Hytale Modder Runs Windows 95 in Sandbox Game

Summary A modder ran Windows 95 inside Hytale within a week of early access. Mods let you play Hytale inside Hytale, and Doom has already been run in-game. The same modder is syncing Minecraft and Hytale servers: fluids, time, animations, and cross-game player hits work. Whenever there's a sandbox game, there are people who want to mod said sandbox game. Whenever people get together to mod a sandbox game, they start adding things the game was never properly programmed to handle. And if they manage to succeed, we begin seeing some truly amazing things. We saw it play out with Minecraft. It began as a simple block-placing exploration game, and now people are running miniature servers on smart bulb chips. And with the early access release of Hytale, a sandbox block game that people thought had withered away during development, modders have begun sinking their teeth into it. And boy, have they got results. Someone got Windows 95 running in Hytale within a week of its early access release People are working fast with this title As spotted by Tom's Hardware, this amazing feat was performed by iamcxv711 on X and boosted by HytaleModding. It shows someone seemingly running a copy of Windows 95 within Hytale, including navigating the menus and using apps. And while it's not the most buttery smooth version of Windows 95 I've ever seen, it is running in a block-based sandbox indie game, so I'm definitely going to cut it some slack. That's not all that iamcxv711 got up to, though. In the replies to the post, HytaleModding also highlights a mod that allowed people to...play Hytale in Hytale. And in response to the inevitable requests for someone to get Doom running inside the game, the account pointed out that it has already been done. Remember, this game only just left early access on January 13th. Modders are simply something else. Despite already doing some really cool tricks with Hytale, iamcxv711 doesn't seem like they're slacking anytime soon. Taking a peek at their X page, it seems they're currently hard at work making a system that will sync Minecraft and Hytale servers into one. It seems they've already got fluids, world time, and animations syncing, and their latest feat lets you smack players who are playing the other game. Seems like the debate over which game is better is about to cause some in-game fighting.
