BETTER TRAP is available now!
This mod significantly expands Hytale’s trap system by introducing deeper trap mechanics, specialized crafting stations, and an advanced material progression system — all while relying exclusively on resources already present in the game world (wood, copper, iron, silver, thorium, and more).All traps are crafted using the Trap’s Workbench, a dedicated station obtainable early on from the basic workbench. Acting as the core of the mod, it centralizes trap crafting and also provides access to Blueprints, allowing players to craft specialized stations directly without returning to the basic workbench.
Each trap is designed with its own identity, crafting logic, and balanced statistics, with a strong focus on impactful damage when triggered and strategic placement.
The mod currently features six different bear traps, all fully craftable in-game. Each variant uses distinct materials, creating a natural and satisfying progression from basic traps to advanced, high-damage designs.
Advanced Crafting & Materials
Silver Ore plays a key role in mid-tier trap crafting. Mining silver ore yields Silver Dust, an intermediate resource that must be processed using the Trap’s Furnace — a specialized furnace dedicated exclusively to smelting materials required for trap creation. This process produces Silver Thorns, a crucial component used in advanced traps such as the Silver Bear Trap.For late-game progression, the mod introduces Thorium-based materials. Using the Trap’s Anvil, players can craft advanced Thorium variants:
- Thoryx, a heavy and durable Thorium derivative
- Thori, an extremely heavy and highly durable variant with a very limited stack size
Designed to integrate seamlessly into Hytale’s core experience, BETTER TRAP focuses on making traps more tactical, rewarding, and impactful — ideal for players who enjoy controlling the battlefield with precision, preparation, and foresight.
