While Hytale already features teasers for powerful endgame equipment crafted from Mithril, the elusive ore remains impossible to obtain through legitimate survival gameplay—for now, it is reserved strictly for those tinkering in creative mode. However, the developers at Hypixel are currently cooking up ambitious plans for late-game resource gathering, suggesting that Mithril mining will be far more complex than simply swinging a pickaxe at a wall.
“We have some exciting concepts in mind for Mithril,” Hypixel co-founder Simon Collins-Laflamme recently revealed on X (formerly Twitter). He hinted at a departure from traditional mechanics, noting, “Let’s just say it won’t be as straightforward to extract as the other ores!” Following up on coverage from PC Gamer, Collins-Laflamme provided even more context regarding the studio’s vision.
“Our goal is to deepen the mining experience as players reach the final stages of progression,” he explained, specifically thanking popular creator Necrit94 for sharing insightful “suggestions in DMs.” While the specifics of these mechanics remain under wraps, the interaction suggests a more tactical or hazardous mining process for top-tier materials.

Although it might take some time for these advanced mining systems to fully materialize, Hypixel has already demonstrated an impressive pace for content updates. The dinosaur expansion, for instance, arrived just days after the game’s initial debut. It’s clear that the developers are leaning heavily into community feedback to refine the long-awaited sandbox RPG as it evolves.
