Overview
- New footage shows a Minecraft and a Hytale client sharing the same space with mirrored movement and block placement, synced time of day, cross‑game chat, and early animation and combat support.
- Creator iamcxv711 describes the project as a proof of concept with many limitations, including Hytale hosting authority and restricted actions for Minecraft clients, with shared world generation still a key hurdle.
- The modder, identified in reports as 15‑year‑old Sadat Sahib from Bangladesh, previously demonstrated Windows 95, Doom, classic Minecraft, and even Hytale running inside Hytale.
- Sahib says the bridge relies on “packet trickery,” running a Minecraft server inside Hytale’s JVM, mapping coordinates, and reconstructing world snapshots, with most heavy lifting occurring server‑side rather than in the Hytale client.
- Hypixel leaders have publicly acknowledged the feats, and coverage notes Hytale’s rapid early access momentum with reported millions of players and thousands of mods already cataloged on CurseForge.
