Caravan Traders

Caravan Traders

Caravan Traders adds a physical, inventory-based currency system to Hytale, along with a new Caravan Trader NPC.

Money is not an abstract number hidden behind a command. It is something you carry, store, trade with other players and potentially lose.

This mod exists to cover the currently incomplete trade mechanics of Hytale Early Access. As the game stabilizes, the mod is designed to grow alongside it with its own complementary features.

Core Features

Physical Currency

Silver and Gold exist as real inventory items

Fully tradable with Caravan Traders and other players

Wealth takes space and can be lost on death

Caravan Trader NPC

Uses the Hytale’s default barter UI

Buys junk, surplus, and unwanted items

Sells useful goods for travel, survival, and emergencies

Trading is convenience-focused, not a profit loop

Merchant Beacon

Craftable at the default Workbench (Tools tab)

One-time-use item that emits light powered by life essence and a smoke signal

Spawns a Caravan Trader at your chosen location

After use, it turns into a weak melee weapon instead of disappearing completely

Design Intent

Trade should feel grounded and material

Selling junk clears inventory space and provides small returns

Buying emergency items is intentionally expensive

The Caravan exists to help when you are unlucky, short on time, or far from home

Coming Soon

Additional currencies and exchange systems

Different traders specializing in different types of goods

Unique and rare items available through Caravans

Caravan NPC's are planned to feel more alive
