+        Official launcher for Hytale, an upcoming block-based game from Hypixel Studios.
+
+        NOTE: This package is a simply a script which downloads and installs
+        the Hytale launcher flatpak at *runtime*. From the first install, the
+        launcher version is managed entirely by the Hytale launcher itself,
+        meaning this package is **not reproducible**.
+
+        See discussions on [this pull request](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/479368)
+        for more context on why this method was chosen.
