How to Import 3D Objects/Images to a Hytale Server

Hytale gives Creative Mode players some seriously powerful tools, including the ability to import custom 3D objects and images directly into the world. These files are converted into blocks, letting you build things that would be nearly impossible by hand, like massive statues, detailed structures, or pixel-perfect images.

As long as you’re running a Hytale server and have access to Creative tools, you can import your own files and place them anywhere in the world.

Requirements:

Before getting started, make sure:

• Your server is online.

• You are connected to the server.

• You are in Creative Mode.

Import tools are only available while in Creative Mode.

Note: Imports do not currently work on the pre-release version of Hytale. ⚠️
