Duntale is a Hytale dungeon-crawling RPG focused on repeatable runs that start in a shared village and branch into procedurally generated dungeon floors. Players choose a companion, head out solo or in parties of up to six, fight floor-scaled enemies, collect loot, earn gold and XP, spend stat points, trade with dungeon merchants, and push deeper floors through a persistent run and re-entry loop.
To run Duntale in Hytale, install these runtime dependencies in your client Mods folder:
- Duntale.jar from the latest Duntale release.
- DungeonGen.jar from the latest DungeonGen release.
- DynamicTooltipsLib.jar.
Install them with this flow:
- Open the Hytale launcher and set the patchline to
pre-release. - Update Hytale to the latest available
pre-releasebuild. - Open the Hytale Mods folder.
- On Windows, the default path is
C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Roaming\Hytale\data\pre-release\Modsor%appdata%\Hytale\data\pre-release\Mods. - Copy the latest
Duntale.jar,DungeonGen.jar, andDynamicTooltipsLib.jarinto that Mods folder. - Restart the Hytale client.
- Create a new Creative world.
- Before confirming world creation, click the settings gear, open the Mods tab, and enable the Duntale mod.
- Apply the settings and finish creating the world.
When Duntale is enabled, Hytale should automatically enable DungeonGen and DynamicTooltipsLib because they are declared as dependencies.
