Hylterium update — labyrinth map, Skyblock rework, new tutorial and more

Hello everyone,

A new update has been deployed on Hylterium, bringing new features, quality-of-life improvements, and several fixes to both servers.

Coming with this update: a map for the Labyrinth of Horrors, a Skyblock interface rework, new island permissions, improved quest navigation, revamped dungeon statistics, and an even more challenging World Boss!

Here are all the changes deployed since yesterday afternoon.

Halloween — Labyrinth of Horrors

Following your feedback, we've made several improvements to the Labyrinth of Horrors to make exploration easier and the event more enjoyable.

New labyrinth map

• Added a mini-map in the top-left corner that gradually reveals itself as you explore.
• Your current floor is displayed in bright colors, while other floors appear faded.
• Unexplored passages are now marked on the map.
• Hytale's regular map (M) also works inside the labyrinth, including markers and other players' positions.

Treasure rooms and rewards

• Added a large golden royal chest inside treasure rooms, with glowing effects until it has been claimed.
• During the last 20 minutes of the event, an arrow will guide you toward your area's treasure room.
• The HUD now distinguishes between candy you can still lose and tickets already secured with the Guardian Pumpkin.
• Added a tutorial step explaining lives, candy loss, and how to secure your rewards.
• Loot, chest, and pickup notifications now appear directly in the HUD instead of the chat.
• A global announcement is now sent when a player discovers the Great Jack.

Fixes

• Fixed the Guardian Pumpkin sometimes becoming unresponsive or appearing twice.
• Fixed ghost items remaining on the ground.
• Fixed candy appearing inside the labyrinth lobby.

Quests — Improved navigation

• The particle trail no longer goes through walls and now navigates around obstacles.
• Navigation now takes doors, stairs, and small obstacles into account.
• Added golden chevron particles on the ground to better indicate the direction.
• Increased the quest navigation activation distance from 96 to 500 blocks.
• The system can now guide players between floating islands using an arched particle path.
• When flying over the void, the last calculated path remains available.

Dungeons — New interfaces and statistics

Several dungeon interfaces have been reworked to better match Hylterium's visual identity.

• Reworked the dungeon key shop interface.
• Reworked the /donjon codex.
• Reworked the fusion workbench interface.

/dungeonstats rework

The dungeon statistics system has received a major update.

You can now view:

• An overview of your dungeon runs, success rate, and total time spent in dungeons.
• Statistics for bosses, monsters defeated, and chests opened.
• Charts showing your last 24 dungeon runs.
• Your favorite dungeons and most frequently defeated creatures.
• An interactive run history showing each player's damage contribution.
• Your personal records for each dungeon.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where a Dungeon 04 instance could freeze and disconnect everyone inside.

World Boss and events

The MMORPG World Boss has received new balancing adjustments to make fights more challenging and engaging, especially for larger groups.

World Boss adjustments

• Fixed attack indicators so they now appear in front of the boss and in the correct direction.
• Increased the range of sweeps, shockwaves, meteors, and eruptions.
• Flames now appear starting in the first phase.
• Added a new attack: the boss throws a molten rock at every player standing more than 13 blocks away.
• Added a new flamethrower attack that can set players on fire.
• Increased the boss's movement speed.
• Slightly adjusted the delay between attacks to give players more opportunities to react.

Event fixes

• Fixed the Flying Merchant, which now properly appears with his ship.
• Improved the reliability of the Piñata and Treasure Hunt events.

Skyblock — Interface and permissions rework

Skyblock has also received a major update to its island management system.

/is rework

• Completely redesigned the main island interface.
• Added a new sidebar and quick actions.
• Improved the display of your progression, leaderboard, and online members.
• Reworked the different pages: cobble generator, points, rankings, members, visits, and settings.

New per-member permissions

You can now configure permissions individually for each member of your island.

A total of 15 permissions are available, including:

• Placing and breaking blocks.
• Harvesting resources.
• Using containers and buckets.
• Picking up items.
• Interacting with animals.
• Using fly and cobble generators.
• Inviting, removing, or kicking members.
• Changing the island spawn and managing island points.

These permissions are available under My Island > Permissions, or directly through the Permissions button on a member's profile.

Existing members will keep their current permissions after this update.

Skyblock fixes

• Fixed an issue introduced with Update 7 that could cause some islands to be only partially generated.

New Hylterium tutorial

We've also added a brand-new tutorial to make it easier for new players to get started on Hylterium.

• Added 18 chapters explaining the different server systems.
• Available in French, English, and Spanish.
• Added real in-game screenshots to illustrate the explanations.
• The tutorial automatically opens on your first connection, after selecting your language.
• You can reopen it anytime using /tutoriel.

Improved item statistics

Equipment descriptions have been reworked to help you better understand their actual stats.

• Weapons: damage and special attacks are now displayed.
• Armor: protection and health bonuses are now displayed.
• Tools: harvesting power is now displayed.
• All equipment: durability and quality bonuses are now displayed.

For example, a legendary weapon can now directly show its +100% damage bonus.

This information is also displayed in the player's selected language.

Other optimizations and fixes

• Optimized performance during large harvests, especially during the Vegetable Race.
• Optimized the automatic announcement system to reduce server lag.
• Fixed an issue that prevented some players from joining the Hub late in the evening.
• Cleaned up the in-game wiki so it no longer displays unavailable commands.

Hylterium website

We're continuing to improve our website to bring all important server information together in one place.

• Added global search, accessible with Ctrl + K.
• Search now allows you to quickly find information across the wiki, guides, dungeons, events, and news.
• Guides are now available in the Community section of the website.
