When Hytale first came out, I spun up a little series called Into the Breach (because I was jumping into known and unknown danger and risk).  The purpose of that series was to explore the Hytale phenomenon and I have enjoyed it very much.  However, Hytale is rather unique in that it has a solid and very active modding community immediately at release.  In fact, it was pumping out mods even before the game was publicly available.

Normally, I would play the vanilla version all the way through and maybe well beyond that before I would explore the modded options, but this situation is unique and I wanted to explore the mods sooner rather than later.   This then presents an interesting opportunity where I can spin up two series: modded and vanilla… and run them in the same seed… and this would allow us to compare them in an “apples to apples” kind of way… so that is what we are doing here.
