A passing glance will tell you there’s a lot of Minecraft DNA in Hytale, so much so that it only took a week for a modder to cobble together functional crossplay between the two games. Minecraft developer Mojang certainly seems aware of the resemblance: In a post on Bluesky, lead Minecraft designer and Mojang CCO…
