I would like to propose the idea of a hytale server for hexbear, I will be creating this server although if anyone else wishes to do so they may. I will be creating a new comm for this, my question is what do people here think about the idea. Is there any interest in a Hytale server?

(again it will be owned and managed by me unless anyone else has another idea in which case I will hear them out, im asking here because ideally I would like this to be at least semi-official and tied to hexbear)

I found the suggestion to make a Luanti one pretty cool, since it's open source™️, but it's probably not as feature-full as something like Hytale.

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

They finally renamed minetest?

[–] kittenzrulz123@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

On a technical level luanti is pretty good, it is however completely not fun to play. Its not just that's it's not feature rich it feels off, the controls feel floaty and unresponsive while the gameplay is just overall not enjoyable.

Even with Mineclone? They really have tried to stick as close to Minecraft as possible for that one. Although maybe your problem is more with the feel of the engine

[–] kittenzrulz123@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Even with mineclone, the problem is that it tries (and fails) to desperately replicate minecraft. It doesnt improve upon the concept, it doesnt do anything new, it doesnt have its own identity, the only good thing about the game is the code but you dont play code. The entire gameplay is for the most part just working on the codebase.

Meanwhile Hytale is an actural game that you actually play and then enjoy, not a minecraft clone but foss an (admittedly only partially source available)

Does anyone know what happened to the hexbear minecraft server? I vaguely remember it disappearing the moment I had some time to play.

[–] edie@lemmy.encryptionin.space 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Which one? Of the two recent modded ones, people weren't playing on it.

Wasn't there a vanilla one?

[–] edie@lemmy.encryptionin.space 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Before these two there was a vanilla one that got griefed. Then if we go back two years there was a modded one. And then I think there was a vanilla one at some point before then?

I may be thinking of the griefed one, then. Guess people were even less inclined to play on that one.

[–] ClimateStalin@hexbear.net 1 points 2 days ago

We’ve gone through a couple, I ran a modded one for a while but it went months without anyone using it so eventually I shut it down. I still have the discord channel which I’d be happy to hand control over to someone either for another one or for something similar.

[–] kittenzrulz123@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago

Idk, it might exist or maybe not. Tbh I don't really care either way.

[–] average@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I’m definitely intrigued. I’ve never played it, but seems like something I might enjoy.

What is the deal with it being “early access”? Seems like it’s been around for a while, no?

[–] kittenzrulz123@hexbear.net 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That means the game isn't finished, singeplayer hasn't fully released and the game is constantly changing.

[–] average@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Gotcha, okay, I guess I’m just gun shy when it comes to early access. I’m not a star citizen donor, but my brain always draws a comparison.

[–] kittenzrulz123@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The game is 100% playable and enjoyable right now, at least the basics are.

[–] LoveSupreme@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

Hytale Hall?

[–] orlando@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

does hytale have anything like create in it?

[–] kittenzrulz123@hexbear.net 1 points 2 days ago

No but they have the devs behind the create mod

[–] RondoRevolution@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That would be cool! I haven't played Hytale in a while, but I loved what I played and it would be nice to have a Hexbear server.

[–] kittenzrulz123@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Chapter 1 is releasing very soon and update 6 is coming out, meanwhile worldgen v2 is only a couple of months away. The server would be early access until worldgen v2, I made this post in advance to see if there is any interest.

I'll give it a shot
