Simon from Hypixel recently announced a configurable armor-hiding in Hytale, addressing player feedback for better customization and immersion.
The Armor-Hide Announcement
That X post from January 19, 2026, confirms players will be able to hide all armor slots, set via server config. Initially limited to helmets due to immersion concerns, community input expanded it fully. Servers control toggles, potentially enforcing visibility in PvP for balance.
Equipped armor overrides outfits currently, forcing style-protection trade-offs.
Hiding keeps stats active while showing clothes, boosting roleplay and builds. The Hytale Update 2 will roll out soon with avatar presets, tooltips, and markers—polishing early access visuals. Additionally, server admins gain flexibility, which is vital for custom worlds.
Hytale thrives post-rescue, with Simon’s updates fueling momentum. Armor hiding exemplifies responsive development, blending player wishes with smart limits. Expect steady patches building toward full release.
