Due to the game being in Early Access you should first off expect a lot of bugs, as the pop-up before purchasing also states, the content may also differ from the final version of the game. See a list of what you can expect when Hytale launches in Early Access below:

Exploration Mode – Players will be able to play through the game’s survival mode, it’s expected that players can progress in the first zone with more zones being added throughout development.

Creative Mode – The mode where players can have infinite resources and do almost anything their imagination can dream of will also be available. In addition to placing materials / blocks one-by-one there are a number of brush presets that can be adjusted to the player’s needs.

Modding & Creative Tools – Modders, Server Owners, and Creators will be able to use these in-game tools to create anything their heart desires. They will also be able to run their own servers.

Gliders – A very early version of the glider will be made available in Early Access which players can use to help navigate across the world. It’s unclear if the Glider uses Stamina at this time.
