Better Modlist

by Buuz135

Featured utility

Better Modlist is a utility mod for Hytale that replaces the default mod list with a cleaner, more functional interface. Features include a search bar, logo support for mods, and clear distinction between community mods and official asset packs.

As you start adding mods to Hytale, keeping track of what’s installed becomes increasingly difficult. The default mod list is functional but basic. Better Modlist provides a cleaner, more organized interface to manage all your mods and asset packs.

Better Modlist Interface

What Does Better Modlist Do?

Better Modlist replaces the game’s default mod list screen with an enhanced version. It’s a quality-of-life improvement that makes mod management more intuitive—especially useful when you have dozens of mods installed.

Key Features

Search Functionality

The most practical addition is the search bar. Instead of scrolling through a long list of mods, just type a few characters to filter and find exactly what you’re looking for.

Mod & Asset Pack Support

Better Modlist clearly distinguishes between:

  • Community Mods — Third-party modifications
  • Official Asset Packs — Hytale’s built-in content modules

This separation helps you understand what’s modded versus what’s part of the base game.

Logo Support

Mods can display their own logos in the list, making it easier to visually identify them. If you’re a mod developer, you can add your logo by placing a .png file in:

Common/UI/Custom/AuthorName_ModName.png

For example, this mod uses Common/UI/Custom/Buuz135_BetterModlist.png.

Logo Support

The recommended logo size is 96x96 pixels, but the mod will automatically scale images to fit.

Cleaner Visual Design

The interface is simply more polished than the default. Mods are displayed in a compact, organized layout that’s easier to scan at a glance.

How to Use

  1. Install the mod (see Installation tab)
  2. Open the mod list with the /modlist command
  3. Use the search bar to filter mods
  4. Browse your installed mods and asset packs

Who Is This Mod For?

Better Modlist is ideal for:

  • Players who use multiple mods and want easier management
  • Server administrators checking which mods are active
  • Mod developers who want their mods to display nicely
  • Anyone who appreciates quality-of-life improvements

You might not need this if:

  • You only use one or two mods
  • You prefer the vanilla experience

For Mod Developers

If you want your mod to show a custom logo:

  1. Create a 96x96 PNG image of your logo
  2. Place it at: Common/UI/Custom/YourName_YourMod.png
  3. The naming format is Group_Name.png from your mod’s manifest
  4. Better Modlist will automatically detect and display it

Developer Setup
