probably SetBlockSettings flag.

[lucid spire]

yup just found it

[finite vault]

what is wild, if i place/break a block next to it. all of sudden it's block reference comes back 💀

but yeah if anyone could tell me how they are updating there block state, that'd be awesome cause something is wrong with how im doing it

[low mortar]

unless I stumbled on your repo. hydrodynamics on github. latest commit has an example in PipeFlowUpdateSystem

[finite vault]

you mind dming a link to the repo?

or telling me the org/user name so i can find it haha

[low mortar]

KarolexDev/Hydrodynamics

their only repo

[timid trout]

nop 🙁

[finite vault]

damn, same thing as I'm doing...

[timid trout]

I actually tried setCancelled(true) first. The problem is that it preserves the block's 'cracked' state (visual damage) at 100%. So, if I hit the block again immediately after, the event fires instantly because the breaking progress isn't reset to 0. That’s why I'm currently replacing the block to force that reset. Is there a specific method to reset the block damage progress alongside cancelling the event?

[finite vault]

I think the reason they're not runnning into the same issue, is because they are cascadding other block updates around it, which if I do that in game, it brings back the blockRef

but like,that cannot be normal behaviour

[sonic peak]

Looking for some pointers please: If I have a Block x,y,z and look up it's Interactions (a lamp for example with Use) can I trigger that programmatically?

[lucid spire]

how do you determine which direction a player is looking at? (UP, DOWN, NORTH, EAST, SOUTH, WEST)

[spare kraken]

Is there a .jar style Mod that allows craftable diving gear? The mods I see involve opening up the assets folder and replacing files, rather than a .jar

[finite vault]

I haven't tested it, but it looks like there is ⁨⁨HeadRotation⁩⁩ Component you can get from the player entity references from the entity store

that has a direction vector on it

[finite crane]

Uh, zips function as mods if you just put them in the mods folder, you don't actually have to edit the base games zip.

[spare kraken]

Unless its coming next patch or whatever

[spare kraken]

Orly? thnx

[finite crane]

You're welcome.

[lucid spire]

ill try that

[last harness]

Hey guys, I'm trying to place a block with rotation using ⁨chunk.setBlock(x, y, z, blockName, rotationIndex)⁩ . The method executes without errors and logs show it's working, but the block doesn't appear in the world. I calculated the rotation index using ⁨RotationTuple.of(Rotation.None, Rotation.TwoSeventy, Rotation.None).index()⁩ which gives me 12. Do I need to call some update method after setting the block in the chunk? Or is there a different way to place blocks with rotation via code?

[finite vault]

you are using the local chunk coords, right?

[last harness]

yeah

Do I need to use global?

[finite vault]

Nah, it's local chunk coords 🤔 try using rotation index 0

and see if it places South (which is what rotation 0 is)

[fringe ether]

which plugins are the best to improve the server performance/fix crashes for 20-30 online survival server?

[last harness]

Okay, I'll try.

[last harness]

Worse than that, it wasn't him spawning.

[finite vault]

and there no errors in the world logs?

[last harness]

Not a single error, the only thing there is is debug.

[finite vault]

was it the ID/blockName? out of curiosity

[bold bear]

What is everyone using to handle player rewards for voting across various Hytale server list sites?

[last harness]

Sorry, I don't think so because in the asset editor it's in NEWS.

I'll just swap the block out of curiosity.

[quartz plover]

You should be able to use nuvotifier with some tweaking, as it's mostly internal networking code than any reliance on minecraft

The platform-specific code it has is mostly for commands, events and other stuff like logging

[last harness]

This happens with all blocks.

[bold bear]

Okay thank you I will check that out. I was trying to use HyVotifier but couldn’t seem to get that working.

[quartz plover]

I didn't know HyVotifier was a thing, I checked it out and seems like a solid project. Was there a specific issue with it or did just not get the votes through? Maybe it's a configuration error

That said, it copies the GPL-3 licensed code of NuVotifier (1-1 copy of some classes) and uses them in a closed-source project

Which is very shady behaviour

[quartz plover]

(Context, the license mentioned here requires uses of said code to be also licensed under the same license, and disclose the source code)

[thorny dew]

I mean, solid chance Claude spit those out as well and the author didn't care

[wary lion]

i made some pretty extensive docs in a wiki format (website coming soon + translations) check out my bio i have lots of examples of basically every api usage. if you find it useful please give the repo a star pls and if you find issues please create an issue report you can fix it yourself or add something to the wiki by creating a pull request

[quartz plover]

I doubt that, there's like 40 classes with a 1-1 matching file tree

[last harness]

ok thanks

[wary lion]

oh someone stole nuvotifier's code thats foul smh didn't even attempt to hide it

[dusky sable]

Does anyone know why my NPC isn't holding an item in their offhand? I can get them to hold items in their right hand and wear armor, but not anything in their offhand.

[wary lion]

honestly im expecting in the upcoming months for people to be stealing an insane amount of minecraft plugins and converting them to work with hytale

[bold bear]

As far as I’m aware I did all of the right configs and matched the correct tokens to the website that is handling the vote for the V2 protocol, and for the one website that was using V1 I pasted my RSA public key, but I’m starting to think it’s an error in my network configs since I’m hosting at home and using Playit proxy to get to the Hytale server. I had to use a Cloudflare tunnel to expose tcp://server-ip:8192 where HyVotifier runs. I’m just wondering if maybe HyVotifier won’t work over a proxy.

[wary lion]

i imagine an insane amount of open source plugins to get converted pretty fast

[finite vault]

I am about to looooooosssee itt, why when setting block state does the Block Ref in the chunk store just disapear

[wary lion]

is this for minecraft?

[dusky sable]

Well, this is the Hytale server so 🤔

[bold bear]

Oh wow, I was not aware of that. Yeah, that is pretty shady.

[calm robin]

Is there a way to prevent the drops from falling on the ground when breaking a ore?

[dusky sable]

Cancel the block break event

[wary lion]

saw citizen at first glance and thought this was for minecraft lmao i'm so incredibly tired i fell asleep in the middle of typing this ignore me

[dusky sable]

Its fine lol

[calm robin]

In this case, that would prevent the block from disappearing; I only want the ore to disappear and the block to be broken. Is that possible?

[dusky sable]

Sorry, forgot to mention the part where you break the block yourself with the breakBlock() (or something like that) in the world chunk. As far as I know, that's the only way to do it

[strong musk]

@ashen stone this means that your plugin violates the gpl, and therfor is essentially illegal for anybody to use(including you) until the licence is corrected
yes, licences arent law, but they can automatically strip any right you have to the code, and that is law

[quartz plover]

It's licensed under MIT as well, which seems strange to me as most closed-source projects are ARR instead

[strong musk]

tbh the bottom of the page says:

A public repository for public contributions will be set up in the following days. Enjoy! ❤️

[copper summit]

How i feel reading my errors sometimes
"The error is that there is no error"

[fiery lodge]

Is it possible to detect when a player has placed a specific block?

[finite crane]

Yeah, there are events for that I think, because you need to do that to tell the server that a block is ticking.

[stray pasture]

I beleive as long as those are not modified under GPL-3 there is no reason to open source as you must only open source modified contributed source.

Everyone including lawyers hates GPL licenses anyway, they try to claim any and all software no matter the use most be open source and free..

[fiery lodge]

I tried to register to the current block break event but the argument its using doesnt give anything i can seem to use to detect what specific block was broken

[verbal raft]

any cool servers?

[fiery lodge]

Also, why do i not have my package on my tags on discord yet, i bought the second tier package

[stray pasture]

No

Only hot servers here.

any that have a blend of pvp and building?

[opaque cape]

Supposedly Claude Sonnet 5 could be releasing as early as next week

Rumored to have 1 Million Context window
1/2 the price of Opus 4.5 and better in all areas

[high bane]

unlink and relink your discord account on https://accounts.hytale.com/settings

[stray pasture]

Ooh. But Opus is nice. Eh I am fine going back to sonnet!

[fiery lodge]

t

THERE we go 😄 thx @high bane

[high bane]

You got it 👍

[stray pasture]

I cant do this because ly account is my Discord account. 😄

[high bane]

pretty sure if you link another thing like google, you could still do that

[stray pasture]

Oh! Cool!

[opaque cape]

Opus is so expensive

[stray pasture]

I just sub monthly.

[finite vault]

how can I get the entity reference from a chunk reference? is that even possible

[opaque cape]

for Github Copilot you get an alotment of premium requests
And Opus 4.5 uses 3x and Sonnet 4.5 is 1x

[stray pasture]

I have no idea what is being measured. Is this price or context?

[opaque cape]

So for our plan we get 300 requests
So Opus 4.5 would use 3 request alotments, Vs Sonnet 4.5 that would use 1

[stray pasture]

Requests? Is this like an API situation?

[opaque cape]

This is what work is paying for

[stray pasture]

At least your work pays for it...

[fiery lodge]

Does anyone know if i can add a custom component to my block to store and retrieve data for that block specifically without having to create my own backend framework to manipulate the data?

What i am trying to do:
I am trying to store some custom logic to a block but it requires specific data for the block (think tile entities from minecraft)

What i want to do:
I want to assign the block data that i can manipulate in order to provide a scripted result, and also have a "on tick" that checks every 10 ticks or so to trigger logic for the block

[opaque cape]

1 Request = 1 Prompt + All the other requests the AI makes to itself before it gives you the final answer

[stray pasture]

Huh. I didnt even know you could be on a per request limitation.

[fiery lodge]

Hmm.... i figured out a solution using the docs xD
However: i require storing a variable amount of data, so components may not support the volitile data i was trying to construct

[opaque cape]

This is specifically for Github Copilot, for other platforms it may be different

[merry harbor]

Hello is there a way I can access a list of all online players so I can iterate on it

[unkempt musk]

I really need to store and retrieve 6 different values for the block lol!

[dawn torrent]

Anyone know what the alternative to BlockChunk.getSectionAtBlockY() with it being depricated?

We pay $39usd per user per month for the Higher Tier Plan

[stray pasture]

Ooooh. Thats awesome. The issue is many of my co-workers use different AI. (We all have our effective models)

[finite vault]

There is one on Community Hytale modding

Server Plugins > Block Components

I've wasted hours now trying to figure out this weird setBlockInteractionState issue....

I'm pretty convinced this is some hytale server bug

I've already experienced unexplainable issues before where block state changes, cause it giving me the wrong coords in my EntityTickingSystem (but only on place, chunk load works fine)

[sacred tulip]

I haven't played the game yet is it fun making plugins or is everything doable with AI?

[stray pasture]

I have been using AI but that is for docs and many algorithms. No agent capable but as a senior to Jr it is.

AI basically got me knowing nothing to ver little about java, but very familiar with programming setup with running and pretty okay code. A little work got it working well. Took about a day of effort.

[finite vault]

half the battle is just trying to work out what component you have available and how to get them.

which AI is pretty good at identifying these if you decompile the hytale server jar and ask it questions.
but atleast in my experience using claude code, it's absolutely dog water and figuring out how to use them without wasting an insane amount of context tokens

it's fun! but AI won't be building any plugins by itself without insane money sink right now (not until there's enough docs and examples)

[stray pasture]

Yeah, I dont trust Claude Code. I am nitty gritty. I basically use it to write snippets and I put them in

[opaque cape]

Github Copilot lets you choose from a bunch of models

[sacred tulip]

If someone spent a lot of time making good docs would AI be able to handle most of the work

[stray pasture]

Likely not

[ornate raven]

even if you use ai best is search decompiled hytaleserver jar so find right path

[dawn torrent]

Yeah I use AI for like "How do I get ___insert field from block___ from the info I have here" Or breaking my one 3D model into the 1.1k models I needed 🤣

[ornate raven]

there good docs not fully finished %100 but humanized rewritten there good ones

[stray pasture]

AI can get you the information and even piece it together, but it cant make something you want from a prompt.

[opaque cape]

I prefer to try ask here first, But alot of times people are busy or are unsure, So asking the AI how to achieve something is very helpful

[stray pasture]

Lol I use AI so I dont have to ask. 😄

[dawn torrent]

I wish I could send a pic of what I have going on with item pipes, it's littttt

[opaque cape]

I'm trying to commit the language to memory so its a last resort for this current mod I'm making

[ornate raven]

it would be good if they added channel with image perms

[finite vault]

most of the work, nah but it'd defo be way better for sure than it currently is

proper MCP server from some doc site would allow it to figure out how to use these component much faster and cheaper

[dawn torrent]

1.1k models for 1 block 🙃

[opaque cape]

The Server Jump Mod ended up a mess tbh, Even though it works

Shubshub Economy has a much cleaner codebase

[finite vault]

so like, is there away to report bugs for hytale server jar haha

cause I'm pretty sure I've bumped into two now

[ornate raven]

wtm

[dawn torrent]

I have a lib for people to (hopefully) use for creating energy production blocks, and things to consume energy, then I have my factory mod that connects to the lib

[smoky tendon]

anyone know how to use the "UseLatestTarget" from a BlockCondition Item Interaction?

I'm trying to save the reference of one block in a tool and then the next block that is clicked will then do "something"

[opaque cape]

There's currently a Community Project going on for a Power Standard API as well

[dawn torrent]

Must've missed that 🤣

[opaque cape]

Its called Hyperion

@marsh edge

[finite vault]

Placing a block that, will result in BlockState changes (like rails for example). will cause EntityTickingSystem to trigger, with wrong local coords.

and when running ⁨worldChunk.setBlockInteractionState⁩ causes it to loose it's Ref in the ChunkStore until a block update happens

this could be result of them ticking, but I'm pretty sure both of these are not intendted behaviours

I was able to work around the first one, but this second one is doing me in, it's been 5 hours

[ornate raven]

good catch did you report it i dont think intented bug this type of bugs problaby good to report on website

[finite vault]

dis what I was asking about, sounds like there's away to report them in forum, so ill look it up

[topaz cipher]

Anyone else use PlaceholderAPI by creeperface or WiFlow's PlaceholderAPI?

[opaque cape]

What does that do?

[stray pasture]

Yeah I get that. 😄 - I don't have enough bandwidth for that. But I hope ya get it! Never been good with syntax, but I know what I need and how I need it! - I am an encyclopedia who can't spell words. 😄

[opaque cape]

I come from Non Typed Languages like JS and Game Maker Language, where everything is a var 😄

Now in java my variable can be of type AuctionContract 😄

[stray pasture]

Ooh I hate dynamic typed languages. 😄 I see why your trying to do that. Its not reall the language but more the concept of types in a language?

[opaque cape]

Its more all the extra fluff that Java makes you do that even other typed languages dont

[stray pasture]

Yeah the verbosity.

[opaque cape]

Like

public static final BuilderCodec<AuctionContract> CODEC

[finite vault]

I've been using Kotlin, it's working like a treat

[opaque cape]

Thatd be something like

BuilderCodec<AuctionContract> CODEC in C++

Also I really like the CODEC System

Being able to natively build an omnidirectional serializer is game changing

I'm not seeing any errors.. nothing happens

[opaque cape]

Is world actually not null?

Add some logs my dude

[vocal kelp]

thats the correct way to do it?

[opaque cape]

Debugging? Yeah the best way is to just shove 10,000 logs all over the place till you dont reach the one you were expecting it to

[vocal kelp]

logs dont show anything

[opaque cape]

Log out what world is, See if it actually goes inside the execute block

I'm wondering why you even need to run that code on world.execute though

Literally no joke

⁨LOGGER.atInfo().log("We got over here to this part")⁩ All over the place till you reach the end of the string

[vocal kelp]

If you dont use the world.execute I get error, [2026/02/02 05:20:12 SEVERE] [InteractionSystems$TickInteractionManagerSystem] Exception while ticking entity interactions! Removing!

[real canyon]

Well, I almost got the Worldgen V2 thing adding a Prop. I have an Assignment that it's finding from my overridden Biome, but the server log keeps saying it can't find a prefab at my ⁨WeightedPrefabPaths⁩ ⁨Path⁩ 🤕

I'm setting it relative to the whole ⁨Server/WorldgenAlt/Prefabs⁩ path thing, but no luck 😫

[opaque cape]

By the looks of it you're generating the item to drop at 0,3,0 ?

Oh wait no I see your pos of 5,101,5

[vocal kelp]

no thats the velocity, it drops at 5 103 5

[finite crane]

WorldgenAlt? What? It should just be in Server/Prefabs.

Also it needs to be in a folder named after the prefab, that's how it randomly selects.

ie:

Server/Prefabs/(PREFAB NAME)/(PREFAB NAME)_001.prefab.json

[opaque cape]

Are you at or near 5,101,5?

[vocal kelp]

yep

[opaque cape]

Make sure to log out what h is as well

[real canyon]

Oh! Yikes! Ok, yeah, I'm finding a lot of confusing information 😅

TY! I'll try it!...

[finite crane]

You're welcome, hope that fixes it for you.

[real canyon]

Ok, this is interesting, I still don't see the prefab in the world, and now I don't get any warnings about it not existing, but I do get a warning about unused keys. I'm sure I made my Assignment file wrong 😳

⁨Delimiters.0.Assignments.Prop.Directionality.DefaultDirection, Delimiters.0.Assignments.Prop.Scanner.HeightRange, Delimiters.0.Assignments.Prop.Scanner.Range, Delimiters.0.Assignments.Prop.Scanner.Pattern, Delimiters.0.Assignments.Prop.Scanner.Origin⁩

[finite crane]

Hmm, yeah that may break it. It's also kinda tough to figure out a good amount to set them to so that the prefabs don't either: Flood the world, or, never show up.

[real canyon]

Yeah and there's so many settings it's crazy, not to mention I can't use the Asset Editor on Linux.

[finite crane]

Oh. That would be horrible. Editing them as pure json would be the absolute hell of all time. Especially since the editor auto generates UUID's that are needed I think.

[real canyon]

Yeah, I've been trying to do this for 3 days 🫠

[finite crane]

Whomp.

[vocal kelp]

⁨ world.execute(() -> { Store<EntityStore> s = world.getEntityStore().getStore(); System.out.println("TEST"); System.out.println("**** " + store.getEntityCount()); ItemStack i = new ItemStack("Ingredient_Fiber", 1); System.out.println(i.isValid()); Vector3d pos = new Vector3d(5, 101, 5); Holder<EntityStore> h = ItemComponent.generateItemDrop( s, i, pos, Vector3f.ZERO, 0.0F, 3.25f, 0.0F); assert h != null; System.out.println(h.toString()); s.addEntity(h, AddReason.SPAWN); });⁩

i give up, i've been trying to do this for two days now

it's not getting added to the store for some reason, I print the entityCount and it always shows 0

I started a working on this mod that I have on curse forge simple arrow pickup, when I started there's was nothing about arrows, V1 was simple: I just listened for arrow projectiles, waited until they stopped moving (velocity ~0), then treated them as pickup arrows and gave them back to the player. Flying arrows were ignored, stopped arrows got reclaimed. but I could not find a way to make them persist in the world more than 3 to 5 seconds , found a work around to make them into pickable item like a loot drop and until I find a way or is implemented in the API (I dont know if it is I tried looking but didnt find a way to persist projectiles) it will be like this, put it on curse forge to find someone already did some similar T.T took me longer to finish cause i'm new to java and modding anything other than LUA

It's very precise this Hytale generator 😝

[cold kite]

What is BBB?

[finite crane]

True. Doubles everywhere, no floats or ints allowed.

[real canyon]

In a voxel game where most things should be whole blocks no less!

[finite crane]

True.

[west elk]

builtbybit

[unkempt musk]

@vocal kelp how are you calling the SpawnItem() ?

[strong musk]

tbh, its kind of impressive how few blocks are "whole" blocks
its still a lot, but its a lot less than I wouldve thought

[real canyon]

That's a good point, most blocks are not rendered on all sides!

[strong musk]

also vanilla uses a ton of slabs and "weird" blocks like pebbles, most decoration blocks, sticks

[finite crane]

Pebbles are a full block, do you mean rubble?

[vocal kelp]

so i found out that I can spawn an item when running with a command but when I do this, ⁨world = Universe.get().getWorld("W1"); assert world != null; store = world.getEntityStore().getStore();⁩ it doesn't work?

[strong musk]

yeah rubble, whatever the little one is

[unkempt musk]

Ill try to help, what are you trying to achieve? At what point should the item spawn to the ground?

[vocal kelp]

I have some code that spawns an item and it works fine when run from a command, I use the world parameter that the command gives. But when I try to use the same code with Universe.get().getWorld("W1") it doesn't work. Not sure why?

[dull junco]

Hey @dusky sable thanks so much for this info! Do you know where there is any reference to these role indices - like 53 is no behavior, 54 = ???, 55 = ???, etc.?

[dusky sable]

I honestly have no idea. Maybe if there's a specific entity have behaves like you want your NPCs to, you can spawn them with spawnEntity() and check their role

[vocal kelp]

when I print out world.getName() from the command context it shows 3 for some reason... why wouldnt it show W1? I have no world named 3

[unkempt musk]

can i add you in so its easier to message?

[vocal kelp]

sure

[unkempt musk]

Added.

[loud osprey]

how can i make a custom item where i can place it in the world, i got the item showing in my inventory i just cant place it

[fervent lava]

Has anyone been able to create custom particles/effect and damage system? been trying to ramp up for some ability releases and its tough

[finite crane]

That means the block is bugged.

[loud osprey]

If I use another item for example a bench as a basis for it, it works fine but when I add it from scratch not basing it off of anything is when I have the issue

[finite crane]

Maybe it's the being a basis thing that borks it then.

Or you aren't properly overriding something that needs to be overriden.

[loud osprey]

Idk I’m still learning

[inland palm]

Any Coders/Scripters that want to join a project? we are working on making a highly runescape inspired server and are looking for more people who want to join the cause 😄 if you want to join or just want more info hit me up!

[pliant brook]

hello, beginner dev here, may i ask how to edit the recipes required for an item

[rustic pollen]

when the pre-release gets a normal release? As server owner i really need the fixes in this releases because our server crashes very often because world teleporting :/

[tiny geode]

is there any way to make a world thats empty but still has biomes? so i can do a skyblock type thing for singleplayer? and with mobs spawning

[west elk]

"a few weeks"

[barren maple]

have you downloaded any mods to help with this such as hyfixes? I run like 5 different patching/optimization mods and my server doesn't crash anymore

[lost mist]

Hi all, After reading through the server api I couldn't find anything related to a player touching a liquid, does anybody know any events?

[opaque cape]

⁨public static final BuilderCodec<PluginConfig> CODEC = BuilderCodec.builder(PluginConfig.class, PluginConfig::new) .append(new KeyedCodec<>("DefaultStartingBalance", Codec.STRING), (config, value) -> { config.defaultStartingBalance = new BigInteger(value);}, config -> config.defaultStartingBalance.toString()) .add() .append(new KeyedCodec<>("EnableAuctionHouse", Codec.BOOLEAN), (config, value) -> { config.enableAuctionHouse = value; }, config -> config.enableAuctionHouse) .add() .build();⁩

Is this valid?

[unkempt musk]

Just an observation, since you are using BigInteger, do you have a cap on the balance value? Using bigint can lead to some issues down the line.

[opaque cape]

No cap

Maybe I'll have a configurable cap

[unkempt musk]

You should, bigint afaik doesnt have a cap and if a bug/exploit is found where you can add money, that can lead to some serious memory issues.

Just a headsup, i doubt youll ever need numbers that big 😄

[opaque cape]

I'm doing it because its fun

What if someone decides to make an Idle Game Minigame with my Economy Mod 0:

[opaque cape]

I'll have to make sure that doesnt happen then

[lost mist]

Hi all, After reading through the server api I couldn't find anything related to a player touching a liquid, does anybody know any events?

[unkempt musk]

Oh yea for sure, go for it! Just giving a heads up 😄

[rustic pollen]

Yes i use hyzenkernel 🙂

[pliant brook]

does anyone have automated restart plugin?

[opaque cape]

Anyone here a master of HyUI?

How do I add like a margin or padding between HTML elements xD

margin and padding isnt supported by the spec

[storm heron]

look into the collision interaction for lava/water

[west elk]

Padding is supported

[sudden scaffold]

Hi everyone ! Is there a clean way to trigger the selection tool with a cmd (I already know how to create new one)?

[opaque cape]

Hmmm, Let me try

Oh I see

⁨data-hyui-content-padding⁩ This you mean?

[west elk]

I don't actually know HyUI, i only know that padding is supported by the underlying ui dsl

[opaque cape]

HyUI lets you write HTML for the UI 😛

But it only supports a limited spec

[west elk]

*within the constraints of the platform

yeah and the platform supports padding

both horizontal/vertical, and directional keywords

[opaque cape]

Lets see if this works

Well it worked but not in the way I was expecting

[west elk]

for HyUI specific questions, you would probably get better help in Ellie's discord

[pine holly]

welcome to life

[opaque cape]

😭

[lost mist]

Didnt even think of that, appreciate it ❤️

I wonder if anybody has figured out how to do the [CLICK HERE] and it runs a command in chat

[opaque cape]

Looks like I had to explicitly add another element of size between them

There isnt a way to add margin otherwise

[minor depot]

What jumps out to me is you are using a string codec by the value in your config is a number.

[unreal crest]

⁨@random magnet⁩ Will the UI system be changed? Will smooth animations be possible for hover buttons and animations in general?

[opaque cape]

The codec system doesnt support a biginteger

And an integer can only be so large

But as a string it can be any length and so can biginteg3r

[west elk]

They're in the process of switching to Noesis which will give us a bunch more flexibility. Pinging the devs is unnecessary

Especially Slikey who's on vacation

[minor depot]

Yes, I understand, but the content needs to be a string to load, and then you transform to a BigInteger like you are doing.

[unreal crest]

Okay, thx

[opaque cape]

Ohhh yeah right that was the issue, sorry I was confused by what you meant and shouldve clarified I solved it

[minor depot]

All good 🙂

[unreal crest]

Do you know when they will update and make the UI on Noesis?

[west elk]

parts of the ui already use it

it just takes some time to move everything over

[unreal crest]

Okay, thanks you

[left frigate]

Surprised noone has made a tags or a voucher plugin yet lol

[lucid spire]

why does a break block event get called if i place a block?

[west elk]

because you're "breaking" the block it replaces

for example grass, the water block if you're placing in water, or the air block on land

[lyric olive]

excusme, whre can i report bug on this game

[west elk]

https://accounts.hytale.com/feedback

[lucid spire]

thanks

[teal stone]

Has anyone managed to get increased mob HP to work? I've been trying for a week, no matter what I try I can't get mobs hp to get increased. I was close but was too buggy.

[lyric olive]

thankyou sir

[lucid spire]

is there an easy way to check for these "non breakable blocks" or do i have to check them manually?

[opaque cape]

Method for Flooring a Value?

[minor depot]

Math.floor?

[west elk]

I don't know what you mean

[lucid spire]

like if i want to check if its air, or any fluid etc. blocks that you dont actualyl break but are replaced, do i just have to check it for everything seperately?

but i think i found a solution already

[west elk]

yeah this can happen to basically any block

[lucid spire]

i get get the group of the block

[west elk]

if you place a block on any grass or shrubs or so, the break block event will be called for it

[mellow flume]

quick tips please!

I need create a new NPC so the player can reach it and the npc will execute a command for this player

Where do i start

[west elk]

Here is the npc documentation from the Hytale team
hytalemodding,dev/en/docs/official-documentation/npc-doc

hytalemodding,dev/en/docs/official-documentation/npc/1-know-your-enemy

[minor depot]

I think blocks that aren't intended to be broken lack gathering configuration, so you can see if ⁨BlockType::getGathering⁩ is null to know if the block should be unbreakable.

Maybe some other checks needed too

[opaque cape]

oki

⁨String query = "SELECT auction_uuid, contract_data FROM auctions WHERE expiration_processed = 0 LIMIT " + pageSize + " OFFSET " + offset;⁩

Is this valid sql?

It just seems to give me the same 4 Elements each time when Pagesize is 4 and Page Number is 0 and then 1

LIMIT works but OFFSET seems to not

[lucid spire]

a pickaxe has different power for different gather types, is it possible to set a "overall power" without having to specify it for every gather type?
⁨```
"Tool": {
"Specs": [

"Power": 1,
"GatherType": "SoftBlocks"
},
{

I’m looking for programmers/moddets to help me with hytale server for plugins and mods, please lmk I’ll provide extra details once you message me!

Willing to pay

[west elk]

not hytale related, but pagination requires a consistent sort order

[karmic locust]

does anyone know about generating structures in existing biomes?

[opaque cape]

Yeah I'll probably work on that once I actually have it workin 0:

I'm so close to making this UI work....

I'll be a genius java programmer once more until the next problem arises

omg I think I did it

Now to just wait for the Auctions to flush to the DB (And I'll fix that tomorrow)

Currently Auctions dont join the DB on first creation, Only when we flush the cache

[upper wyvern]

can be if it was plugin related 👀

[lucid spire]

any idea why this is not dropping a block?

player.getWorld().breakBlock(block.getX(), block.getY()-1, block.getZ(), SetBlockSettings.NONE);

it breaks it but you get no item

[opaque cape]

Update: I am the smartest man alive

[minor depot]

Try ⁨BlockHarvestUtils::performBlockBreak⁩ or ⁨BlockHarvestUtils::naturallyRemoveBlock⁩

All the logic for dropping items from blocks is in there.

[woeful sapphire]

you might wanna start looking into prepared statements fyi

[opaque cape]

Example?

Ive never really written much raw sql

[fringe herald]

How to get the rotation of a block inside a SimpleBlockInteraction?

[mellow tendon]

on docs oracle dot com /en/java/javase/25/docs/api/java.sql/java/sql/PreparedStatement.html

basically it lets you safely inject variables to prevent injections

[stray pasture]

Injections are safe! (If prescribed by a doctor).

[mellow tendon]

not sql injections!

[stray pasture]

SQL just sounds like an effective disease.

Dont get SQLs they are nasty! Oh or (an SQL) 😂

[tropic axle]

How do I open a chest for a player?

[high bane]

This is a channel for people to have conversations about modding. If you're bored and just want to troll around, would you be so kind as to move to #game-discussion ? It's hard for people to offer help and have serious conversations when someone keeps interupting with attempted jokes.

[steady wolf]

[mellow tendon]

don't have ide open rn, but you can check how Open_Container interaction is implemented in server code

[stray pasture]

I don't have it memorized yet, but this is the best I got for the idea and use:

WindowManager, ContainerBlockWindow.

[cosmic agate]

Any way to hook into user keypresses?

[west elk]

via "Interactions"
hytalemodding,dev/en/docs/guides/plugin/player-input-guide

[high bane]

Not possible to have custom keybinds at all currently, no. They're working on how to create them with no risk of keyloggers.

In the meantime you can actually hook into the existing keybinds for Q, F, etc, but not add your own (see DaniDipp's link to hytalemodding)

[stray pasture]

Yeah, I dont think they even send packets for unused keys. There is no way to detect other than your typical keys.

Becareful since your hijacking direct keys you can disable in-game stuff doing so. 😄

[naive imp]

Hi, If any server or user wants a mod or custom plugin, let me know and I’ll open commissions. You can include art, animations, and complex functionality.

[stray pasture]

Oh, also I saw somebody using builder menu keybinds since you can check those for other actions for key inputs

[unkempt musk]

hypixel\hytale\protocol\packetregistry for the registered packetID's.

if you have a decompiled server.jar

[random briar]

how can one player use like half of my server ram?

[stray pasture]

Memory leaks. And some chunk management issues. There are some performance plugins like Nitrados to assist and there is a good list of java args I cant get mine atm

[mellow tendon]

short answer: it doesn't

[high bane]

Is the player generating a lot of chunks, maybe?

Or do you have like 4gb ram

[mellow tendon]

long answer:
you're likely confused on how memory management in java works and seeing allocation amount in a panel or in your os monitor

[random briar]

when i play its fine, but this random player makes it like half of the server ram

[stray pasture]

It can, I was a single player on a void world and it ate 25gigs.

[stray pasture]

Hmm, anything they are doing? Using? - What is loaded around them? Ram amount?

[mellow tendon]

whats your server's Xmx value in startup flags?

[mellow tendon]

where are you observing this?

[stray pasture]

4

[mellow tendon]

and the server itself climbed to 25gb?

[random briar]

14336M

[stray pasture]

Yep! I fixed it though. No longer a problem for me, took a few settings and server modifications to get working

[west elk]

If you give the JVM ram, it will use it. Would be wasteful otherwise. A larger heap results in fewer GC events and more efficient caching

[mellow tendon]

then the server will use up to ~14gb ram, regardless if there's 1, 2 or 20 players.
java runs in a vm, effectively. outside meters cannot see "inside" that vm and just report how much memory is currently allocated to the server

[stray pasture]

It is why Java is always seen as memory hungery, it reserves the largest pool allowed. So it doesnt have to resource share via OS.

[random briar]

he just join and leaves that player is no longer in the server leaving the server with usage of 50% ram, but when i join and play only about 15% is used

[mellow tendon]

again, you're not looking at "used" memory. you're looking at currently allocated memory.

it's simply confusion on how java works.

in the ideal world you'd use -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch to allocate all the memory at the start and never release it, so it would report as always "using" full memory at panels or monitors

it would not actually actively use that memory, just reserve it for jvm so it can work without making allocation calls on runtime

[stray pasture]

Funnily most games use this concept, pre-loading, loads all allocations into ram so you don't have to allocate during runtime. Java just does it for ya. 😄

[west elk]

Very simplified: When a player joins your server, chunks and entities get loaded into RAM (the "heap"). When the player moves around, the contents of the heap grows, until it reaches your specified max. Even unloaded chunks and entities are kept "hot", so that if they're needed again, they can be accessed quickly.

If you lower your Xmx value, the JVM has less space to play with. This results in unloaded chunks getting cleaned up more frequently, which is not a bad thing in itself, but could lead to lag if it gets choked out.

[balmy vault]

i need help with a game issue

how to fix? my game says my time is 2 hours ahead but it isnt. i had a vpn but i uninstalled it. what do i do???????????????????????????

[upper wyvern]

ayy finally got the rank, had to re-connect my discord

[upper wyvern]

your game time where?

[mellow tendon]

game? your client, or your server?
we cannot see your screen, you need to paint a picture

[upper wyvern]

but what if he can't paint 👀

[mellow tendon]

it's a figure of speech

[upper wyvern]

woosh

[mellow tendon]

I have learned to assume people don't understand things

that's why I explain everything

[sinful storm]

lmao my system got all iffy about a plugin because the modder's name is "virus"

and security software being as sophisticated as it is, saw DID SOMEONE SAY VIRUS?

[jolly sphinx]

hey, did they add something already to see what ip the player used to connect to the server?

[upper wyvern]

Usually the client resolves host->ip, so I'm gonna guess; unlikely, but that's just a guess

[stray pasture]

I have a relay that gives me routes, but I just realized I dont think Hytale obfuscate that information. 😄 but I am grabbing packets before they enter and auth with Hytale.

[mellow tendon]

ip should be visible in client ready packet log.
did you mean hostname?

[topaz cipher]

Wut?! I was only using 2GB for one person with over 36 mods and with 5 players on I get up to 5GB out of 8GB I assigned it.

[mellow tendon]

we just went through the entire conversation about this

it doesn't work like you think it does.

[topaz cipher]

Yeah, I opened my phone and saw that. Lol

[dense lichen]

Does anyone have an solid modded server rcommendations?

[upper wyvern]

working on my first large-scale plugin in years, gonna see how difficult it's gonna be to "cross-platform" it for mc and Hytale, but at least it'll give me a chance to find the equivalent systems from mc->Hytale API systems

of course I didn't think of cross-platform till it was too late 👀

[west elk]

you just have to have a solid abstraction layer which can be a big rewrite depending on your current setup

[upper wyvern]

Yeah I'm in the middle of the rewrite, I went too far down the Hytale trail 🤣

I never had fun with custom pathfinding in MC (Even with Citizens2 lib), I wonder how difficult it's gonna be with Hytale to rip the brains out of an NPC to give it my own pathfinding rules

[rotund fossil]

What would cause Query in AndQuery cannot be null? @Override public @Nullable Query<EntityStore> getQuery() { return Query.and(Teleport.getComponentType(), TransformComponent.getComponentType(), Query.not(PlayerRef.getComponentType())); }

[west elk]

The entity module might not be loaded

[rotund fossil]

Is there a way to wait until it is? This is happening during registration

[west elk]

In your manifest.json, add "Hytale:EntityModule": "*" in your dependencies

[rotund fossil]

That seems to have fixed it thank you!

[west elk]

{
  "Group":...
  "Name":...
  ...
  "Dependencies": {
    "Hytale:EntityModule": "*"
  }
}

[upper wyvern]

I have not ran into Dependencies systems yet, what's that all about 👀 (I don't see it on the non-official docs)

[sleek garnet]

please tell me there is a way to get rid of that whole authentication thing. I cant get anyone in the server except for me

prob shoulda just made a thread for that but still

[west elk]

It's how plugins depend on each other. EntityModule is a plugin like ours. * means any version

[high bane]

If you can connect anyone should, did you /auth login and make sure to change the persistence to Encrypted?

[rotund fossil]

Is there a list of Hytale core plugins?

[sleek garnet]

ohhhhh i set it to Memory

[high bane]

I'd change it to Encrypted, and then restart, see if maybe that fixes it

[west elk]

yeah, in your server, run /plugin list

[rotund fossil]

Didn't think about that lol thanks

[upper wyvern]

Ah so post-pone plugin loading until post-hytale systems, and then for "load last" guessing you can just set it to the last loaded hytale plugin you see in console (?)

[hasty parrot]

Is there anyone who also can't open their world?

[west elk]

best practice is to just figure out which functionality you depend on and specify that in your dependencies. Don't try to outsmart the plugin loaders optimizations

[azure narwhal]

"DamageModifiers": {
"Physical": 0,
"Projectile": 0,
"Poison": 0
}

What type of damage modifier would Explosion's like the boom shroom be? Would that be Enivronment ?

[rotund fossil]

Would it be best to store data on the player or in a custom player file? I am leaning towards custom player file as to not mess with player data.

[west elk]

Most simple way is to create a component with a proper codec and just attach that to the player. Hytale then takes care of saving/loading the data

[random briar]

there is this username popping up the server and makes the server unstable the username is Ariorh, watch out for this player

[fleet dagger]

My server keeps on crashing, is it better to only keep Server Optimizer or Nitrado Performance?

[west elk]

is one of them mentioned in the crash log?

[clever horizon]

Do you know if there's any concern with storing large/complex data structures in a component?

[mellow tendon]

Don't use "optimization" plugins

[random briar]

just wish there was a propper showcase of that ive checked on hytale modding none there has helped me

[mellow tendon]

Snake oil :🐍

[west elk]

Can't think of anything. there are some complex things in the player data already but in the end, it all gets compiled to json

[clever horizon]

I'll have to see then. Could end up with upwards of half a megabyte serialized

[west elk]

per player? 😳

[clever horizon]

Per entity using the system. Not limited to players specifically

Program state of a stack-based virtual machine

[stray pasture]

I kept Nitrado. I found it to be more consistent.

[clever horizon]

I might just end up storing them outside of ECS and just keeping a reference in the component.

[west elk]

yeah you already know that you operatate outside of it's intended use case ^^

I'm confident that the system would be able to handle it, but by doing it yourself you can probably make it more performant

[clever horizon]

Well it will also eliminate this lame persistence checkpoint I have right now. I'm trying to keep it off the world thread as much as possible

[nocturne bane]

Anyone see this issue before? My whole screen went white

[mortal path]

Is it possible to add a custom slot in the inventory? For example, under the shoe slot?

[nocturne bane]

Thanks for sharing this however I do not have "Priority & VLAN Disabled" as an option or value selection in the properties.

[formal dome]

Hi, everyone
There was such a question regarding the use of resources on the server. Can someone tell me how much disk space the world will consume over a distance? I mean, players will create blocks, buildings, etc., how much space will all this potentially take up?
And the second question is, has anyone encountered an attempt to redirect server logs to prometheus?

[iron gate]

Is there an event I can use to tell when a player eats? Or even before they eat and potentially cancel it?

[surreal flame]

how can i send message to the player like when entering a new biome?

the message top middle of the screen

its not sendMessage or Notification

[west elk]

EventTitleUtil.showEventTitleToPlayer()

[surreal flame]

thanks @west elk

[thick fox]

Any examples on writing up a basic Hytale proxy? I can get the client to attempt to connect and the proxy receive the connection. From there I just have to do some digging on how to handle the handshake, auth, etc. But if there are working examples, can't hurt to look at

[uncut oak]

If I want to add assets to my plugin is there a way to use the asset editor?

[west elk]

yes. your new asset type has to define a codec and be registered like this:

getAssetRegistry().register(HytaleAssetStore.builder(String.class, WelcomeToastConfig.class, new DefaultAssetMap<String, WelcomeToastConfig>())
    .setPath("DaniDipp/WelcomeToasts")
    .setCodec(WelcomeToastConfig.CODEC)
    .setKeyFunction(WelcomeToastConfig::getId)
    .build());

[storm heron]

I think he means using the asset editor to add/override assets from the base game

to which you can but it depends on how you're setting up and running the plugin

[uncut oak]

thanks! I was asking what uyghti said, but I was going to do this so it saves me some time on the docs

[uncut oak]

I'm using the plugin in IDEA, right now I just have a pack that im manually copying to my plugin but its really annoying

[storm heron]

whats your buildscript looking like? Have you got a way to run a server from the IDE? that's usually the easiest way

[uncut oak]

the plugin default gradle build script, it runs a server from the IDE but puts the plugin in readonly so i cant edit the assets in the editor.

[storm heron]

Ah, I'm not too sure what that plugin does unfortunately. The run configuration I'm using just adds an argument when running the server that points to my src/main. Something like --mods="C:/path/to/my/src/main"

[idle nebula]

Is creating a new world in a custom instance require a plugin? Or can you do it with a datapack?

[storm heron]

you can do it with an asset pack

[uncut oak]

does your run config compile the plugin to a jar or just leave the Server and Common folder?

[idle nebula]

Ok, So how does it work, I've tried replacing the default instance

[storm heron]

as far as i know i dont use the compiled plugin jar file when running the server

[uncut oak]

I see, I think thats what I need to change then. Thanks for the help

[storm heron]

yea if your mod isn't a jar/zip, it shouldn't be read-only

[storm heron]

create a new instance in Server/Instances/<Your_Instance_Name>/instance.bson and then either setup a whole PortalType for it if you want to use the ancient gateway to travel to it, or setup a new interaction using the TeleportInstance interaction

[alpine creek]

I have a component:
ComponentType<ChunkStore, MyTestComponent>

And have a system
HolderSystem<ChunkStore> that make sure that onEntityAdd, we add the component:
holder.ensureComponent<MyTestComponent>(this.myTestComponentType)

I register it with CODEC:
chunkStoreRegistry.registerComponent(
MyTestComponent::class.java,
"MyTestComponent",
MyTestComponent.CODEC
)

But when block unloads and loads again, it's state drops to default.

How to store the component state? 🙂
Maybe someone know, how FarmingBlock store it's state 🤔

[idle nebula]

That is for traveling to the instance after world creation, I want to start a new game and create a new world that starts in my custom instance.

[storm heron]

oh then i'm not really sure -- isn't there a default world option somewhere?

in config.json in your universe folder there is a defaults section, you could try that

[uncut oak]

I got it working now, thanks for the help!

[storm heron]

anything in the console saying that your codec failed to serialize/deserialize by chance?

[idle nebula]

That's outside of an assetpack, changing that would be no different than starting a world and using commands.

[storm heron]

thats true, then i guess you'd need a plugin

[idle nebula]

Uhg, ok. I don't suppose you've tried modding V1 worldgen, cause that

Also doesn't seem to work.

[dull oxide]

Me too

[storm heron]

I haven't touched v1 worldgen so I can't help sorry

can I ask what it is you're trying to do that involves changing v1 worldgen?

[idle nebula]

I want a plug and play way to start a game with my own worldgen.

[dull oxide]

he's the owner of 2o2t (look it up on hytalehub) I think he's doing that that to climb ranks

[merry harbor]

Is there a way to know if a block/entity is in a x y z position? I wanna check if there’s already a block there if it’s not add a block if theres a block don’t add it

[rain shard]

Hey guys I saw that chunk pre-generation is built in the game how did this work exactly. Because there is no progression indicator and I don't know if is working

[idle nebula]

It seems using crafting is the only way besides diving into the code to find out if I can do it with a plugin.

[deft cargo]

Is there something like mca selector? I need to delete some chunks to regenerate them in the new version however I want to keep a few chunks

[west elk]

you mean world.getBlock(x, y, z)?

[strong flax]

Guys, could you help me?

[west elk]

no need to ask to ask

just send your question and if someone knows the answer, they will tell you :)

[strong flax]

My brother deleted my early access game account, and I wanted to know if there's any way I can get the game back.

😢

[west elk]

https://support.hytale.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[rain shard]

Write to support and give them your email 👆

[dull oxide]

I reported it on Hytale's website

[strong flax]

I even have the purchase ID; it was made on the first day of early access.

[merry harbor]

If there’s no block it returns null?

[strong flax]

thanks

[storm heron]

you could write a small plugin that just teleports players to your instance every time they connect

[strong flax]

ok thank you

[tawdry dragon]

Any guides on how to setup a Bedwars server?

[storm heron]

not sure how handling deaths and other things would work doing that but might be worth a shot 🤷

[idle nebula]

Basically, I want to make a custom word gen that players can access with just adding a mod, and doesn't require late game stuff. Needing commands or setup, would be annoying, and I'm not an artist, so Adding a lot of end game content isn't viable. So an early entrance to the new generation is the idea.

[west elk]

No, it's an int, so it would probably return BlockType.getAssetMap().getIndex("Empty");
Haven't tested it myself though

[dull oxide]

his UUID is f0cea4b7-0945-44f3-a77e-246033692f82

[storm heron]

or if you really want to stick to asset packs you could make a new teleport pad block that is very cheap to craft (sticks or something) and have that teleport them to your instance

[random briar]

i knew something was not right about the player

[upper wyvern]

likely unstable from joining and loading in unloaded chunks @random briar aka not malicious

[random briar]

i test some stuff with other dev, this never happens only Ariorh that does this makes the server unstable

[dull oxide]

How do you explain he's the only player that tried logging in my server within 10 hours and he does it EVERY 30 MINUTES and the server always crashes

[dull oxide]

Yeah on my server too

[idle nebula]

I could do this, but I wanna differentiate between first joins and latter, So people can travel multiple worlds without being reset on join. I think an early craftable portal is probably the best option right now.

Oh well, I kinda wanted better lore for entering my worldgen, like an added portal at the temple. But I suppose making a portal from sticks and rubble would work, I can put the description as, "How does this even work."

[alpine creek]

no, BUT
I have only 1 field with "CurrentLevel", and I changed it from 1 to 10 in my component object.
But when I debug the CODEC getter - it return CurrentLevel as 1.

So, CODEC works, but value in CODEC is default one 🤔

[idle nebula]

I could probably overwrite the temple portal I suppose, I think that would work.

[storm heron]

Yep that would work. Also I've not messed around with it myself but you might be able to edit and override the prefabs that spawn (such as the forgotten temple) and add your portal that way too?

[idle nebula]

Tried it. And tried changing the prefab to a coppied and modified one.

[storm heron]

Ah, bummer...

[idle nebula]

It seems the Server/World folder is not overwriten by assetpacks, and prefabs don't seem to be replacable. Although I only tried the temple.

[alpine creek]

ah, forget
I didn't add that field into "clone" method, now everything works fine

[storm heron]

oh yep that'll do it

[idle nebula]

Temple portal overwrite works, I suppose I'll go with that. Thanks

[cursive gorge]

anyone working on some non traditional minigames? (not a port from minecraft, skyblock, skywars, bedwars, etc)

Or if you have an idea of something that could be fun id love to hear it

[dull sun]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask… but I have a couple of mods that I can’t seem to get to work on a server. Mods such as Violet’s Furniture and Functional Wardrobes that adds assets to the game. I extract the zip in the root folder (so the /Server and /Common files go on the server), but they don’t seem to be showing in game. Am I doing something wrong, or do those mods need to be client-side as well… help 😂

[upper wyvern]

The server sends the mods to the client as needed | Check the console

[dull sun]

According to console, everything seems to be loading normally

[nocturne bane]

Restored defaults and that fixed the white screen issue. Too many mods was the issue it seems.

[thorny minnow]

Does anyone here use HyUI and would you recommend it?

[ornate raven]

yes

[thorny minnow]

Thanks!

[visual spire]

is there an event, a mechanic or something already in vanilla hytale that interrupts mobs when they're starting an attack? like if you damage someone while they are in a wind up animation they get interrupted.

[ornate raven]

maybe when they get damage?

[tame creek]

hey is there any servers I can do pvp in?

[storm heron]

dont extract the zip

[random briar]

is there a way to ban ip, seems like PlayerSetupConnectEvent does nothing at all

[dull sun]

wait... do I just put the zip in the mods folder then? (sorry brand new to Hytale aha)

[drowsy solstice]

Hii I’m trying to play with controller on MacBook through steam. The controllers have been updated it does connect with the MacBook but as soon as we launch hytale it stops working. Can anyone help?

[random briar]

tried to send logs and schedule send player message and nothing happens

    public static void onPlayerSetupConnect(PlayerSetupConnectEvent event) {
        var auth = event.getAuth();
        var referralSource = auth.getReferralSource();
        var ip = referralSource.host;
        Essentials.getInstance().getScheduleHandler().schedule(() ->
                Universe.get().getPlayer(event.getUuid()).sendMessage(Message.raw("You joined with ip: " + ip)), 10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    }

[storm heron]

yes the whole zip

[dull sun]

I will try that, thank you! 😄
I guess I thought I had to extract the zip, because the zip contained /Server and /Common directories... my bad aha

[west elk]

What is Essentials and why are you using it over HytaleServer.SCHEDULED_EXECUTOR?

[quick goblet]

Server Issues : 4NETPLAYERS. I setup a server at the weekend so I can play my world when I'm working away - I am now away and the game randomly connects but will kick me out after a short time + I cannot interact with anything (Open chests etc.) - Does anybody else have the issue? 4NETPLAYERS are blaming the game... But I'm not convinced 🙄

[random briar]

dont worry about that, just wanna know why PlayerSetupConnectEvent does nothing, i want ban ip able instead of just a username

i tried to send logs but nothing happens

[devout harness]

how can I check for a block in the player's vicinity?

[random briar]

event does actually nothing what

public class PlayerSetupConnect {
    public static void onPlayerSetupConnect(PlayerSetupConnectEvent event) {
        var auth = event.getAuth();
        var referralSource = auth.getReferralSource();
        var ip = referralSource.host;
        Essentials.getInstance().getScheduleHandler().schedule(() ->
                Universe.get().getPlayer(event.getUuid()).sendMessage(Message.raw("You joined with ip: " + ip)), 10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        event.setCancelled(true);
        event.setReason(ip + " is banned!");
    }
}

i can still join while i sat it to cancel

[thorny minnow]

Anyone know if there is a way to have individual click events attached to each rendered component within the UI? Using HyUI btw

probably better to ask in Ellie's discord

[pine holly]

yeah just put zips or jars in the mods folder in \Server

[dull sun]

tyty... I just want the furniture aha

I had the same assumption

[dull sun]

not a silly assumption then? 😅

[vast fulcrum]

when adding items to an inventory how to make it stack with existing items?

[signal vale]

Hello! I have a question: can I use .blockymodel for the block?

[devout harness]

how can I get all entities within a certain range of a block or entity?

[west elk]

Yes

[merry harbor]

How can i make so what the player destroys goes directly to his inventory?

[thorny minnow]

This should do the trick according to the source code

⁨```java

player.getInventory()
.getCombinedEverything()
.addItemStack(itemStack);

[candid niche]

Why so many economy providers on hytale... just stop xd

[vast fulcrum]

yeah, getCombinedBackpackStorageHotbar also did the trick for me 😄

is it possible that you can only interact with a trader with a specific player role?

[surreal flame]

how can i register a system truly global so that is counts for every world even when the world get loaded later?

[thorny minnow]

How do i check if a player has op?

[sweet bronze]

I m on a problem since 2 days, i try to change like 50 000 block/tint around a position. I got some perf problems, how u will do that ? I try to use Selection with the player but its laggy.

[keen pecan]

Hi guys, how do i block player camera rotation?

[vast fulcrum]

how to get the dropped item after mining a block?

[stray pasture]

Are systems not already global?

[surreal flame]

i thought so however i have a damage prevent system and it works in the default world, porting to an unloaded world and then from there nothing gets fired

[stray pasture]

Permissions module should get ya something.

[stray pasture]

I have no clear understanding of what you mean. Porting to an unloaded world?

[sweet bronze]

Go to hytalemodding. dev, section customizing-camera-controls

[keen pecan]

thanks!

[arctic mist]

All systems are Global, they work on all the world threads. Which system is your DamagePreventSystem extending from?

[surreal flame]

DamageEventSystem

[opaque idol]

if anyone needs to replace entire classes or inject patches in hytale server jar in runtime (like papermc or forge) use the com.hypixel.hytale.plugin.early.ClassTransformer

been recoding the entire hytale server jar to support 300+ players in one world and got really great results

[stray pasture]

Tested? Or theoretical?

[surreal flame]

when hitting a player in the hub world is see debug spitting out logs then i teleport with

Teleport teleport = new Teleport(destWorld, targetPos, targetRot);
store.addComponent(ref, Teleport.getComponentType(), teleport);

and the teleporting works sind (i preload the chunk where i teleport the player to)

hitting one there doesnt trigger any debug log from it. maybe i register it wrong idk

[rain spindle]

Do you have a solution? I can't get the server to run. It's running on Synology DSM with Docker, using the Hytale server. services:
Nevertheless, the following error occurs: java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to create HytaleServe

[west elk]

Not enough information

[stray pasture]

Could be an auth issue, could be a config issue. Etc

[rain spindle]

@west elk I wanted to add more information, but unfortunately it's being blocked.

Is there a working plugin that hides players on the map and compass after the last update yet?

[opaque idol]

no players map i think

[surreal flame]

im sorry for being stupid omg .... yeah its global but when the loaded world has pvp of by default well even when i hit a player of course nothing is triggered 😛

[summer ibex]

Noplayersonmap? Hasn't been updated yet

[gusty socket]

do you intend to share this system when you feel like it's in a good state?

[balmy delta]

Anyone know how to import image in a server file?

[opaque idol]

im being paid to develop this so idk if the owner will share one day

[jolly relic]

What? Explain better

[thorny minnow]

Is this worth your time if they're already working on optimisations on their end?

[gusty socket]

aw bummer, that would be very good for the server community

[balmy delta]

in the creative tool

[opaque idol]

they gon take 1-3 months

[gusty socket]

ofc it's worth his time if they're paying him for it 😛

[opaque idol]

the owner needs 300 player support now

[thorny minnow]

What exactly was it that you were optimising

[opaque idol]

everything. im pretty much forking hytale server jar entirely on start like a mod loader so it dont run out the license

[gusty socket]

uhhh, be careful with that. if you're distributing hytale code and taking payment for it, you are very likely in breach of license.

[opaque idol]

im not

[stray pasture]

This is impressive. First that fact that you had 300 friends to test with, but more that you got that type of performance 😄

[opaque idol]

i edit the hytale code in runtime

[opaque idol]

testing with 60 bots and using 3% of cpu

[jolly relic]

better if i don't ask about it

[stray pasture]

Network load is being tested or just general resource consumption?

[opaque idol]

the server owner dont asked me to optimize network only resource

[jolly relic]

Alright, already fixed my problem. Had to use extends PlayerEvent<String> and call it with a dispatcher and some stuff

[unkempt musk]

What optimizations did you implement?

[stray pasture]

That maybe something to take into account depending if you're relaying this data to users, butnif its purely server side its no worry

[opaque idol]

its general code optimization. hytale has a lot of small problems like iterating over 60k blocks every second

[fringe ether]

Which cpu is the most important for the 30+ online players active survival server? More cores/threads or higher GHz? (for Hytale)

[opaque idol]

AI is a good assistant for me. i can focus on main things like fixing hytale code while it does whatever i ask on side

[thorny minnow]

chat gpt v1 is the best imo

[opaque idol]

claude

[stray pasture]

Yeah, there voxel implementation feels a little rough. Just some micro improvements seems to really do the trick

[opaque idol]

i just let the ego go and optimized everything from noise to fluid

[opaque idol]

pmo

[stray pasture]

All of the above.

Cores will get you so far, voxel data is heavy so you need to chomp through it

He doesnt have the option. Not his code to own.

[alpine creek]

How to get coords of the block?
I have such method args:
override fun tick(
dt: Float,
index: Int,
@Nonnull archetypeChunk: ArchetypeChunk<ChunkStore>,
@Nonnull store: Store<ChunkStore>,
@Nonnull commandBuffer: CommandBuffer<ChunkStore>
)

And I check block in debug "archetypeChunk.components", it have two component: BlockModule.BlockStateInfo, PlacedByInteractionComponent

[stray pasture]

Depends on your stress levels. 🙃

[thorny minnow]

coords are stored in Vector3i object

[green tendon]

you know how to make an arena? a place where people on the spots can watch the match, while the one down can fight, the one on the spots cant fight between them, i want even to give them some standard kits when they join inside the arena, but they can't leave with these kits, how i can do it?

[alpine creek]

And Vector3i stored in? 😄

[thorny minnow]

When are you looking to get the coords, are you doing it in an event or through a command?

[alpine creek]

On entity tick EntityTickingSystem<ChunkStore>()

[fringe ether]

16 cores / 32 threads with 4.2 GHz. Is this good?

Plenty.

4.2 is very nice

[west elk]

you probably have the ui file in the wrong folder or are not using the correct path to load it

Hey guys, not exactly a plugin question, more of a server/world setup thing.

I’m using Admin Portals + TP2World and I’m trying to run multiple worlds (hub + separate game mode maps). I downloaded a Skyblock map and dropped the world folder into universe/worlds/. When I run tp2world Skyblock it does send me to a world called Skyblock, but it looks like a freshly generated random seed (no Skyblock build), so it feels like it’s creating a new world instead of loading the map I downloaded.

What’s the correct way to add/import multiple maps on a server, and what am I doing wrong with the folder setup?

[pine ermine]

hello guys, do you have any ideas if we have a native solution to share assets across a CDN ?
if you have 100 mini-games server, with the SAME assets, instead of adding load to the 100 servers, can't you just share it through a CDN, like exposed S3 bucket ?

[west elk]

Not yet. Assets currently can only be downloaded directly from the server

But it's on their radar

[pine ermine]

where is the roadmap ?

Fluid chunks look like they cant generate fast enough, almost as a blocking operation. I had this and ended up allocating more resources.

Two things to try, drop your chunk distance to 6 -12 and try again or give more resources

I'm working with Kotlin, is there anything I need to consider

[old token]

have we figured out how to actually make the verification stick instead of having to authenticate every restart?

[thick fox]

Working on my own Proxy implementation, and noticed you made one.
Looking at your project, I couldn't figure out how your code is getting through the JWT validation.

Was wondering if you could share additional insight into this specifically. Thank you!

I attempted to message your directly, but you have direct message off

[west elk]

/auth persistence Encrypted
That writes your account token into a file on disk that the server reads on startup

[west elk]

Are you running the server in a docker container without an /etc/machine-id? Make sure to mount it

[old token]

yea its running in a feather panel docker container

[west elk]

Yeah. Mount your host's machine id file into the container

then it will work

[merry harbor]

How can i make so what the player destroys goes directly to his inventory?

[old token]

theres a mod for that

[merry harbor]

how is it called?

[karmic night]

No idea how but loading a random other plugin into my mods folder seems to have fixed the issue of my plugin not loading

[vague galleon]

Hello 🙂
I'm trying to add custom loot if an entity dies from a specific weapon.
I can't figure out which class I need to extend to capture the death event of that entity.
Can you help me?
Thanks 🙂

[dusky bobcat]

I feel like that would be in the onDeathSystem but I havent tinkered around with it to tell you for sure

[vague galleon]

Thanks 🙂
I'm started modding, and I don't really understand architecture. Can I get the player who killed this NPC with this event ?

[ripe mango]

how can I change the config.json?

[jaunty vale]

Sup nerds! I am trying to add permissions to individual players to use SimpleClaims. I can only get the SC interface to populate when I am set as OP on the server. Is there a command I need to send to the server to add permissions to only SC or does any player need to be OP'd in order to use SimpleClaims?

[ashen sundial]

I made a new block with a new blockstate , everything works fine on my dev server when i start it via intellij but when i try it on a root or world in the menu with my mod the value of the state is always 1 , i have no clue why it saves on my dev server and persists but not on the other world. Does anyone have an idea ?

[jaunty vale]

There is a setting baked into HyTale for this

[torpid loom]

Is there a good way to let a plugin access another plugin's Json file?
I have my own older and file inside ressources.
But Im struggling to figure out how to send data or file paths accross plugins for compatibility.

You can get it from the DeathComponent by using: Damage deathInfo = component.getDeathInfo(); Source damageSource = deathInfo.getSource(); if (damageSource instanceof player)

That might work. Again, I havent tested it so I dont know forsure

[west elk]

there we go, the owner of the hytale process doesn't have the necessary file permissions 👍

[ripe mango]

How can I change the server settings, because i am not able to edit the config.json file

[west elk]

No, nothing to worry about. If you want to give the jvm a little boost, you can do a training run and generate an AOT cache for your environment. But in the majority of cases, it's really only a minor improvement. Java's JIT will be just fine without it

[west elk]

What do you mean by you're not able to edit the config?

[arctic mist]

Each plugin has its own Data Directory, if you can get the Plugin Reference from the PluginManager, you should be able to get the DataDirectory and from there read it

[torpid loom]

Thank you. Im gonna look into this

[ripe mango]

I do not know how to do it via the console

[west elk]

It's a file

[bright pelican]

Anyone worked out how to get and teleport a specific type of entity? Like rabbits for example?

[ripe mango]

how can i open the file?

[west elk]

with your favorite text editor of your choice

[west elk]

Create a Teleport component and attach it to the entitiy

[bright pelican]

Thanks for the response.
I can do the teleport part so far, but I am stuck trying to get a specific entity!
Like I can teleport a player on sign in or command, but I can't loop through an entity store and get a rabbit to apply a teleport to.

[rotund rune]

why my assets names are not loading in game? other players can see them fine, just bought and installed the game

[hybrid fern]

Try restarting your game and/or the server. Live lang file changes work a little bit janky at the moment

[broken dragon]

question if I wanted to swap a block with a different one, would it be better to remove the old one and copy the transform to the new one or replace all the components except for the transform?

[mighty bloom]

Does anyone know of a way to modify items and what interactions an item has within a plugin?

[broken dragon]

you add and remove components or modify the properties

[random briar]

hypixel pwease add this ip ban in the game 👉 👈 🥰

[broken dragon]

the server usually needs to reboot to update the lang files

[opaque cape]

Nah Mac Address better

IP can easily be reset if you know what you're doing

[west elk]

Mac addresses are self-reported

and isn't it only visible to the next network device?

[loud osprey]

anyone plz im going crazy trying to figure this out?

[glacial wedge]

i had this issue too, i found the fix

[loud osprey]

do tell

[undone dock]

What is the best way to set up a development environment with decompiled server file available to search, a localhost server that can be run from the IDE and a template plugin with some default classes?

[west elk]

Kaupenjoe/Hytale-Example-Plugin or Build-9/Hytale-Example-Project for example

[sharp lake]

is there a real wahy to know if any item is of type helmet

[undone dock]

I tried the kaupenjoe one but as soon as i clone it it is broken

[narrow vapor]

Can I run code when a player takes fall damage?

[sharp lake]

you can listen to the damage system event

[narrow vapor]

How do I listen for events from that class?

[finite crane]

I use the maven one. Works well for me.

[sharp lake]

make a class that extends damagesystem i think

[west elk]

That's not enough information for us to help you debug

[sharp lake]

anyone know how i can get the category or type of itemstack???

[undone dock]

Yeah because discord keeps flagging my error message as "advertising" 😭

and i cant send an image

[undone dock]

I sent a friend request

}

[finite crane]

It has no block in it. It's not able to place just an item.

[loud osprey]

how do i add that then?

[finite crane]

Look at how the base game does it in the asset editor, or by opening one of the block jsons.

[loud osprey]

this?
"BlockType": {
"Material": "Solid",
"DrawType": "Cube",
"Group": "Stone",
"Flags": {},
"Gathering": {
"Breaking": {
"GatherType": "Rocks",
"ItemId": "Rock_Stone_Cobble"
}

[finite crane]

Yes, just make sure you set the right stuff for what you want to make.

[ornate raven]

is it possible to animate a block like example a chest float in the sky & rotate & make it open the head

default hytale chests

[west elk]

you'd have to make a bunch of adjustments to the model and animations

[ornate raven]

is animations made in blockbench

[west elk]

yes

make sure to install the Hytale plugin

[ornate raven]

is there way to make a animation client sided

only plays for one player not everoyne

[west elk]

probably with some packet magic, yeah

[ornate raven]

okay thanks

[rose atlas]

interesting

[mighty bloom]

I'm very confused at this statement what would components have to do with the interaction and interactionvars of an item?
Item.getAssetMap().getAsset(item.itemInHandId)
I have the item but it seems the interactions of an item are all protected so I didnt know if anyone had figured out a way to update what interaction an item had via java

[vernal niche]

You are trying to access https via http

[north current]

How do I turn drops off on death?

For some reason its not in my world config

[vernal niche]

It's not in there by default. Lemme see if I can find a guide where that's listed in

[north current]

thank you

[proper jolt]

so this may seem slightly silly but I just wanna kinda check in case someone else has seen this and already knows (Save myself some testing time)- if I create multiple lang files will the plugin system automatically sort through those? (IE server.lang and ui.lang working side by side instead of just throwing all my translations into one file?)

[vernal niche]

It's in this guide of ours. It's written for our interface but the relevant config section is still in there https://server.nitrado.net/en-GB/guides/how-to-configure-death-penalty-settings-on-your-hytale-server

[north current]

ty

[finite crane]

99% sure it will use them all.

[proper jolt]

Thank you! I'll play around with that then :D make things a bit tidier

[ripe mango]

do you have to change settings to get more RAM from the server or is it regulated automatically?

[west elk]

It's the jvm startup parameters

[void gust]

QUICK QUESTION, how can i get the local player of a single player server instance?

or do i say, NEED to like, make them run a command

[hushed totem]

How do you determine if an entity is passive or hostile?

[sinful storm]

Anyone found any decent way that doesn't require enslaving friends to test stuff that needs other player?

The game's DRM makes it really painful, doesn't allow multi-client, not even offline!

[void gust]

I want a way that I can (on mod load) do a basic greeting message for testing

[hushed totem]

Universe.get().getPlayer...

[rose atlas]

my hytale server shows a 6019% load average, doing nothing???

[hushed totem]

Welcome to early release 🙂

[rose atlas]

xD

[rose atlas]

is griefdefender coming to hytale or no

[hushed totem]

Yes, already got a good portion done. Just learning the platform to finish it up.

[void gust]

alr nice, is there a "onWorldLoad" override or so?

[hushed totem]

Need more context...what do you mean?

[void gust]

like, code that runs on world load, so I can:
Initialize the plugin
Wait for the world to load
then, on load, get the players and send a message to all them

[hushed totem]

oh so you mean world load event

Use StartWorldEvent

ex..

plugin.getEventRegistry().registerGlobal(StartWorldEvent.class, this::onWorldLoad);

[void gust]

so would i do this in the initializer?

[hushed totem]

for the above code yes

or register it any other way you see fit

[void gust]

would i extend the other class to StartWorldEvent?
Also it cant seem to find this::onWorldLoad

[violet matrix]

you would create that method

[lucid spire]

is there a system for arrow impact?

[void gust]

alr

[hushed totem]

I haven't looked into it yet but I would assume its handled by collisions/projectiles. So look for that

[void gust]

how do i make a proper manifest.json?

I cant seem to get my mod to show

oh wait nvm

[past shale]

what is the difference between the Server and Common folders

[hushed totem]

Common = Server/Client like ui files etc

[ornate raven]

say we making a chest

server would have his json for what icon png what model etc

common would be the model icon png etc texture

[void gust]

    public static void onWorldLoad(StartWorldEvent startWorldEvent) {
        for (PlayerRef player : Universe.get().getPlayers()) {
            EventTitleUtil.showEventTitleToPlayer(
                    player,
                    Message.raw("Test"),
                    Message.raw("If this works\nThen :3"),
                    true
            );
        }
    }

Whats wrong here?
(Note: It doesnt show at all)

[sharp pumice]

anyone know how to make the player invisible?

[ornate raven]

do you register event?

[void gust]

public class ilo_lawa extends JavaPlugin {
    
    public ilo_lawa(@Nonnull JavaPluginInit init) {
        super(init);
    }

    @Override
    protected void setup() {
        super.setup();
        this.getEventRegistry().registerGlobal(StartWorldEvent.class, open_la::onWorldLoad);
    }
}

i am yea

[ornate raven]

problaby onworldload it going to be fast so player wont be able to see it add a delay or use something like AddPlayerToWorldEvent
⁨⁨⁨```
this.getScheduler().runTaskLater(this, () -> {
for playerref part

    if this works message part
    }, 40L);

[hushed totem]

StartWorldEvent is fired before any players are added. Thats how World load events have always worked and wouldnt make sense otherwise

so yes use AddPlayerToWorldEvent if you want to trigger some logic the moment a player is added to a world

[arctic mist]

If is the only world in the Universe/Server, then nobody will be able to see it. Probably the ⁨getPlayers⁩ is returning an empty array

[hushed totem]

It shows nothing because as I said above, its fired during server world load so there will never be players

[ornate raven]

which class was scheduler?

[arctic mist]

If is the only world, yeah, if there are multiple worlds and there are already players in the other worlds, it will show.

[hushed totem]

You should use PlayerReadyEvent if this is a one time logic run regardless of a world

[void gust]

i swapped to that, no dice

[hushed totem]

Oh sure because hes using Universe.get().getPlayers() instead of cycling through worlds. Missed that bit. Still horrible place for that logic 🙂

[hushed totem]

? The player is literally given to you in the event

[void gust]

okay nvm i forgot to reload the mod 😭

[hushed totem]

Would be nice if hytale organized all events in a central package rather than scattered across many

[void gust]

it'd be nice if there was a javadoc

[hushed totem]

sure but I am still impressed at the API for an early access game. It will only get better

I still cannot locate any entity components to determine if an entity is hostile or passive....

Guess I am blind

[mellow flume]

how can I execute a command ("/data admin set) as OP? The "data admin set" requires OP but my new command doesn't

⁨⁨``` @Override
protected void executeSync(@Nonnull CommandContext commandContext) {
Player player = commandContext.senderAs(Player.class);
String data = dataArg.get(commandContext);

    player.sendMessage(Message.raw("Permission granted. setting `data to " + data + "..."));

    try {
        CommandManager.get().handleCommand(player,
                "data admin set " + player.getDisplayName() + " " + data);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        player.sendMessage(Message.raw("Error executing data command: " + e.getMessage()));
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}```⁩⁩

[ornate raven]

look into npc doc maybe you can find there

[mellow flume]

I found, use ConsoleSender.INSTANCE instead of player in handleCommand function

[hushed totem]

Yes, ConsoleSender.INSTANCE is essentially MinecraftServer for Hytale 🙂

[hushed totem]

hrmm I see

 DefaultPlayerAttitude (Stable)

    The default attitude of this NPC towards players
    Type: Flag, Optional (Default: HOSTILE), Computable
    Flag Values:
        HOSTILE: is hostile towards the target
        REVERED: reveres the target
        FRIENDLY: is friendly towards the target
        IGNORE: is ignoring the target
        NEUTRAL: is neutral towards the target

lets see what i find now 🙂

[opaque cape]

When is REVERED and IGNORE used lmao

[hushed totem]

Found answer. Thanks!. Not a fan of the naming convention for this but to each their own i guess

What popped up in server logs when it crashed?

[void gust]

is there a list of all the blockTypeKeys?

[ornate raven]

wtm

[arctic mist]

Probably its a bot, once the Server starts the Player Join server workflow (Setup,Add to World, Etc) the bot disconnects to avoid being loaded. Probably is trying to fload the default world thread

[void gust]

public void setBlock(
    int x,
    int y,
    int z,
    String blockTypeKey
)```

[hushed totem]

Check the AssetMap registry

[ornate raven]

which setblock is this simpleblockplacing one?

[arctic mist]

You might be able to ban it using the UUID (the logs should have it). After that, on the PlayerSetup event it will throw it away from the Server itself. That's outside any world thread I believe

[void gust]

thats just what it's called idk which one that is LOL

[stoic swan]

is there a playerMoveEventSystem? or some event to detect player movement

[arctic mist]

That should do, if the player stills tries to connect and causes issues (since the event is after Netty capabilities), you can do 2 thinks, create or use a plugin for banning users with their IP (it should happen at the Netty phase so it doesnt even reach the Hytale Server), or just grab the IP of the account and ban it directly from your Server Firewall (Deny access to that IP). That way he can not reach your server with that IP

[hushed totem]

Nothing as efficient as Spigot/Paper/Forge. You would have to handle it in tick or write your own system.

[stoic swan]

thank you!

[ornate raven]

anyone here know how to cancel pickup event (rubble,flower etc not itempickup)

[bold helm]

has anyone been able to setup a custom block interaction that opens a custom ui?

[hushed totem]

I would think players like this are smart enough to use proxy and constantly change IP. However, sometimes it all originates from same subnet so you could just ban the entire range (assuming its in a location you dont mind banning). Still, smart actors should have a range of subnets too 🙂

[stoic swan]

yup

just add an interaction type USE , then interactions type OpenCustomUI

"Interactions": {
"Use": {
"Interactions": [
{
"Type": "OpenCustomUI"
}
],
"Cooldown": {
"Cooldown": 1
}
},

[void gust]

weird, cant seem to get this working

    public static void onWorldStart(StartWorldEvent worldStartEvent) {
        World w = worldStartEvent.getWorld();
        for (int i = 0; i < 128; i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < 128; j++) {
                for (int k = 0; k < 128; k++) {
                    w.setBlock(i, j, k, "Cloth_Block_Wool_Black");
                }
            }
        }
    }

[arctic mist]

Yeah, IP ban its just a small "Stop sign", if they want to mess with the server, they can just change IPs and regions whenever they feel like. The best way would be to detect the Player at the Netty phase and reject the connection from there

The second option is setting up a firewall for this kind of behaviors (constant connections from the same source/packages) to block them after N tries.

[sleek birch]

watch out for player Ariorh, they are exploiting and causing server instability. Banning the player seems to work

its a bot account attacking sevral servers

[arctic mist]

If that's the case, try checking your server firewall if it has regional detection, if so, only allow connections from your Region. That way you pretty much decrease the attack surface to just people in your region (or VPN of your region)

[ornate raven]

is description & summary editable after publish mod in curseforge?

[sleek birch]

would love to see a way to report accounts like this

[arctic mist]

But definetly a Netty thing should be your second stop for anyone jumping the region block

[hushed totem]

Did anything come out in the server log other than connect/disconnect?

[arctic mist]

You could provide feedback on that. They should patch as well the bug the account is using to cause server inestability (AddPlayerToWorldEvent and PlayerDisconnect)

[arctic mist]

ITs a bug of the ChunkLoader, it tries to check if the Chunk the player is in is loaded but once the player disconnects, the reference gets deleted and the method throws a NPE, causing the server to crash. Tho it has to be frame perfect I believe

[void gust]

???

Do I not do it there or something?

I figured doing it onWorldStart would make sense, but i cant seem to get anything working

Nor can I figure out what "keys" to use

[fiery lodge]

Anyone here figured out how to create custom block components yet?

I ended up finding an amazing guide over on hytalemodding<dot>dev 😄

That site is quickly becoming my goto for asking questions 😛

I wish i could thank the creators of that gitup pages site, its been extremely useful!

now i did run into an issue. I dont want my tile entity component to run against players in creative. How do i get the player's gamemode?

[finite crane]

You might want to check the base game source code for that.

[fiery lodge]

I figured lol. I was hoping someone would know off the top of their head 😛

Ill just see what the gamemode command is doing to achieve this

I do have a thing called QuickHYCache which allows for fast and easy searching of the hytale sourcecode and assets for file name and file content references. It can search everything for it within 0.1 seconds. Its also a webpage xD
Im considering uploading it to github pages possibly 😛

The caveat is that it loads a relatively chonky cache file into the webpage

[hushed totem]

Literally player.getGameMode()

[fiery lodge]

I tried looking at that... One sec let me try again....

I didnt see it earlier when i tried calling it XD

getGameMode does not exist

i tried to target the player from Universe.get().getPlayer(UUID).getGameMode() < does not exist
I tried playerRef.getGameMode() < does not exist

[hushed totem]

Player != PlayerRef

[fiery lodge]

I know, i tried both xD i think im being stupid lol! how are you calling it?

funny, i used my quick cache to scan the source and found it inside the Player.java file. There is in fact a method "getGameMode"

[hushed totem]

Player playerComponent = store.getComponent(ref, Player.getComponentType());

[fiery lodge]

So now the question is: how do i get it xD
nevermind you answered it before slowmode disabled 😛

thanks so much 😄

It compiled without errors! @hushed totem Youre the goat! 😄 thanks

Darn! XD

It errored because of how and where i was running it 😛

Im running it in a custom block component's tick method

lol!

It did not like this line:
Player playerComponent = (Player) store.getComponent(Objects.requireNonNull(playerRef.getReference()), Player.getComponentType());

Specifically: the store.getComponent.

I have to figure out how to get the correct store now 😛

Ah! it extends to CommandSender, which im assuming means it can only run in commands. rip!

[hushed totem]

         Ref<EntityStore> ref = targetPlayerRef.getReference();
         if (ref != null && ref.isValid()) {
            Store<EntityStore> store = ref.getStore();
            World world = store.getExternalData().getWorld();
            world.execute(
               () -> {
                  Player playerComponent = store.getComponent(ref, Player.getComponentType());
...

[fiery lodge]

Thx! ill try t his 🙂

[hushed totem]

if you are already running on world thread then skip that bit

[fiery lodge]

I figured lol! and yes its already running within it 😄
I merged it into the code now to test 🙂

[hushed totem]

you are using store not playerstore

[fiery lodge]

ah crap! lmao! good catch 😛

<facepalm into desk>

woo! it works 😄 thx 🙂

[stuck mesa]

Oh Hello

[fiery lodge]

NOW i can finally complete my configurable teleporter event block 😛

[fiery lodge]

👋🏻

[void gust]

how big is a chunk in hytale?
(no idea why i specified this game LOL)

[fiery lodge]

32x32

[finite crane]

The height is roughly 412 blocks I think.

[void gust]

question, is there a way i can quickly copy block data/paste block data?
so I can avoid calling set bock many times?

Eg. for coded (in server java) structures

[fiery lodge]

Yes, you use components

Components are how blocks save/load data, and even with copy/paste 🙂

Just be sure you update the copy method in the block component to copy the values so you can copy/paste it 😄

I went down a rabit hole today trying to create a custom component lol!

[void gust]

alr, also is there any chart anywhere for blockIDs?
So I can know what is what, i know 0 is air

[fiery lodge]

It was EXACTLY the same situation i was trying to resolve 😛

Blocks dont have blockIDs, they have names.

[distant stream]

is it possible to prevent a interaction when a item is broken?\

[fiery lodge]

You can see them inside the game when you hover over an item with developer mode enabled in the settings

[fiery lodge]

define broken

[void gust]

com.hypixel.hytale.server.core.universe.world.accessor.BlockAccessor

public boolean setBlock(
    int x,
    int y,
    int z,
    int id
)

[distant stream]

durability = 0

[fiery lodge]

ah, then i dont know what to tell you there xD

I used this snipplet here to set a block:
world.setBlock(globalX + 1, localY, globalZ, "Rock_Ice");

[void gust]

I'm doing this because i couldnt figure out how to get that to plot LOL

    static void setBlock_manual(int x, int y, int z, int id) {
        try {
            w.getChunkAsync(x/32, z/32).get().setBlock(x%32, y, z%32, id);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        } catch (ExecutionException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
    }

[fiery lodge]

There may be a component for that within the item 🙂

You have to execute it with a world. One second, ill give you a working snupplet to use

[hushed totem]

dont get me started on the asset naming 🙂

[void gust]

Thats one reason I'd rather use integers

[fiery lodge]

                        world.execute(() -> {
                            int xInWorld = 512;
                            int yInWorld = 33;
                            int zInWorld = 311;
                            String block = "Rock_Ice";
                            world.setBlock(xInWorld, yInWorld, zInWorld, block);
                        });

[void gust]

Also because I feel doing string comparisons with a ton of blocks would be slow

[fiery lodge]

i mean, you could use a switch case, its a lot faster but still not great xD

i mean. If at the end of the day its stupid and it works.... is it really stupid? 😛

There are a million and 1 ways to do things with modding. Thats the beauty of it! everyone has their own style and preference, its what makes you you!
Dont feel ashamed of your code if it looks dumb! you made it! it works! 😄

Thats more than 99% of the players on the game 😛

Most people dont even begin to try programming sadly! I grew up back when the only way to learn programming was from a textbook XD

👴🏻

My teleporter worked 😄

I can configure it in creative mode with a custom HTML GUI (thanks to HYGUI) :D:D:D

I love HTML and i am so glad i get to put it to use :D:D

I even have it loading from a custom HTML file in the resources 😛

[hushed totem]

cloth_block_wool_blue furniture_dungeon_chest_epic

not a fan of the naming

[fiery lodge]

Facts!
The naming convention could DEFINITELY use some standardization and a onceover. Even if they had some sort of tabable menu to go through it it would be easier.

[hushed totem]

minecraft did it better with the tag system yet Hytale dumps it all into the identifier which is just messy

In this case furniture shouldn't be in the id at all.

[stark tulip]

Yay

[fiery lodge]

I agree lol!

Welp, im done modding for the day 😛 ive hit my daily limit, and my goal of figuring out how to create and assign custom block components 😄

Tomorrow ill tackle the saving/loading issue.

Good night everyone! Thanks again @hushed totem for helping me figure out the player gamemode detection piece, i didnt want to teleport players in creative mode so they could interact with the block to configure it xD

[strong musk]

block ids are fine to store in integers, provided you arent hard coding them
as long as you look them up by a less volatile means like a string on server startup and cache the result, I see no problem with ita

[void gust]

i see, where would i look up the Block -> int ID map

The string based command just crashes, because im doing a rather large chunk of land

[strong musk]

Idk, I know it exists, I just know that hard coding integer block ids(that can be changed at any moment) into code is a really bad idea

[void gust]

not really, if the data you are loading has int values you expect

[strong musk]

yes, its a very bad idea if you never verify that your ints match up

[void gust]

which is why you wouldnt do that

you would first verify before hardcoding, which is why I wanted a list
