STARBLIGHT

!!! For this Mod to Work properly, you also need to download and activate the Starblight Plugin Mod !!!

Starblight adds three custom realms to Hytale — each with its own terrain, creatures, bosses and secrets — and a cosmic invasion that follows you home from them. Every realm is a world of its own, and every one of them has something in it that was not meant to be disturbed.

Reaching the Realms

All three realms are reached the same way. At a Workbench, craft an Ancient Gateway and the Fragment for the realm you want, then use the Fragment on the Gateway:

• Fragment: Ancient Roots
• Fragment: Painted Desert
• Fragment: Frozen Peaks

Realms are persistent. Once you have stepped through, the gateway stays open and every trip returns you to the same world — your builds, your mines and your ruins exactly where you left them.

Ancient Roots

Deep beneath the world, the roots of an ancient World Tree have broken through the earth. What was once a place of balance and life is now a dense, overgrown forest of giant roots, thick vines, forgotten ruins and aggressive plants. The forest is still beautiful, but something is wrong. The harmony of this place has been disturbed.

Explore massive root walls, tangled paths, hidden clearings, ancient statues and strange plant life. Some creatures defend the forest with violence. Others are small, curious and playful.

The Guardian

At the heart of the Ancient Roots waits a powerful forest guardian. Once it protected the balance of the biome; now it has been corrupted, its roots and ancient strength turned against the world it was meant to protect. Prepare accordingly, and head below the roots of the World Tree to face it.

The Cosmic Invasion

When the Guardian falls, the sky changes.

Cosmic Obelisks begin to appear across the biome. These alien structures corrupt the land around them, transforming natural blocks into cosmic blocks, and from those corrupted areas new enemies emerge. The invasion spreads block by block — left alone, the Ancient Roots will slowly be consumed by alien energy.

Destroy the Obelisks. Fight back the corruption. Prepare for the arrival of the first Commander.

The Painted Desert

A vast landscape of coloured sand, layered canyons, towering mesas and strange crystal formations. Broad regions of violet, indigo, pale blue, pink, orange, yellow and mint sand flow across the terrain, forming dunes, exposed sandstone layers, deep valleys and winding canyon walls.

The Sun protector

Summon it inside the Painted Desert by building a three-block column: Ornate Sandstone Brick — Bleak Crystal Core — Ornate Sandstone Brick.

The Frozen Peaks

Above the cloud line the world runs out of soil. What is left is stone, ice and wind — a range so tall its basins sit higher than most mountains, holding things that froze long before anyone came looking for them. Nothing here is hostile on purpose. It simply does not make room for you.

Climb through sheltered snow basins and fir forest, bare slopes, terraced plateaus, glaciers, and the deep rifts that split them, hung with icicles and filled with fog. The wind never stops, and it gusts hard enough to move you — finding shelter is part of climbing.

Mammoth herds and bison graze the low basins, mouflon pick along the summits, and snow leopards and polar bears hunt the ground between. Caves run with ore and pale mushrooms. Out on open rock stand obelisks, ice spikes and the bones of something enormous that never made it back down. Frost patrols sweep the treeline, Trork warbands hold the dens, and an alpha guards its own.

Class Stats

Starblight adds five character stats that let you specialise your build. Stats come mainly from armour and equipment, with certain items and rewards providing more.

Strength increases the power of melee weapons and Bruiser abilities.
Fortitude increases the power of Tank abilities and defensive effects.
Precision increases ranged weapon damage and scales Ranger abilities.
Arcane increases the power of magical weapons, spells, and Mage abilities.
Holy increases healing, buffs, and other Support effects.

Your class is not locked or selected. The equipment and stats you choose determine your playstyle, allowing you to specialize in one role or experiment with hybrid builds.

You can view your current stats at any time by using:
