Werewolf Mod

Werewolf Mod

Hunt or be hunted — fight werewolves in the wild, risk a deadly bite, and transform into a beast every midnight unless you brew a cure in time.

Overview

This mod adds a lycanthropy curse system to Hytale. Werewolves and wolves roaming the world can infect you with a single bite. Once cursed, you have 30 minutes to craft a Wolfsbane Cure potion — or face transformation into a werewolf every night.

Wolfsbane Cure

Gameplay Flow

1. Explore the world and encounter werewolves at night or wolves during the day
2. Get bitten — a purple overlay flashes and a curse icon appears with a 30-minute countdown
3. Find ingredients and craft a Wolfsbane Cure at an Alchemist's Workbench before time runs out
4. If you fail to cure yourself, you transform into a werewolf at midnight
5. As a werewolf: increased damage, abilities unlocked based on stage
6. At dawn you revert to human form — but the curse stays, and you'll transform again the next night
7. The only way to permanently remove the curse is the Wolfsbane Cure potion

---

Player Data

• Curse state is saved per player UUID in a JSON file
• Data persists across server restarts
• Server restart resets visual effects (model, status icons) but curse state is preserved

---

Known Issues

• Weapons & armor while transformed — The player can still equip weapons and armor in werewolf form. This is a game engine limitation and cannot be disabled at this time.
