated worlds with multiple biomes and deformable terrain, they both feature base-building and gear and weapon crafting, cooking, wildlife and fantasy monsters, and other similar systems. They can both be played solo or in co-op, they both have creative modes, and they're both moddable. And there's blocks. So many, many blocks.
