The Ultimate Hytale Experience.
Access the game your way. Managing servers, mods, and friends has never been this smooth.
Butter Launcher isn't just a tool to open the game; it's a complete ecosystem designed to replace the need for file managers, external chat apps, and confusing server setups.
Built with Electron, React, and Vite, we offer a unified experience for both Official Account users and those preferring Offline/Local Mode (ensuring flexibility for every type of player).
