A persistent world map with cave mapping — the map Hytale should have shipped with.
BetterMap rebuilds Hytale's world map into something that remembers where you have been. The base game's map resets what it knows more readily than most players expect; BetterMap keeps it.
WHAT IT ADDS
A persistent map that retains explored terrain across sessions, a separate cave map layer for underground navigation, improved zoom and panning, and clearer marking of points of interest. Exploration you have already done stays done.
It is one of the most-downloaded mods on CurseForge's Hytale section, which opened alongside the game's early access launch in January 2026 and passed a thousand mods within weeks.
Around 870,000 downloads on CurseForge as of August 2026.

REQUIRES
Hytale early access, build 0.5 or compatible. Hytale's modding API is still moving — a mod built for one early access build may not load on the next.
CLIENT AND SERVER
Client-side for the map itself. On a server, all players wanting the shared behaviour need their own copy.
CONFLICTS WITH
Other map replacements.
NOTE ON EARLY ACCESS
Hytale is in active early access and mods for it break more often than in a settled game. Check the mod's CurseForge page against your game build before reporting a problem.
Installation
THROUGH THE CURSEFORGE APP (recommended)
Find the mod on CurseForge and click Install. The app places it and keeps it updated as new Hytale builds land.
MANUAL
1. Download the mod archive from its CurseForge page.
2. Place it in your Hytale mods folder.
3. Launch the game and confirm the mod is listed as loaded.
Because Hytale is in early access, always check that the mod version targets your game build — a mismatch will usually fail to load rather than misbehave quietly.
This release downloads from curseforge.com, not from us, so
there is no checksum to compare against. Scan the archive before you unpack it.
