Hytale Editions & Cosmetics - Complete Guide

Hypixel Studios has revealed the cosmetic sets included in Hytale's early access editions. Three editions are available - Standard, Supporter, and Cursebreaker - each offering exclusive avatar cosmetic sets and capes.

Edition Overview

Hytale offers three early access editions, each building on the previous tier:

Standard Edition ($19.99) - Base game + 2 cosmetic sets
Supporter Edition ($34.99) - Everything in Standard + 3 additional sets
Cursebreaker Edition ($69.99) - Everything in Supporter + 3 premium sets

Cumulative Content System

Higher-tier editions include all content from lower tiers. Purchasing Cursebreaker Edition gives you everything from Standard and Supporter editions automatically.

Example Breakdown:

• Standard: 2 sets
• Supporter: 2 sets (Standard) + 3 sets (Supporter) = 5 total sets
• Cursebreaker: 5 sets (previous tiers) + 3 sets (Cursebreaker) = 8 total sets

This system rewards higher-tier purchases while keeping the upgrade path straightforward.

Cape Features

Animated: Capes feature motion and physics-based movement

Mix and Match: Capes can be combined with any cosmetic pieces
Persistent: Keep your capes permanently even after editions are unavailable

Capes are visible to all players regardless of whether they have the cosmetic mods installed, as they're official game content.

Customization System

Hytale's cosmetic system allows complete mixing and matching of pieces across all sets you own.

Mix and Match Freedom

Cross-Set Compatibility: Use pieces from different sets together
Individual Pieces: Equip helmet from one set, chest from another
Personal Style: Create unique combinations that define your character
No Restrictions: All cosmetic pieces are compatible with each other

Example: Wear Forest Guardian helmet with Void Hero chest armor and Arctic Scout boots, then add a Cursebreaker cape.

This flexibility means higher-tier editions don't just provide more sets - they provide exponentially more possible combinations.

Cosmetics in Multiplayer

On servers like Guilds, your cosmetics are visible to all players by default since they're official game content.

Server Cosmetic Policies

Official Cosmetics: Always visible to all players
Modded Cosmetics: Only visible to players with matching mods
Server Overrides: Third-party servers can theme-match cosmetics for their setting

Guilds will support official cosmetics fully while allowing players to showcase their edition purchases and unique style combinations.

Competitive Advantage?

No Pay-to-Win: Cosmetics provide zero gameplay advantages
Visual Only: All edition content is purely aesthetic
Fair Competition: Standard Edition players have identical combat capabilities

Your edition choice affects appearance, not performance. PvP skill determines winners, not cosmetic tier.
