What to know

  • Avatar customization is accessed from the main menu under My Avatar, not during normal gameplay.​
  • You can change skin tone, face shape, hairstyle, clothing, and body type in separate sections of the editor.​
  • Changes are only applied when you click Save; until then, they’re just a preview.​
  • You can randomize your look or lock certain parts (like hair) while randomizing the rest to keep favorite features.​

Hytale lets you fully customize your character’s appearance before jumping into the world, and you can come back to tweak it later without losing progress. The system is built around a dedicated avatar editor that’s easy to find and use, even if you’re already exploring the game world.​

How to Customize Your Avatar in Hytale

Here's how you can customize your Avatar in Hytale with ease:

Open the Avatar editor

From the main menu, click My Avatar to open the Customize Avatar screen. If you’re already in a world, press Esc to return to the main menu first. You’ll see your character preview on the right and customization categories on the left.

Use randomize and locks

Use Randomize for quick presets, and Lock any parts you want to keep (like hair or face) before randomizing. Undo and Redo let you fine-tune changes easily.

When everything looks right, click Save to apply your avatar. Your new appearance will carry over into all worlds, and you can edit it anytime from My Avatar on the main menu.

What you can customize

  • Head: Face shape, eyes, nose, mouth, eyebrows, facial hair, hairstyle, hair color.​​
  • General / Body: Skin tone, body type (default, muscular, etc.), height/build options.​
  • Clothing / Outfit: Shirts, pants, armor, accessories, and layered clothing items.​​
  • Colors: Multiple color palettes for skin, hair, and clothing, depending on the item.​

When and how often you can change it

  • You can change your avatar at any time from the main menu, even after playing for hours.​
  • Switching looks doesn’t reset your world, inventory, or progress; it only changes how your character looks.​
  • There’s no limit on how many times you can edit and save your avatar, so feel free to experiment.​

Personalizing your Hytale avatar

Customizing your avatar in Hytale is quick and flexible. Just open My Avatar from the main menu, adjust your face, body, skin tone, and outfit, then hit Save. You can revisit the editor anytime, so feel free to experiment and refine your look until it perfectly matches the character you want to play.
