Modern Mining

Modern Mining adds a full tiered drill progression system to Hytale, built for players who want faster, cleaner, and more satisfying mining without losing control over where they dig.

Start with a simple Tier 1 drill and upgrade all the way to a powerful Tier 5 legendary drill. Higher tiers unlock larger mining areas, faster digging speeds, bigger fuel capacity, and better overall mining performance.
