Hytale Mods Not Loading: Fix Common Mod Issues

Mods that do not load are almost always caused by missing manifests, incorrect folder placement, or version mismatches. Use the checks below before wiping the server.

Quick Checks

Check Why It Fails Fix
mods/ folder Mod directory missing or wrong path Place mods under server/mods/
mod.json Missing or invalid manifest Validate mod.json and entry point
Version mismatch Mod built for a different game version Update mod or pin the server version
Dependencies missing Required library not installed Install dependencies from the mod page

Step-by-Step Fix

  1. Check folder layout. Mods must live in server/mods/ with their own folder and a mod.json file. See Lua Modding 101.
  2. Validate mod.json. Ensure the id, version, and entry fields are present and spelled correctly.
  3. Restart or reload. Use /mod reload or restart the server after changes.
  4. Check logs. Look for mod errors in logs/hytale-server.log.
  5. Resolve conflicts. If two mods fight, see Mod Compatibility Issues.

Example mod.json

{
    "id": "com.example.helloworld",
    "name": "Hello World Mod",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "entry": "main.lua"
}

Tip: When using CurseForge packs, confirm every dependency is installed. Missing a single dependency can prevent the entire pack from loading.

Keep your server moddable. Host your Hytale server with Supercraft for easy file access and mod management.
