Privacy & live runs

Your website account stores its account identifier and email, if shared. Secure sign-in cookies keep you logged in. Your sign-in credentials are handled by the account service and are not published. Optional run tracking is a separate choice below.

What is sent during a run?

  • Your connected Hytale player UUID and name; run and world identifiers, game version, category and solo or co-op mode.
  • Run times, timestamped milestones and game events; damage dealt and taken by damage type.
  • Equipped item IDs, slots, quantities and changes with their capture times; loaded plugin and asset-pack IDs and versions.

The mod temporarily buffers run data and sends updates every 5 seconds and when events occur in the Goblin breach.

Your player name, avatar, run progress, times, events, damage, equipment, mod versions and plausibility assessment can appear publicly in live previews and leaderboards. Private world identifiers are not published.

Run updates contain no chat messages, unequipped inventory, player positions, world files, local file paths or raw Hytale login tokens.

Connecting a Hytale profile separately shares its player UUID, name and cosmetic appearance for a public avatar. This run-data choice does not replace that connection confirmation or your separate Twitch visibility setting.

Read the full privacy notice

You can change this choice in Account → Privacy. Disabling stops further run transmission and withdraws public detailed telemetry and official ranking eligibility for affected runs. Enabling again requires a new run.

The features we’re building for the hunt.

Behind the project

Built with good tools.

Our API runs on Go, with Node.js and TypeScript powering the backend. These tools and community projects make it possible.

  • The game & its assets

    Hytale

    Provides the game, character models, textures and animations behind the mod and our player avatars, plus original Hytale artwork.

  • Website framework

    Astro

    Builds our pages and shared layouts, with browser scripts for live leaderboards, account controls and interactive views.

  • Accounts & sign-in

    Ory Kratos

    Handles registration, sign-in, identities and browser sessions. Account authentication stays separate from your connected game profiles.

  • Backend services

    Node.js

    Runs our TypeScript backend services for profiles, teams, runs, achievements, telemetry and avatar processing.

  • Data storage

    PostgreSQL

    Stores linked game profiles, teams, runs and telemetry. Ory Kratos uses its own separate PostgreSQL database for identities and sessions.

  • Avatar generation

    BlockyModel Merger

    The blockymerge tool combines player cosmetics into 3D models; blockyrender creates the matching portrait images on our server.

  • Avatar animations

    Hytale Skin Viewer

    Displays our generated 3D avatars and plays Hytale character animations, including emotes and facial expressions.

  • 3D rendering

    Three.js

    Renders avatars in the browser through WebGL, powering their cameras, lighting and interactive movement.

Thank you to the developers and artists behind these tools. The GitHub-marked cards link to the avatar projects we use. Hytale artwork and game assets belong to their respective owners.
