Hytale has made a significant impact since its Early Access launch on January 13, 2026, quickly capturing the attention of gamers and modders alike. The RPG title has seen a remarkable surge in activity, with over 2 million mod downloads within just 72 hours and a plethora of custom packs emerging in the days that followed. Among the most impressive feats achieved by the community is the ability of one young developer to run both Windows 95 and classic Minecraft within the Hytale environment.
Hytale fan runs fully functioning instance of Windows 95 and classic Minecraft inside the game
A 15-year-old developer, known as @iamcxv711 on X, has showcased extraordinary talent by successfully running a fully functioning instance of Windows 95 inside Hytale. This achievement not only highlights the game’s modding capabilities but also reinforces the developers’ commitment to creating a mod-compliant platform from the outset.
In an impressive display of creativity, the young developer also managed to run Hytale within Hytale itself, alongside the classic version of Minecraft (0.30), utilizing a software renderer. This remarkable feat was accomplished through map pixel data manipulation, without relying on external assets or placeholders. Such accomplishments underscore the incredible potential of the modding community and the compatibility of Hytale’s architecture.
The original post by the @HytaleModding account on X received a warm response from one of the game’s developers, who celebrated the modding-friendly nature of Hytale. The game’s unique mod deployment methods, combined with integration options for popular asset management tools like Blockbench, have made it easier for creators to develop and share their assets.
As Hytale continues to gain traction, the gaming community can anticipate an influx of modders eager to expand the repository of available packs. The official partnership with CurseForge further simplifies the process for creators and players, facilitating seamless integration of user-generated content into the game.
