Hi, is there any tool that can help remove chunk block components for blocks that do not exist?
I'm gettting errors like this:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown key! EcoTale_Quest_Board

From BlockEntitySystems tick

[brave mural]

Any recommendations on how to create nice particles? Is there a live view of one or something

[rotund monolith]

You could make a NPC or Item to spawn the particle effect you are working on.

[ruby arrow]

Is there any way to keep the chunk active at all times, even when there are no players on the server?

[fresh lintel]

@brave mural there is a editor created by CyberAxe. I think it is called VFXTale or something (can't look it up atm)

[tranquil raft]

I have a realy aquad problem i have a function that can be called from a
ChunkStore a EntityStore system or interaction
i require both buffers a chunkStore buffer and a entity store buffer since both systhestems could add a Entity or a Block or both
how can i properly get a chunkStore buffer in a EntityStore system or the other way around?

[brave mural]

Ill check it out thanks!

[hoary viper]

How can i render a selected area in hytale like add a halite around it in deffrent color, like a transprant cube

[tranquil raft]

for debugging purposes?

[hoary viper]

No, to like marke an area in game

[tranquil raft]

hmmm this might not be the right usecase but you could use debug shapes for that

DebugUtils.addCube(world, matrix, color, 10.0F, 5.0F, flags);

[sterile forum]

I think that is the use case we got right now.

[ruby arrow]

Is there a way to use Java code to add a label to a menu that wasn't there before, or to create a custom UI component and add it via code?

[sterile forum]

you could do strange things with a blocky model and scale it, but then you wouldn't have any transparency support.

[sterile forum]

yeah you use the same type of selector logic for when you would get a value or set a value for a named element to figure out where you want to add stuff, but use it to do a clear if you need to remove existing children for the element, and and add logic for the new ui object. buuz or whats they where named again, have a admin ui on git hub that show how one could modify it, i think that the modding documentation might have it as well.

[copper wyvern]

You can define whole UI in code for example with UiManager.
It manages UI updates for you as well.

[sterile forum]

thats the name uinmanager.

[hasty falcon]

Usually you would use the forEachChunk call. They exist in either type of stores.

public class MyEntitySystem extends EntityTickingSystem<EntityStore> {

    @Override
    public void tick(float dt, int index,
                     @Nonnull ArchetypeChunk<EntityStore> chunk,
                     @Nonnull Store<EntityStore> store,
                     @Nonnull CommandBuffer<EntityStore> commandBuffer) { // EntityStore buffer

        World world = store.getExternalData().getWorld();

        // Reading from chunkstore (no CommandBuffer needed)
        Ref<ChunkStore> blockRef = BlockModule.getBlockEntity(world, x, y, z);

        // WRITE to ChunkStore => forEachChunk gives ChunkStore command buffer
        Store<ChunkStore> chunkStore = world.getChunkStore().getStore();
        chunkStore.forEachChunk(someBlockQuery, (blockChunk, chunkstoreCommandBuffer) -> {
            // CommandBuffer<ChunkStore>
            chunkstoreCommandBuffer.removeEntity(blockRef, RemoveReason.REMOVE);
        });
    }
}

This also works exactly the same the other way around for ChunkStore systems. EntityStore from World -> forEachChunk call on entity command buffer.

how do you edit more then one prefab in a prefab edit world

[lone crag]

dang, i thought i had the blocky vehicles mod working. i got the maim bench to open and can craft the parts, but i dont know how to fix missing gui for the steering wheel😭

[verbal wasp]

Good Morning guys, if youre using "drop all" in world settings, is it possible to create a few items that cant be dropped? because the flag dropOnDeath dont work in this case

[neat pelican]

You'll probably have to re-implement DeathSystems.DropPlayerDeathItems

[verbal wasp]

Yeah i though theres a way where i dont need todo that xD

[tranquil raft]

yes i know about this but if i use this i have to provide some form of query that may or may not execute depending on what i query for or it could run multiple times without needing to

[hasty falcon]

Hmm. Not sure if there is another good way. Seems kind of inherent to the ECS design. You always have to run on some query whether it's the system itself or other calls. I've optimized by using delayed tick system or just caching chunks or entities that I already processed.

[night meteor]

Hi guys, i'm really new to coding in Hytale and Java. I'm trying to program a chest-based player shop plugin. I've just reached the point where I'm trying to retrieve items from the selected shop chest. Unfortunately, I'm currently stuck on how to get the chest component. My method currently looks like this:

` @Nullable
public ItemContainer getItemContainer(@Nonnull World world) {
long chunkIndex = ChunkUtil.indexChunkFromBlock(x, z);
var chunk = world.getChunkIfLoaded(chunkIndex);
if (chunk == null) return null;

    var holder = chunk.getBlockComponentHolder(x, y, z);
    if (holder == null) return null;


    return holder.getComponent(   );
}`

[sterile forum]

A holder if it is of the class type Holder is a type class used to create new entities of its type, a blueprint one could say.
Is that what you intend to read a raw unmodified blueprint version for the block?

That said i could be wrong and blocks does it differently.

[night meteor]

I'm trying to read the chest's contents so I can use them later (e.g., remove items, etc.)

[sterile forum]

I am not sure if any of this is right.

But I would probably consider going with
var block = world.GetBlock(x,y,z);

and then somehow try to get the storage component trough the block somehow.

var blockStore = block.getStore();
var blockRef = block.getReference();
InventoryComponent.Storage storage = blockStore.getComponent(blockRef, InventoryComponent.Storage.getComponentType());

there is probably a diffrent way to get the store and probably a different way to get the ref.

i haven't poked that much and the ChunkStore yet.

[sterile forum]

Ah det was a difference.

DaniDipp always got the magic sprinkles to save us from our own ignorance. 🙂

[neat pelican]

Just remembered that something similar came up before

[sterile forum]

Yeah. feels like one of the most common.

Thats good I am going to need that tonight to try to implement the item moving intestines.

[night meteor]

Thank you and thank @Space for your help 😃

[civic tendon]

hey guys i need some advice

how i can freeze player movement and rotation and use player as camera
for example - replaymod in minecraft

[woeful pulsar]

Hey,
Am I correct by saying that the IsValid()method that needs to be used on Refs does 2 checks behind the scenes to return a boolean and those checks are :

• Check if the variable (pointer) is null
• Check if the variable (pointer) is on the list of theGarbageCollector to be collected and cleaned

If one of the two or both are true, IsValid() will return false.

Is this correct or is there more to it or does it work totally differently please ?

[sick ridge]

Hey, does anyone know the proper way to execute an existing command (like /setblocks) from a plugin?

[neat pelican]

Yeah: CommandManager.get().handleCommand()

But for flexibility with the Builder tools, you can call the BuilderToolsPlugin directly.

[sterile forum]

I had to look it up.
And in the current version you are wrong.
the default Ref<> behind the scenes only checks if its index into the store is not the mimimum index value as in "no valid index in the store".

But other implementations of IsValid does different things. The PlayerRef that doesn't even implement Ref<> (but probably could be a Ref<PlayerRef>)

does internally check if its interal entity component and holder is not null.

That its not deleted or i garbage collector doesn't mean that the ref is valid.

[woeful pulsar]

could you show me the code for the entity component and holder is not null please ?

[sterile forum]

public boolean isValid() {
  return this.entity != null || this.holder != null;
}```

component or holder not, component and holder i realized.

since having the holder would mean you could create the entity from it.

[woeful pulsar]

it doesn't check for GC ? Why is that ?

[sterile forum]

Because in ECS the Ref is not valid if its not at the right index in the store. When its deleted is a different thing, and nothing you should do or have to care about. If its in the store its valid, and its only in the store if it got a index into the store.

[sterile forum]

And also this is just an assumption on my part, but since ECS uses components, components are data thats identical in its layout.
The object probably still exist after the index is set to a non valid one, and freed at certain condition, and components are probably newed in specific batch strucutures to allow continious layout in memory.

[sterile forum]

Since with all the hands off you get with java and any automagic memory management/GC, is the trade off that they GC might run at terrible times as well.

[hexed glade]

hi what event class do i use to block picking up of sticks?

"Press F to gather pile of sticks"

[neat pelican]

InteractivelyPickupItemEvent

[hexed glade]

been trying to use it, cant get it to work

i can block picking up the item but the pile of sticks on the floor still gets removed

[sterile forum]

You need to make sure your check runs before the default event handler by setting the system dependency to before what ever other system handles the pickup logic/break logic as well.
Or part of their logic might run first.

[hexed glade]

i dont think theres any other system, i only have my own mod in the server

[sterile forum]

The default game systems.

[tribal patrol]

Unfortunately some of the item pickup handlers break the blocks before that event actually happens (and also don't call any block break events doing so...), so I don't think there is a easy work around for that at the moment

[sterile forum]

no you are right

[tribal patrol]

I put in a bug report for it but I'm not sure if there's any updates on that

[sterile forum]

the event exists and is sent but nothing else seem to listen for it.

but yeah thats only the pickup part

[tribal patrol]

I suppose a work around could be placing the block again if cancelled, but its hard to know the location precisely. There's other more hacky work arounds though..

[hexed glade]

ok one last thing, how to detect a mouse left click inside the player inventory/hotbar? like detect if a player clicks an item

PlayerMouseButtonEvent works in inventory orr?

because i think its just on the world

[sterile forum]

you need to connect a event trough the uibuilder to the inventory slot, and handle it based on the results out.

as for the sticks, since they exist in the world they are a block and a block you can gather so you do have the

BlockGathering packet as well, in theory i guess you could try to intercept and change that to prevent the packet going trough at all.

[brave mural]

Does anybody know how i can create a resource for each world?

Like how each world also has like a Time.json in the resources directory? Is that possible ?

[brave mural]

Ahh Found it! When creating a resource just needed to include the codec

[sterile forum]

Allways need a codec is a good rule of thumb.

[sterile forum]

You can link in a chat message, and i think it has to display the full url.

[half roost]

Emotional damage xdxd

[half roost]

I'm currently working on the damage calculation without using the game's vanilla damage types, so I suppose it's the same with respect to adding the new damage behavior.

[lone crag]

trying to find a vid on how to make custom crop recipe, but having no luck

ugh

[quasi echo]

The pain of being early

[lone crag]

what

[quasi echo]

There's no documentation

[lone crag]

wym? cant use the asset editor or something? i just want to grow my own boomshrooms, that drop some essence along with boombags. i copied some .jsons from a bigger mod that is not working anymore. not sure if i found all the things a recipe needs.

[lone crag]

i cant figure out how to use the asset editor to do this..😞

[half roost]

Any reference items?

To understand the concept

[lone crag]

i just want to grow my own boom shrooms.

[half roost]

And simply copy it?

[still yew]

Give this man his boomshrooms

[lone crag]

i though i could copy the .json files and follow how another mod had the folders set up to create a standalone recipe from the original mod, since the one i was following, also only added a single crop. i figured it should be easy to do.i must have missed something because it loads up just fine, but the spore bag doesnt show up in the farmer bench and its not in the creative menu either. im burnt at this point.

[half roost]

Did you see the creation requirements in the item's JSON file? There should be a section that shows the bench needed to obtain it.

[lone crag]

all that is in there from the original mod. farmer bench, tier 3, in the seeds tab.

[half roost]

Hmm, is it the same as in the game, or is it a different table? I mean, does the mod reference its own table, or is it the one from the game? It might be causing problems to have done it directly from the mod.

[lone crag]

i use to do it all the time to make custom recipes in mc, but i guess its not as easy as cut and pasting here

[lone crag]

idk what you mean by referencing its own table.
the mod added boomshroom spores and spore bag and would grow large boomshrooms to harvest. the only custum they added was the spore bag and the spores model

[half roost]

Ah, since you said "big mod," I thought they might have created their own ecosystem of tables, but if it's just one recipe, there shouldn't be a problem. It really depends on how it's being added.

[lone crag]

i have no idea about any of it. and anytime i ask or wacth something, everthing is saaid too fast or vaguely or with the assumption that i have a clue to what the jargon means

i gave up for now, and put it to the side

[lone crag]

no, i meant a mod that had other stuff with it

[vernal saddle]

i'm trying to build a mod in java. i have a UI defined in /src/main/java/com/myself/modname/resources/Common/UI/Custom/Pages/myfile.ui
this line does not cause a crash: $C = "../Common.ui";
but adding a button does cause a crash:

        $C.@TextButton #BtnTest{
            @Anchor = (Width: 180);
            @Text = "Test Button";
        }

any pointers? I feel like its a pathing issue, but the resources I've seen online have not been specific. Thank you!

[heavy magnet]

you need to create a group first

$C = "../Common.ui";
$H = "../HyLib.ui";

@BGCOLOR = #1e3858;
Group{
  Anchor: (Width: 400, Height: 400, Top: 200, Left: 200);
  Background: @BGCOLOR;
  $C.@TextButton #BtnTest{
    @Anchor = (Width: 180);
    @Text = "Test Button";
  }
  $H.@DefContainer {
    #Title {
      Label {

Can a Panel container house a button? My layout is more or less the way i wish: nested panels in panels in a flex grid.

you just go into the world settings in your game and disable it

oh i see he wanted to set it dynamically yeah i dont think that was possible at least not without some real changes

[brave mural]

Yea i found that i can read it like this

var gameplayConfig = worldorld.getGameplayConfig();
      gameplayConfig.getDeathConfig().getItemsLossMode();

That means i need to set it inside the world config json file

cant set it runtime

[quasi echo]

i dont entirely get why u would need to though

[brave mural]

I dont need to set it in runtime. Just trying to figure out how i set it in the config file now

what are you trying to get the mod to do

there might be a better method at least a simpler one

[brave mural]

I have a Guild Mod and each guild has its own guild hall / world and i want that inside the guild you cant loose items when dying. I already have the instance of aworld but i need to set the instance so that loosing items is not a thing when dying

Trying to figure out what the json needs to have for that

[quasi echo]

why not just have that instance save the items and give them back on death

or make it so u cant die there

[brave mural]

Seems way more complicated no ?

If there is like a flag i can just set to true why not use that built in way

[quasi echo]

there likely isnt a flag for it its too early for that sorta in depth mod support

[brave mural]

I literally send this

 var gameplayConfig = world.getGameplayConfig();
 gameplayConfig.getDeathConfig().getItemsLossMode();

public static enum ItemsLossMode {
      NONE,

Does anybody know why the interact system is not triggering for when picking up food with F?

public class InteractEventSystem extends EntityEventSystem<EntityStore, UseBlockEvent.Pre> {

  public InteractEventSystem() {
    super(UseBlockEvent.Pre.class);
  }

  @Override
  public void handle
  (
    final int index, 
    @Nonnull final ArchetypeChunk<EntityStore> archetypeChunk, 
    @Nonnull final Store<EntityStore> store, 
    @Nonnull final CommandBuffer<EntityStore> commandBuffer, 
    @Nonnull final UseBlockEvent.Pre event
  ) 
  {
    
  }

  @Nullable
  @Override
  public Query<EntityStore> getQuery() {
    return Archetype.of(PlayerRef.getComponentType());
  }
}

For example when i click f to open a door this works fine but when there is like cheese on the ground and i press f to pick it up it doesnt trigger it. Any idea why ?

OH ok i found it there is a different event for that: InteractivelyPickupItemEvent

Mhh but i also found out that when cancelling the event it doesnt put back the item from where it was picked up. so it just disapears

Does anybody know how to find out which block the entity is looking at ?

[sterile forum]

the picup item event is just the picking up, it has nothing to do with the breaking of the item as it seems.
there is some event i think that gives you both the block and or entity you look at trough a interaction i think.
But just as a generic tick or anywhere i have no idea.

[elfin lantern]

Is there a way to make a dungeon instanced without having a whole world to download with it? (One of the staff on the server I play on said that what they have seen as a mod or plugin includes a world download. They have developed some dungeons, but they are not instanced, and when people fight in them, decor like plants, pots, boxes and rubble get broken and have to be replaced manually.)

[mossy trail]

Are you actually spawning new worlds for these dungeons somehow? I imagine what you're actually looking for is an "Instance" instead of a world?

[elfin lantern]

Okay, we don't know how to instance a dungeon. I don't know Java, I have not looked into the visual editor, and I'm not staff, but I offered to look into what is necessary. The staff person I've been talking to said that they looked at plugins/mods that are out there that provide an instanced dungeon, but they appear to include a world download. I don't know if they require you to use the world to use the dungeon, or if it's just there to show them an example of the dungeon in use in a world. It's unclear how these are used or if they can be added to an existing world.

If we can add these to an existing world, do they only add the particular dungeon(s) the author made? How do we make a dungeon that, say, a player creates, be instanced in our world?

(Is there any kind of tutorial out there on how to make an instanced dungeon?)

[mossy trail]

Go into creative mode -> press B -> World -> Instances and play around with it. The vanilla game files has examples. You probably want to create an instance of a void world (or something) and then build the actual dungeon in that. Afterwards, you can save it as the "template" world that gets spawned, whenever you make an instance of that template.

If you're saying you want players to be able to build their own dungeons and become instances, then I'm pretty sure you're in custom mod territory.

[elfin lantern]

Well, let's say I were to follow your instructions, then hand this "template" to the staff so they can add it to the world. Is that possible? If so, how would they do that. That's the information I'm looking for.

And, with this template, is this void world part of the template?

@mossy trail

[mossy trail]

I have to admit I can't give you a good workflow as to how to design your template. If you look into your game files Assets.zip, you'll find the Server/Instances folder where the devs already have examples of two different ways to do this. One is where chunks are pre-generated and customized, while another uses a set of prefabs and some world generation.

I don't know the workflow they use to build those.

[quasi echo]

I wasn't thinking honestly I was about asleep 😂

[elfin lantern]

Well, thank you for the information you've given, it's at least a place to start.

[mossy trail]

I looked into it. It does seem like instances you spawn in-game are saved and inside the folder, seems to be everything you need to use it as a template going forward, if you zip it up and give to the admins.

So you can run a local server, create a void instance (or whatever you want to base it on) and then build the actual dungeon inside it and pass the final files to the admins. You can then use the instance system to spawn a new one of it, every time.

[elfin lantern]

Thank you.

[half roost]

Good evening, I'd like to ask about fall damage. I'm testing a mod that, under certain conditions, gives me millions of health, but it seems the fall damage only takes away 1/3 of it, so I wanted to know how it works

[heavy magnet]

Class DamageSystems -> FallDamagePlayers

double damagePercentage = Math.pow((double)0.58f * (yVelocity - (double)minFallSpeedToEngageRoll), 2.0) + 10.0;```
Damage is a percentage so maybe something is wrong on your plugin. (i havent read anymore code, just hard guessing)

[half roost]

So it always removes a percentage of damage instead of flat numbers?

[rigid herald]

is there a way to detect an arrow hit when it hits a block?

[feral pagoda]

if you were trying to make a mod that can give you a huge amount of health, instead of a lot of health you could do like 90% damage reduction. idk just an idea

[half roost]

Yes, I had several problems doing anything with that because it detected the block, so if it does

[half roost]

The mod already exists, the problem is that I can have millions of Health and it doesn't matter if I have 100 or 1,000,000, it always removes a specific amount.

I'm referring to a specific amount, with 1/3 for example, it's like removing x% of total lifespan, regardless of the lifespan.

[rigid herald]

how do I do it?

i couldn't find any EcsEvent linked to a projectile hitting a block

[half roost]

I created a system that detected damage to entities with a certain characteristic, and when I hit a block that didn't have that characteristic, it kicked me out of the game, so it could be related to that.

[sterile forum]

Guys, I have a plugin which worked for a while with

    mavenCentral()
    maven {
        name = "hytale-release"
        url = uri("https://maven.hytale.com/release")
    }
    maven {
        name = "hytale-pre-release"
        url = uri("https://maven.hytale.com/pre-release")
    }
}

dependencies {
    compileOnly("com.hypixel.hytale:Server:2026.01.27-734d39026")
}```

but for some reason it stopped working and can't find the repository, does anyone know what I am doing wrong, I tried making 2026.01.27-734d39026 a + instead which did not work, did something happen to the repository or did the link change?

[neat pelican]

https://support.hytale.com/hc/en-us/articles/45326769420827-Hytale-Server-Manual

Replace with latest version, we provide jars for the last five releases

you have to explicitly tell it to compile against the current version since only the last 5 versions are available on the maven repository

[tight jewel]

ah, thank you a lot :D

[cerulean harbor]

You could also do "latest" at the end I believe and it would work; it will always compile with the latest version, not sure how it would deal with conflicts of the release and pre release branch though.

[lofty otter]

Guys, any tips for movement mechanics? I want to create a custom gamemode, but by design it requires wall jumps, dashes and slides. Any ideas how this can be implemented? Also any resources or links close to theme are HIGHLY appreciated

[barren magnet]

are you on the modding discord? I can link it if you want

Here anyway: https://hytalemodding.dev/en

there are a lot more resources there

[lofty otter]

Highly appreciate, god bless

[quasi echo]

Honestly this channel should just redirect to the modding discord community tbh

Most of the answers are just look here for better results

[sick ridge]

Is there a way of adding a block/item to a chest from a plugin?

[quasi echo]

Probably with a prefab or a loottable

[red cobalt]

coming back after having a 2 week break from development to polish up my mod for the comp hand in and the latest update has completely broken so many of my systems 💀

[quasi echo]

It happens

[brave mural]

Is it possible to add like overflow hidden in the ui ? So that something inside a group we say that it shouldnt overflow outside of thatgroup like clip it?

[quasi echo]

Id ask in the modding discord they know a lot more about that UI stuff I'd also work on having a side copy of your UI code that works in the new system so once it's swapped you don't have to start fresh

[brave mural]

Oh do we already know how the new system needs to be structured?

I really hate the current ui system. I cant wait for neosis gui

It literally is such a pain to work the .ui files

[quasi echo]

Yes it's an existing system let me find the name

[quasi echo]

Noesis GUI

Eventually they will swap to it give a few blending updates to let people adjust and get settled then the existing system is removed

[brave mural]

Hopefully thats soon, Any dates yet ?

[neat pelican]

No, but there is steady progress in the pre-release patch notes

[quasi echo]

They are adding backend code for it so its definitely in the main set of stuff being worked on

[brave mural]

sounds like its not far away

[quasi echo]

Hopefully soon so people can start swapping

[brave mural]

Does anybody know how to set like elements that are available in @DropdownBox UI ?

$C.@DropdownBox #RankDropdown {
Anchor: (Width: 100);
Entries: ("MEMBER", "RECRUIT");
}

Like whats the syntax for Entries?

[quasi echo]

You really should be in the modding discord

[shy narwhal]

Aside from the tick field that shows when running /ping

are there any other ways of measuring server performance?

Im comparing 2 server hosts atm, its just a little weird, because one server reports a tickrate of around 50-80 ms, the other reports around 60-100 (so not a huge difference)

yet on one server NPCs like birds have a good amount of visible rubberbanding; but on the other it does not

so it like seems one server is a bit faster.... but its not very apparent from the tickrate at least

Otherwise I guess I will run some more generic CPU benchmark outside of hytale

[copper wyvern]

I think you need to define them as child nodes

Or maybe check com.hypixel.hytale.server.core.ui.DropdownEntryInfo class

[void wagon]

Type /ui-gallery in game, head to selection and take a look at the code for the dropdown box.

[brave mural]

Thanks

[void wagon]

Oh that was ages ago, but hopefully that command is useful in other ways anyway.

[brave mural]

Wait i didnt know that. Thats cool

[copper wyvern]

I personally prefer defining UIs in code using UiManager.
It makes default values, updates and event handling much easier imo

[neat pelican]

Check what the Nitrado Performance Saver Plugin doing

[shy narwhal]

I dont have it installed

Im running the server on Windows server VPS

[neat pelican]

That's not relevant

But if you don't want to install it, you can still check the code to see how it measures performance

[shy narwhal]

How would I do this exactly??
Does it pring in console or expose some kind of cmd?

[brave mural]

Wait is there a java class for that or what?

[neat pelican]

No, but it's on GitHub. You can read the code.

If you want something just for debugging with a ready-made user interface instead, you're looking for Spark

[copper wyvern]

https: // github com/Oxorbis/UiManager

[brave mural]

Ahh pretty cool

[shy narwhal]

am I the only one super bugged out by the auth code requirement for servers?

It seems every time I create a new auth refresh token for a new server, the code for the other refresh token stops working

So I can only have 1 server per account that I purchase?

and it wants email everification every time >.< Cant it just... set a cookie and be done with it?

[neat pelican]

you can have 100 active servers per game profile

[neat pelican]

Persisting auth in an encrypted file (similar to a cookie) is done by running /auth persistence Encrypted

[boreal topaz]

Does someone have an Idea how to create a searchable Dropdown in Hytale UI were not all entries are loaded in the beginning but send dynamically so I dont have to send all 6000 Player Names in 1 Dropdown? I can resolve that issue not using a searchable dropdown but with a searchable dropdown i cant update the dropdown dynamically ... any idea?

[copper wyvern]

I probably can find example somewhere

[boreal topaz]

That would be very interesting

[copper wyvern]

Ah you want it dynamic. Why not use separate text input and update dropdown based on player input?

I think we cannot bind event to builtin dropdown searchbar

[boreal topaz]

Yea thats what i thougth

[boreal topaz]

The drop down does not stay open and it looks bad xD

Or i am doing something wrong. Also the Dropdown Colorpicker also dosnt have a input changed event ... thats a bit anoying

[copper wyvern]

yeah ran into same issue, probably a bug

had to put explicit save buttons everywhere

[boreal topaz]

Nah i think there is just no event in place for that ... no bug they just forgot xD

[boreal topaz]

So anoying

[copper wyvern]

But the event is mentioned to exist in "official" documentation

[boreal topaz]

"offical"

[copper wyvern]

but still its from official source

[boreal topaz]

Its for the big color picker! There it exists

[tight jewel]

I tried "com.hypixel.hytale:Server:latest.release" and it seems to be working, thank you :D

[small quiver]

Does anyone know how the CharacterPreviewComponent UI element works? I tried to send in a support icket abt it (since there's no documentation) and I got told to come here to ask

[copper wyvern]

have you tried it? Does it show anything?

[small quiver]

as far as I can tell it always crashes the client

but not in the same like "parse error" way

[neat pelican]

The properties are listed and described in the docs: https://hytalemodding.dev/en/docs/official-documentation/custom-ui/type-documentation/elements/characterpreviewcomponent

[small quiver]

it usually says "Exception was thrown by the target of an invocation"

[copper wyvern]

these are just common properties for all nodes

[small quiver]

which seems to me a very client-side issue

[neat pelican]

aw dang

Is it used in any vanilla ui right now?

[small quiver]

only client side

and if I try to mimic what they do, I get that error

Interestingly the character create screen uses a different element, PlayerPreviewComponent, which the client doesn't even recognize exists if you try to use it

having tried to get it to work for a while, I'm now under the assumption that the client actually parses UI differently depending on if it's a local UI page or one privded by the server at runtime

For whatever reason, CharacterPreviewComponent IS loaded, but somehow incorrectly, so it throws an error in C#

I've been considering either decomping it or running it through a C# debugger to figure out exactly what's happening

[neat pelican]

Oof yeah that's tough

since it's AOT-compiled

[small quiver]

I do know of some decompilers that might make sense of it to an extent, but it's not gonna be easy, nor is it gonna give me class names and things like that

[remote flicker]

that is correct, only some elements are exposed for servers to use

[small quiver]

I do have a theory however on how it might be made to work

[remote flicker]

whats the error you are getting? is it just logging or crashing?

[small quiver]

It disconnects immediately with the message Exception was thrown by the target of an invocation which strikes me as an error in C#

the main reason I'm a lil annoyed is because it's in the public docs and yet does not work

at the same time, I don't really see how it could be abused, and hence why it wouldn't be allowed

[remote flicker]

hmm, do you have the full exception from the client log, or the sentry id so I can look it up

[small quiver]

gimme a moment to find that log; I'm on Linux

(yes I've confirmed it happens for people on Windows too)

okay I found it, it's a class cast exception

I can't paste the whole log in here actually

restrictions on the discord channel, maybe I just DM it to you?

[remote flicker]

I just need the sentry id if you have that or the stack trace

not sure where to get the sentry id

[remote flicker]

should be logged just before/after "Sentry event captured: ..." but this should be enough to find it

[small quiver]

I don't see that?

[remote flicker]

hmm, yeah I guess your client wasn't able to send it to our sentry for some reason, well rip error reporting I guess

[small quiver]

womp womp

is it possible I have telemetry off or smth?

[remote flicker]

what version are you running?

[small quiver]

Update 4, I think it's like the March 20th build

I don't see a setting for that; is it not supported in Linux?

I do have diagnostic mode on (helps a lot with debugging UI)

it also could be the error wasn't caught, hence the vague error name and the fact that it doesn't show up in the diagnostic console

[small quiver]

Any updates on this?

[queen rock]

if i am using bisect server osting how do i change the wolrd settings to keep inventory

[small quiver]

Probably not a question for #server-plugin but I believe that's a per-world setting

[void wagon]

Can UI selectors be deeply nested? #One[0] #Three will work but #One[0] #Two #Three will not be found and if not, how would I handle that?

[bitter shoal]

Hello guys, is it possible to increase the font size of UIs from the server side? UIs like Inv ToolTip etc?

[heady radish]

So, I'm working on a texture pack for Hytale, and I'm wondering if it's a good idea to replace existing blocks and items (that what texture packs do). I keep hearing that doing so could cause problems.

[small quiver]

Gonna assume you got lost in stacktrace hell?

[remote flicker]

No I fixed it then stopped working for the day, won't be until next weeks pre-release

[small quiver]

Okay great

Thank you

Actuslly super excited to use that when its available

[sterile forum]

Replacing textures should be quite safe as in having a new asset pack with textures with the same names as the originals so they are being used instead.

Problem mainly come if you start changing behaviours and properties on objects since the base object might change its behavior.

With textures at most you will lack texture for a object state or make it look wrong due to movement or rescaling in textures or models

[heady radish]

Got it 👍 Thank you!

[half roost]

Nah That's on the client side, not the server side, so it's not modifiable.

[bitter shoal]

Thanks Slexer for your reply.

[tight jewel]

guys, I have a list of Ref<EntityStore> in an EntityTickingSystem and I want to update or remove refs from that list. Problem is that I need a way to access the EntityTickingSystem for that and I can't figure out how to do that, I think I need to store it when I register it, but when I tried that it crashed when I went to another world as that has another store. Is there a way to access the system for a specific world/store?

[remote flicker]

You probably don't want to store data in your system class becasue it runs for every world, instead you would want to register a resource and then use that to store the data per-world

[tight jewel]

ah ok

so a world does not have its own object of the system running?

[remote flicker]

correct, the instance of a system is shared

[random badger]

is this channel for mod questions?

I installed 4 mods and two are called plug ins and two are called paks.

[neat pelican]

yep, "Mods" is the umbrella term for two types of game modifications:

• Plugins (Java .jar files)
• Asset Packs, or just Packs for short (textures, models, sounds, behavior definitions in .json files, etc)
  Mods may consist only of a Plugin (mechanic changes, commands, QoL, etc.), only of a Pack (new blocks, mobs, cosmetics, etc.), or both!
  If you have questions about asset packs, feel free to ask them here as well

[random badger]

I've installed EyeSpy, Loot Multiplier Ultimate, Pixel Paintings and Violet's Plushies and one of them seems to have a soundbug or something. Like it freezes - visuals alsmost not noticeable but the sound makes a brrrrt. I am just concerned if I deactivate a mod like the Plushie workbench, all the plushies I made with all the resources are gone 😅

So TL; DR: does anybody know by chance if one of the above mods can cause that brrrt sound bug?

Or else, how can I see comments on Curseforge? I am used to Nexxus Mods to read up on comments about bugs in mods.

[quasi echo]

Hytale saves all the data for mods in the block in the world so you can disable and re enable safely

[random badger]

omg, really? How cool is that?

[quasi echo]

Yeah really fun til you need to clean up leftover blocks xD

[small quiver]

I'm having an issue with getting teleportation working. I know to use the teleport component; however, sometimes when I apply said component, the player disconnects with the error Incorrect teleportId

[small quiver]

Figured it out; if you teleport the player too early in the joining process, it never acknowledges the teleport and can get out of sync enough to cause issues

[small quiver]

that kinda feels like a bug to me but yknow

[neat pelican]

How early in the joining process did you try to teleport them?

[small quiver]

like maybe a teleport should time-out if it's not aknowledged in time

[small quiver]

oh the first tick they were in game, so like worst case scenario

but it works the first time, it was just consecutive teleports that don't work

bc it desyncs

[neat pelican]

Not like you tried to teleport them while they still have the PendingTeleport component, right?

[small quiver]

well that's what I think happened, after the first teleport the PendingTeleport component never left

even minutes later

the client acknowledging that a teleport occurred is what removes it, so if that doesn't happen...breaks

[neat pelican]

If you can make a minimal plugin that reproduces this, that would be very helpful for a bug report

[small quiver]

I'll see if I have some time; I got more stuff to fix

[remote flicker]

You can't send a teleport before the ClientReady event. Any movement the client sends gets rejected/ignored by the server. So it could have dropped the teleport ack if it was sent before then.

Actually if you just want to move the player really early on join, you should be able to just change their position before/when they are added to the world, instead of doing a teleport, before the player even receives their position. so you never load chunks at the old position so should be more efficent

[small quiver]

In this case i just did a refactor so I didnt need to teleport so early anyway

[half roost]

Where does the system that displays the colors in the tooltips of items come from? I mean, is there a system that converts from text to colored text, or does it only work based on "lang"?

For example, if you put the color code you want in the lang along with the description call, it will display the description and its color without any problem. But is there anything that does that without needing the ".lang" extension? Or does it come from somewhere else that automatically colors it?

[heady radish]

How do you add an existing asset pack to a new server? And is there a way to add a mod to a server?

[neat pelican]

Just drop it in the "mods" folder :)

[heady radish]

As in, the one in the "User Data" folder?

[neat pelican]

Do you want to add it to your server or a single player world?

[heady radish]

My server

[neat pelican]

Then, no

Unless you have somehow put your server files into your User Data folder

[heady radish]

I didn't, but thanks

[neat pelican]

The server is storing files somewhere (worlds, player data, configuration, etc). That's where the server's mods folder is

[brave mural]

Do we know when the next release is ?

[quasi echo]

Next Thursday but more likely the 30th

[heavy magnet]

Any hytale dev/mod can hint us why character preview doesn't work or when they plan on adding support for it? I think anybody gives a proper answer or just even an answer

[quasi echo]

Devs don't usually read into the discord

[iron niche]

What do you personally think about Hytale's API? Could it be better,/is it good enough/easy/is bukkit better?

[neat pelican]

There are still a lot of holes to be plugged and info to expose to the server, but the Entity Component System is really powerful and the "one-thread-per-world" model is amazing for performance! I especially love that the vanilla game is made up of the same plugin api that we use and individual systems can just be disabled by the server owner.

Bukkit/Spigot/Paper have decades of development under their belt which is amazing for usability and ease of use, but it also comes with ossification and old patterns that we just have to deal with these days. I am very excited for what the Hytale API will look like in a couple years and can definitely see it beating the minecraft apis in usability, mainly because it's not capped by hard-coded things in the underlying game

[sterile forum]

And hopefully not get locked into weird structures and logic because people have demand that the early coded core things have to work the same way forever, or it will break unintended sideffects for their niche part of the game. 🙂

[quasi echo]

Well the way they are going about it is using practices that let them change if they need to

[half roost]

Bro, you know more about how to make an entity not disappear when it dies. Where do you modify it?

[neat pelican]

There is DeathSystems.CorpseRemoval and DeathSystems.TickCorpseRemoval systems in DeathSystems. Is this what you're looking for?

[half roost]

Exactly that

[neat pelican]

TickCorpseRemoval is responsible for checking the death interaction chain to finish and when that's done,
CorpseRemoval calls commandBuffer.removeEntity()

[granite turret]

I wanted to share something I have been working on over the past few days. It is a document where I take a close look at Hytale's architecture, especially the server and plugin side, and propose a more scalable alternative based on what I have learned from building similar systems myself.

Just to be clear, this is not meant as hate or anything like that. The goal is to highlight real problems we have already seen in the Minecraft ecosystem, like Spigot and Paper. If those issues are not caught early, they can lead to the same outcome: forks everywhere, community debt, and a system that becomes very hard to evolve.

I also wrote this because while working on my own projects like Reactor and Go Server, I kept running into these problems in practice, not just in theory. So the document is more of a technical reflection based on real experience. It looks at what is happening, why it happens, and how things could be designed better from the start.

Here are some of the topics I cover. Overall architecture comparing modular monolith and microkernel. Plugin system and lifecycle. SDK versus API. Classloader based isolation. Scheduler, events, and logging. Entity models including hierarchical, ECS, and EDM. And where the ecosystem might be heading if it continues on this path.

The document is also available in English. I did that partly to practice and partly to make it accessible to people outside the Spanish speaking community. I am from Argentina 🇦🇷 .

If anyone is interested in reading it or discussing ideas, I’d be glad to hear your thoughts. Feedback is very welcome, especially from people who have worked on similar systems.

You can find the link to the books in my status

The document has 49 pages in the Spanish version and 54 in the English version.

It’s quite technical, so not everyone may fully understand all the topics covered.
Also worth mentioning that many topics were intentionally left out for simplicity, such as chunks, asset editor, and others.

[clever echo]

It would be great if a developer could take a look at it

[neat pelican]

I believe a post on https://accounts.hytale.com/suggestions would be a great place for this kind of long-lived discussion

then it can also be linked in this discord

[granite turret]

Cool, thanks. I already put the suggestion up, so now we just gotta wait for it to get approved

[rugged flame]

There are some good points but I dont agree with everything. The EDM model appears very verbose and even harder to reason about compared to ECS. I actually think the ECS system is hytales biggest advantage, alongside assets.

[hoary viper]

How can i add customs animation to my NPC
is the asset editor
there are no animation
it says there are inherited but the list is empty ??

[dry pagoda]

is there a way to get the player from a BlockPlaceEvent/BlockBreakEvent

[haughty pier]

Do we have any updated information on when they plan to open source the server? So people can contribute to it.

[neat pelican]

You do the animations directly in BlockBench

[quasi echo]

Probably closer to launch

[hoary viper]

I did and added to the animation common folder but it’s still use the base charter animation

[iron niche]

Is there an ETA for the launch?

[quasi echo]

Around ish 2 years was the only date we got but that's likely pushed back tbh

idk what the Result type is here but you are better off doing something more like this so you don't block threads for no reason. The .join() calls mean you are holding a thread hostage just waiting for something else to complete.

private @NotNull CompletableFuture<Result<ServerInstance>> findServer(final @NotNull GameSearchData searchData) {
    final UUID playerUUID = searchData.playerUUID();
    final GameMode gameMode = searchData.gameMode();

                return serverTracker.getServer(result.get().serverUUID());
            })
            .thenCompose(result -> {

                final ServerInstance server = result.get();

But your code is a good suggestion if it wasn't the case

[remote flicker]

yeah, in this case it still "blocks" its just with the virtual thread it can swap to another task, so yeah it shouldn't cause any perf problems, but it would still have a small amount of overhead. if you called it a lot you would have a bunch of these virtual threads in the background blocking on the results, so still a good idea to avoid that if you can

maybe the screenshot was just a will-be though

[neat pelican]

Yeah they're listening to actions, not specific key presses. You can also listen to O by intercepting the /gm command ^^

[versed basin]

these normal weapon actions?

[neat pelican]

Yeah Q E and R are the default vanilla ability interactions

You don't need to do anything special to interact with those

[cerulean harbor]

We have a guide on this on the HytaleModding website. You can listen to the gamemode swap event to listen to the O key (default)

Has anyone else found this error while joining a new instance world? I understand there's something being accessed that is null and it may relate to a race condition but I believe I'm making all the right checks. I was just wondering if anyone else has seen this and it relates to something else.

[remote flicker]

Merged a fix, will be in next pre-release.

Its caused by the camera controller being set during world transition, it has an edge case where it fails to handle the player being removed temporarily while moving between worlds.

[remote drift]

Yep that would explain some other log lines mentioning rotaion yaw=NaN. I now can see that moving my mouse cursor during the transition crashes 100% of the time and 0% when I dont move it. Thank you, really appreciate the help!

I have an idea: A peer-to-peer network of servers across the globe, so people can connect to the closest server and it gets synced with the rest of the world without as much latency.

[quasi echo]

You just discovered what a network node system is

[sterile forum]

I wonder how many ideas i have been introduced to by technical or mathematical focused people, with no connection to the workings of computer networks, who's core idea is great.
As long as the latency doesn't exist.

[quasi echo]

Ud be surprised how much those connect

[sterile forum]

I worked on a project for a company once, where the idea maker just expected us to keep two non deterministic mutating keys in sync on two machines in real time, with them only talking with encrypted messages using said key with each other.

[quasi echo]

Lol

[sterile forum]

I mean, it would be amazing. I could see it happen with specialized hardware, and a damn pain to update replace. 😄

i mean, not non determinstic, but keeping keys in sync between two devices and those two are the only ones that know what algorithm and settings are used.

as for true random i know gambling comission requies proof of random, and from what i know cosmic noise and wall of lava lamps are two permitted sources. 😄

[quasi echo]

Right

[sterile forum]

[torn veldt]

Well what about an application to Hytale's Server Software.

[uncut forge]

yeah i mean holding the key without another device being able to see them is easy, cuz that's literally what quantum computers do, but reading them and sending encrypted messages and all that seems like a stretch

[maiden relic]

I have another random question, if I want to use someone else's code in my own plugin, do I just copy the MIT License text into a comment at the top of the file?

[half roost]

Reverse engineering

[maiden relic]

lol

I have to fix alot of it as it is, a good chunk is based non-existent/deprecated pathways

[half roost]

When you do that, if you don't want that specific mod, just analyze it and see how you can adapt it. You'll usually never need exactly what the mod has, but rather a part of it.

[maiden relic]

building this is mostly a learning exercise for me, but the mod is just a working version of their old mod

[half roost]

It's like someone saying 2+2=4 but to avoid licensing issues you say 2²=4; the result is the same but not the equation itself.

[maiden relic]

the code is question is optimization stuff

[sterile forum]

if you use any part of their code you should probably mentioned the mod you based it on and its their solution adapted for what ever issue you are facing.

If the mod as used as a reference how to access systems and get access to resources, its not really that important i think,
but as soon as you use any of their actual code, it just seems like a common curtesy to say so.

[maiden relic]

oh I totally plan to, I am just asking how I should do it

[half roost]

Indeed, saying that it was used as a reference or that with the mod's logic you achieved "x" is the best thing to say in that case.

[maiden relic]

I've settled on two places I think; once in the readme and an additional ATTRIBUTION.md alongside the files.

[sterile forum]

the license they are using should cover how it should be mentioned i think.

[half roost]

It's like when you write a thesis and cite documents or words from other authors

[maiden relic]

The MIT license is pretty vague

[sterile forum]

Yeah i think it states it should be "accessible" and possibly unaltered?
I know we had a separat page in a web project once where you could scroll for 2 minutes just reading trough the license of license of license stuff.

[gilded robin]

Been out of the game for a few months, have they changed their horrible whack-ahh UI system yet?

[lone crag]

does an items weight in the .json refer to drop chance?

[sterile forum]

weight is often chance, but usually relative to all other weight and in relation to the total.

[verbal wasp]

is there atm any possibility to change the attack speed of a weapon?

[half roost]

Yep

Change de speed of animation and hit then u have more or less speed

[verbal wasp]

so you need to change the asset?

[verbal wasp]

Okey, so its not possible to change the attack speed per player.

[sterile forum]

the play animation action have a run duration, so i guess you could either there trough code somehow modify that and get a different duration per player.

I’ve got a pets+ config with 259 mobs as pets all fairly balanced and rarity and all with drops, I saw someone was selling a config with 75 for $5.99 and had hella people buy it so I’m willing to just give mine out for free to anyone that wants it

Fair note it is ai generated and balanced but I looked through it and it all looks good, the other one probably is too tho tbf

It’s good enough for me to use it in an endgame modpack I made for single player and be satisfied

[olive quarry]

Actually I'm working on a new Pets mod, will be released soon, since pets+ isn't updated anymore, I decided to create one, but far more advanced, will be the first add-on of my Endgame & QoL mod 👌

[uncut forge]

That's sick, I just downloaded your mod the other day, but haven't gotten a chance to try it too much

As long as you dont distribute it... who cares

[tardy vortex]

Well what if it was for a server

[near onyx]

its not like youre sending the jar to the players

no licence in it, on curseforge "All Rights Reserved"

[quasi echo]

thats the license

which is one of the worst case scenarios

[olive quarry]

yeah yeah but I was looking for a licence directly in jar file lol

[quasi echo]

most are only on curseforge

"All rights reserved" is a copyright notice indicating that a content owner retains all legal rights to their work, preventing others from reproducing, distributing, or modifying it without permission

So as long as I credit him I’m good?
“Distribution Notice

Ima just make my own

[quasi echo]

thats the better option

[sterile forum]

allways the better choice, as soon as you entire decompile for something that is not explicitly recommended by the dev team, its usually not the right choice.

i wonder how many mods will take weeks to update again when the new release comes out. the vector changes will break a lot of mods for sure.

[sterile forum]

All the ones that have ignored pre releases.

[somber lodge]

ive been patching some of them myself to prepare, but some took quite a while, with tons of vectors involved

[half roost]

They're supposed to tell you which types of classes will be affected in the final version of each pre-release version, so you really just need to see which ones they use now and implement them.

Yeah it should be in the blog post when they release it

[half roost]

I mean, yes, it is.

[somber lodge]

im just back tracking errors and rebuilding against the pre-release

The pre-release already dropped

[maiden relic]

I'm fine with that

hi, I'm looking for a way to change the state of a block from the server. For example if I place a block A next to block B, I want to check the state of block B and update the state of block A. I can't find a way to get the state, and also can't find a way to set a new state.
The state is currently changed using a Use interaction that use the ChangeState to go from active to not active.
any one can guide me? do I need to do this from the WorldChunk? thank you!

EDIT: the id is changing and is not only the name of the asset so "MyBlock" becomes "*MyBlock_State_Definitions_Activated" and to change the state I can just do world.setBlock(x, y, z, "*MyBlock_State_Definitions_Activated");
I hope it can help someone in the future 👋

[thorny belfry]

Is it possible to trigger Custom UI on button click or can UI only be triggered with / commands? I'm trying to have a UI trigger with a mouse right click while I'm holding a specific item in my inventory.

[sterile forum]

there is no problem showing a custom ui with a interaction, event or other trigger.
have you added logs and checks that you actually reach the call to show the custom ui?

You need to know the player its for, and you need the class for the custom ui in question and it should work.

95% sure.

[azure sluice]

I use a custom interaction for it myself

[heavy magnet]

Find for classes SimpleInstantInteraction and InteractiveCustomUIPage

When you have your interaction and page settled up, A) create a root interaction which has an embedded interaction with type "your_interaction" Or B) in your item interaction for Primary, create an embedded interaction with type "your_interaction"

[thorny belfry]

I got it working, thank you for the info

[long juniper]

or running the code

funnily enough

now, will you get sued? probably not. can they sue you however? yes.

[long juniper]

this also gets much more complex when dealing with mods with custom assets

hey folks, i want to change a stacksize in a mod, the item stacks at 100, but i need it higher. normally i can increase max stack, but this mod does not have max stack line in the items .json. is there another place i can look to find stack info in a mod?

[olive quarry]

create the max stack line ^^ it'll work

[midnight obsidian]

where to find trustworthy mods?

[lone crag]

that what i thought, im not sure what line it should be

[olive quarry]

whatever, but preferably at the bottom, "MaxStack": 100

[lone crag]

its a fuel item, can i add the stack line under the fuel quality line?

[olive quarry]

yep

client can still have memory leaks

[quasi echo]

well we dont have access to any client sources so theres no way to improve it but report one in bug reports

[tranquil raft]

yeah sadly

i currently have a server plugin that somehow causes index out of bound exceptions on the client

and basically impossible to figure out what causes it only trial and error

[quasi echo]

check on the modding discord there might be a list of index's u could be out of bounds on

I'm trying to format the player message and came across this problem. So when the event fires:

public static void onPlayerChat(PlayerChatEvent event)

I need to access the playerRef store and get information from the store. After retrieving the information then i need to format the message.

Do i just call world.execute and call event.setFormatter inside world.execute?

[brave mural]

fix: Just cancel the player chat event and now manually sending the message to all targets. Works

[somber lodge]

if you need rank/prefix/store data for chat formatting, you should resolve and cache that data from the safe world/player thread, then the chat event should only read the cached string and call event.setFormatter(...) immediately.

[brave mural]

I see! Reason ? Performance probably?

[somber lodge]

It all depends on what exxactly youre doing i guess but doing it this way isnt mainly performance but more about thread safety and event timing.
The newer Hytale builds are stricter about live player/world access. A PlayerRef may point to a player currently owned by a world thread. If anoher thread tries to read components/store data from that player directly, Hytale warns or blocks it because the player state can be changing at the same time
So the reason for caching is: Read live player/component/store data only from the safe player/world thread using ref.execute(...)
Copy the result into simple cached data like strings, UUIDs, ranks, prefixes, colors
When chat fires, use only that cached data and call event.setFormatter(...) immediately
The performance benefit is real, since you avoid doing store/rank lookups every chat message
and youre avoiding async player access and avoiding scheduling event.setFormatter(...) too late

[brave mural]

public static void onPlayerChat(PlayerChatEvent event) {
    // cancelling event so hytale doesnt send the message because we are doing it manually.
    event.setCancelled(true);
 world.execute(() -> {
      Msg msg = new Msg().Raw("");

      if (ChatPlugin.INSTANCE.HasExperiencePlugin) {
        AppendLevelBadge(msg, playerRef);
      }

      for (PlayerRef target : event.getTargets()) {
        target.sendMessage(msg.Build());
      }
    });

Yea i basically did this

There probably is a better way but this seems to be ok for now

I just cancel the event which as far as i understood just makes it so that hytale itself is not sending the message

I just send the messages myself

This way i also dont have to like think about caching and invalidating cache or refreshing cache

[somber lodge]

does chat still show in console this way? thers a chance since its overriding it that it may not log chat at all this way

[brave mural]

Good question let me check

Nope it doesnt might need to also put it there

thanks for letting me know!: )

[somber lodge]

you can manually log it>

String plainLogLine = playerRef.getName() + ": " + event.getMessage();

ChatPlugin.INSTANCE.getLogger().info("[CHAT] " + plainLogLine);

i think lol id have to try it though

[brave mural]

Will log it that way

[cerulean harbor]

You should use the hytalelogger class to log.

https://hytalemodding.dev/en/docs/guides/plugin/logging

[heavy magnet]

private static final HytaleLogger LOGGER = HytaleLogger.forEnclosingClass();

LOGGER.atInfo().log("Hello World");

[brave mural]

Any other Block Interactions i forgot? Im creating a permission system and im not sure if there is a better to handle that but if a player interacts with a block i do this:

any other recomendation or block interaction i forgot ?

if (blockName.contains("chest")) {
      requiredPermission = WorldGuardPermission.ALLOW_INTERACTING_WITH_CHEST;
    } else if (blockName.contains("door")) {
      requiredPermission = WorldGuardPermission.ALLOW_INTERACTING_WITH_DOOR;
    } else if (blockName.contains("portal")) {
      requiredPermission = WorldGuardPermission.ALLOW_INTERACTING_WITH_PORTAL;
    } else if (blockName.contains("teleporter")) {
      requiredPermission = WorldGuardPermission.ALLOW_INTERACTING_WITH_TELEPORTER;
    } else if (blockName.contains("furniture")) {
      requiredPermission = WorldGuardPermission.ALLOW_INTERACTING_WITH_FURNITURE;
    }

[heavy magnet]

workbenches maybe?

[brave mural]

Ok will add that too.

[somber lodge]

torches/lanterns? good for spawn areas if you dont want players messing with lights. problem there is, some fall under furniture, some dont, like the deco_lantern or holiday wreaths etc.

also maybe crops

[brave mural]

Thanks!! Will add those

[brave mural]

I came across a weird bug - In java 25 it seems like thread.stop is no longer supported but hytale uses that method when deleting a world.

How is that possible ?

[formal ridge]

Question : how does world generation differ from single to multiplayer ? Cause i'm creating a mod, that is working correctly if executed as a server than connecting the player to it, but doesn't seem to work, if creating the world directly as a single player from hytale (I thought "single player" wasn't realy a thing, as even as single, it's in fact a server running behind it, so i'm quite confused)

Does anyone have faced the same problem ; world generation working if executed thought the hytale server, than connect to it via multiplayer, but not working if creating a fresh new game from hyatle directly, with the mod active ?

[quasi echo]

it should be basically the same u could ask in the modding discord theres alot of server backend devs there

[dry pagoda]

[quasi echo]

Probably not yet

[dry pagoda]

rip

[elfin lantern]

Okay, I see mention on YouTube about instanced dungeons, but the server I'm on has no coders. How difficult is it to set up instanced dungeons so they don't break (for instance, scenery being destroyed while players are fighting enemies) and have to be repaired between people going to them?

The server admins think a coder is needed to set that up.

[remote chasm]

I concur. you'd probably need a plugin that loads existing world and creates it as an instance as a copy of that world

so the initial world would be like a "blueprint". after players are done you just remove the instance. new one would be able to be created every time someone wants to enter the dungeon

[elfin lantern]

It would be nice to find someone who has actually done this to teach us.

[elfin lantern]

I don't know if there is a tutorial on doing this, anywhere. I also wonder how this will change, once Hypixel gets dugeons of their own in the game (perhaps creating new ones will be easier, once they do).

[remote chasm]

I mean, there is sorta a system that does this in hytale right now

the portal and shards is basically 95% of what you need

the only difference is how you handle world creation. instead of generating a new random world you'd just load the template

[elfin lantern]

Someone I talked to said creating the template consists of (if I recall rightly) creating a void world, buiding the dungeon in it, and saving it as a blueprint.

[remote chasm]

that is indeed one way to do it. as long as you save that world, you can load it and use it as template

[heavy magnet]

There is a few mods around that have dungeons

To create this instances you just need to use the asset editor. Can get tricky at first but there is documentation and guides in community discord servers and doc sites

[brave mural]

Is there an easy way to check what components an entity has ? Like a zombie or just another kwebeck or something

[shut cipher]

That's funny you should mention that, because I'm actually in the middle of developing a plugin for a server that needs instanced dungeons. It's simpler than it looks, but it's very technical.

[elfin lantern]

I guess the server I'm on is using something else, but, hey, if you get it finished, let me know. It may yet become useful.

[shut cipher]

sharing helpful tools and stuff is great of course, just don't insult people and expect them to spend their time proofreading it.

And keep the target audience in mind

I opened the github project he shared and then when I came back here to comment it I saw the messages were already deleted, have you seen it? It seems legit nevertheless

Hi, I have a question about the symbol that appears when an item breaks. How does that symbol appear? Which classes "summon" it?

[sterile forum]

If i remember correctly its when any item update and the durability becomes zero, unless the maxDurability of the item is less than or 0(since thats a indication of item unbreakable).
and the rest is handled client side, so we can't change it i think from the server, and there for not by mods. but could be wrong.

[half roost]

2/2 of the replies told me the same thing, so it's more likely they're right.

On the other hand, considering that there is a way to put something "on top" of the item slot using a conditional statement, does anyone know how?

This seems to relate specifically to DropList JSON files

It appears that if an item has a DropList reference that contains ONLY droplists then it drops nothing. The droplist MUST have at leasty one item within it

For some reason the Pack doesn't error but the Plugin does because the plugin somehow detects the error

Is there currently a ~255/256 node (or "modelPart") limit per model? I'm struggling to get some of the Cobblemon assets to translate over properly, they end up invisible in game.

If so, is there a way around it, can it be changed?

[quasi echo]

This is more a question for the modding discord because they deal with it more first I'm hearing of a part limit, just wondering what mons need so many parts

[mystic wedge]

hehehe so far the higher end ones are Toxapex (355 nodes, 99 over), Falinks (311), Decidueye/Hisuian (293), and Skeledirge (286)

[quasi echo]

So really the limit needs to be about double for your use case

[mystic wedge]

close yeah, or I have to find a way to collapse bones.. seems there's a ton used that are invisible for other uses in game, "locator" bones. I guess they're used for attaching seatch and other stuff? just now starting to dive into it and hopefully find a hytale safe alternative to replace that doesn't count against the model

[quasi echo]

Yeah I mean unless there's a technical reason they limit it we can probably ask for a raised limit

@cerulean harbor who would be the best to ask about this limitation

[cerulean harbor]

It's already been requested and I'm sure they're aware of it

[quasi echo]

this is why i asked you because u would know

[cerulean harbor]

Yea this is a pretty known issue, the node limit rn can't be bypassed

[quasi echo]

@mystic wedge unfortunate ^

[mystic wedge]

Appreciate the help everyone!

[ruby arrow]

Does anyone know how to change the background texture for a text button?

[verbal wasp]

Hey guys, is there any possibility to hide the RMB, LMB and Q Skills HUD? I found everything to hide, but not these

[heavy magnet]

in java or in the .ui

[ruby arrow]

But I know where the problem is when I do it the same way others do, it doesn't work for me. There's an “X” on a white background when I open the UI. Do you know how to fix this? I can show you my Java code and the UI file.

[heavy magnet]

show, send me a pastebin or git repo

[karmic lagoon]

weird question, but does anyone here know how to code in luau?

[neat pelican]

Once you have programming experience, it's very transferrable to different syntaxes

[karmic lagoon]

I'm asking because I'm in teh early stages of a luau -> Java language translator I'd like people to try making (simple) Hytale stuff for

[ruby arrow]

Sorry for the delay. I sent it to you in a private message.

[pulsar bone]

Is strike lightning a thing in hytale

Or strike lightning effect

[pulsar bone]

        playerRef.getPacketHandler().writeNoCache(new ChangeVelocity(0f, 30f, 0f, ChangeVelocityType.Add, null));

I found no better way of launching player into the sky than this, if anyone have any better way lmk. And is there a lighting strike effect?

[heavy magnet]

Knockback component

Or make your own

[pulsar bone]

does lightning or lightning effect exist in this game like the lightning strike effect of minecraft

[heavy magnet]

Not sure, I don't think so

[heavy magnet]

If there is, should be in the assets

[fickle dagger]

I saw in one of the mod contest's world gen V2 mods "Dragon's Fantasy Scenes", there are lightnings with thunder sounds in the Icey world. I don't know how it works exactly, but it's something you could maybe look at if only to use the same VFX

[golden saddle]

Someone uses opencode/claude or others to make Hytale plugins? If so, it works? Else, why?

[half roost]

Wdym?

[half roost]

@wet kayak Tell him

[golden saddle]

I mean, I'm trying to figure out if we can use IA to do hytale (java) plugins

[half roost]

U can

[golden saddle]

That works? Do you have examples?

[half roost]

I started by reviewing the Hytale code with the Gemini chat to put together something simple, giving it the classes that called other classes in the base game to use for any mod

Then I went to Claude's chat and then to Claude code in the terminal where I did everything.

[golden saddle]

Ohh I see. So, did you generate some MD file with the necessary information about it?

[blissful patio]

does anyone know how the GradientSet & GradientId cam be implemented in Blockbench? (I only have installed the "Hytale Models" plugin from JannisX11.

ex) /Assets/Server/Models/Undead/Skeleton_Pirate_Gunner.json

{
  "DefaultAttachments": [
    {
      "Model": "Cosmetics/Head/BandanaLogo.blockymodel",
      "Texture": "Cosmetics/Head/BandanaLogo_Textures/BandanaLogo_Skull_Greyscale_Texture.png",
      "GradientSet": "Fantasy_Cotton",
      "GradientId": "Red"
    },
  ]
}

[quasi echo]

Those might be Hytale specific so they might have to be set outside blockbench

[dire charm]

can you completely override client side movement for example to add quake style movement if you really wanted

[vital drift]

More or less, but you cannot change which/how client movement packets are sent, so you'll have to do with those and existing reconciliation. That's why flying mounts, gliders and planes are not really feasible atm

[dire charm]

so like manipulating acceleration and friction and doing stuff when the camera is facing a direction I think

I'm not 100% sure of how all the base code fully works

[tender cliff]

Is the Developer item quality hardcoded in the client to be hidden? The JSON for it is missing HideFromSearch so it should default to false, but it's hidden still even if manually defining it as false. I also looked at:

• com.hypixel.hytale.protocol.ItemQuality
• com.hypixel.hytale.server.core.asset.type.item.config.ItemQuality
• com.hypixel.hytale.server.core.modules.item.ItemQualityPacketGenerator
  on the server and found no code that modifies hideFromSearch before sending it off to the client.

[vital drift]

It's an asset Server/Item/Qualities/Developer.json

[tender cliff]

Yes I'm aware, I'm asking about why HideFromSearch is treated as always true on it.

[vital drift]

Right, sorry I misread

[vital drift]

Yep seems hardcoded. Depends on what you're trying to do with them, but you can /give yourself the items with this quality, or override them to change their quality

[tender cliff]

...why would they hardcode a property that literally has a JSON key for the exact behavior
-# probably legacy code

though i'm still confused on why they would hardcode it in the client

[quasi echo]

It's ment to prevent people from seeing developer only items

[vital drift]

What illagercaptain is saying is that the Developper ItemQuality asset has an "HideFromSearch" property that's already supposed to handle this case, and it doesn't do anything because the filtering exception is hardcoded somewhere

[dry pagoda]

how do you set a block with a specific rotation?

[half roost]

R

[neat pelican]

BlockPlaceUtils.placeBlock() has an argument for BlockRotation

what do I do? 😅

the game server keeps kicking me out because it cant load a chunk, the chunk in question doesnt even seem to have a dedicated file in the chunks folder?

[quasi echo]

Move the world into sp run the world validation tool move world back into Server

[remote flicker]

You can run the server with --verify-worlds --recovery-mode=FROM_BACKUP_OR_REGENERATE which will use your backups to try and restore any broken chunks or worse case will regenerate the chunk

[heavy magnet]

anybody knows why my custom entity stats dont show the value?

Found the fix.

You need to add {value} in the .lang entry

itemTooltip.stats.Agility = Agility {value} 🟩
itemTooltip.stats.Strength = Strength ⛔

[vivid bone]

Hi there, i'm building alot of UI's, sometimes working wit an AI creates invalid .ui documents, resulting on a "failed to load customui documents", i would like to have a validator such a json-validator, or an extension for vscode, or a precise documentation.
I tried copying the doc of official hytale ui documentation in a markdown and link it to the AI, but itstill creates errors, i have ti manually repass on many things, resulting on a big waste of time. Anyone has resolved this problem ? 🙂

[neat pelican]

Download the docs locally, the ai will be way more accurate reading markdown than parsing html.
github com/HytaleModding/site/tree/main/content/docs/en/official-documentation/custom-ui

also don't forget saying "no mistakes"

[half roost]

Usually the problem was that it referenced things that Hytale didn't have or there were problems with the Java information, but what always happened was that the way the UIs were created

Hytale works by using the entire screen for a UI, so if the AI only uses the information box you want and not the full screen, it won't work and will throw a document error.

The server console will also tell you what the error is in those cases.

[neat pelican]

be clear in your prompt that this is a custom DSL for a C# game, and is not based on web standards even though some of the keywords might look similar.

[vivid bone]

Im not sure understanding 100% of what you said.
To be clear, i do have full working interfaces on some of my mods.
But for example, i have a basic UI with a menu and a few texts, i actually asks the AI to do a more complex pattern of separation / sections / separators / alignments, but it creates bad things, resulting on a fail to lad the refactored UI, even if i know link the .md file with the entire doc.
The client shows "Failed to load CustomUI documents" only, and the server [World|default] Exception when adding player to world only

[neat pelican]

yeah maybe a partial validator can be inspired from the server code

[brave mural]

Is it possible to disable the message that gets send when somone joins the world ?

Found it: AddPlayerToWorldEvent you can set the message there

[neat pelican]

And RemovedPlayerFromWorldEvent now exists as well for the leave message

[gilded ibex]

yay i managed to make instanced houses for my server for each player

[scenic light]

Hello. Where can I found docs about events and those stuff about HytaleServer?

[neat pelican]

ECS Systems:
https://release.server.docs.hytale.com/com/hypixel/hytale/component/system/ISystem

ECS Events (used via WorldEventSystem/EntityEventSystem/etc):
https://release.server.docs.hytale.com/com/hypixel/hytale/component/system/EcsEvent

IEvents:

[scenic light]

Thanks

[brave mural]

Heyo - Im curiouse about the player base on hytale servers - I just checked a lot of hytale servers and i feel like the biggest ones all together have like less then 100 players is that a thing

[vivid bone]

Hi, do you think its possible to code an amount of stack for an item for a specific permission ?
For example a standard player has 25 stacks of iron ore, and vip has 100 of stack of iron ore ? 🙂

[vivid bone]

clearly not the right section, #game-discussion , and yes

[pearl bloom]

I think limit of players is 100 for a moment and most people waiting for more updates anyway, so servers are more like small islands to stray to

[gilded ibex]

managed to make "nodes" that get replaced after a set amount of seconds so they can be remined/farmed after the timer runs out

[gilded ibex]

anyone here know the best place to "hire" builders or other devs or something as i dont think this server is meant for that(?)

[vivid bone]

up

[vital drift]

Do you mean via a /kit or similar command ? Or that all players with X perm are able to stack some kind of item to a different amount ?
If it's the first option, yes it's very simple. For the second, since stack quantity is defined per item type, it might be possible but you probably gonna have to hack your way through packets/mixins

[vital drift]

HytaleModding's discord has a #find-talent channel

[gilded ibex]

ahh gotchu thank you! 🙂

[shy narwhal]

imgur (döt) com/a/tJp8oj4 Why are my chunks disappearin/regenerating? 🙁

[quasi echo]

use the validation tool

[neat pelican]

zero already told him

[shy narwhal]

oh right, sorry

[neat pelican]

does the validation highlight anything in the logs?

[shy narwhal]

I will try running it now

[quasi echo]

idk ive never ran into needing it but its ran while the world isnt open so not likely

[gilded ibex]

is it possible to change the worlds skybox to something custom like an image for example? or only different hues and colors through the world editor?

[vivid bone]

was the second point, aight i see

[ruby arrow]

Group #test {
  Anchor: (Height: 891, Width: 1562);
  Group #Bg {
    Background: (Color: #491d1d);
    Anchor: (Height: 891, Width: 1562);
  }
}

Hey, I have a problem that’s actually kind of funny given how the game is currently being developed—it’s just over the top. The UI system is a disaster, and that’s not just my opinion. But getting to the point, does anyone know what might be wrong here? No matter what I do, I get a black background—whether it’s a color or a graphic, it still turns black. And to make matters worse, yesterday it was working fine

[neat pelican]

Isn't Background just a color string, not a complex object?

I have it like this:

Group {
  Anchor: (Height: 1);
  Background: #f4ca17(0.5);
};

[ruby arrow]

Basically, it makes no difference—the option I wanted doesn't work—and that's actually the only thing left in the code

[neat pelican]

ok yeah both work

[ruby arrow]

“It works” is a bit of an exaggeration, because it doesn't work at all. It also has a different UI, and when I was working on them last night, they were working, but today my beloved game has glitches and doesn't work at all.

[neat pelican]

try going back to yesterday's commit

[ruby arrow]

So I did that I rolled back to Saturday—but nothing changed. I rolled back to Thursday’s version—absolutely nothing. All the UIs are crashing to a black screen. I tested it on several servers, just to make sure it wasn’t a server issue, but it didn’t work there either.

[mystic wedge]

Is there a place that has the official biome strings? Seems what's documented and used are different?

[neat pelican]

Biomes are completely data-driven so you'll find them in Assets.zip

Server/World/Default/Zones/ i believe?

[mystic wedge]

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[scenic light]

Hello. Anyone with custom effects experience? I'm trying to make one but, setting as an assets or as a plugin (.jar) don't get created/no recognized.

[shy narwhal]

Says it failed to recover; pastebin (döt) com (släsh) Jdzr9SeF (partial/relevant logs)
pastebin (döt) com (släsh) LxAFTX6m (full logs)

I have a manual backup from a couple of days ago where afaik there were no issues at least around the immediate spawn area, so I can just copy paste the old universe into the live server

but uhm, since Im running a live server where people come to play adventure/survival, it will be rather hellish if this becomes a reoccuring problem with players having their bases ripped apart

Its that I have been seeing warnings about it failing to load certain chunks in my logs in the past (you can lookup my message history in this channel, I attached the erroring logs somewhere), so it seems its not really the first time its been some kind of problem, just I havent seen any resulting issues that affects gameplay until now since a couple of days ago

are there any configuration settings I should be aware of that can help prevent these kinds of issues/improve stability?

[zealous quail]

is there a reason keybind keys show up with the entity tool legend for example but not in the exact same ui added to the hud?
I've looked around the code and it seems items implement a specific hud type of Legend but why and if so how would I mark a normal hud as that or is it possible only with huds on items?

[rocky cloak]

Can any1 tell me if you guys are also having issues with plugins saying that they aren't on the correct Server Version even though I have done everything i can to make sure it was?

like in manifest.json i wrote "ServerVersion": "*" and it still says in console and in chat when I open the server that the plugin isn't updated to latest server version

[tribal patrol]

You need to specify the exact version to avoid the warning (or turn off the warning in your settings).
e.g. latest release is: "ServerVersion": "2026.03.26-89796e57b"
Note that they've changed the format for a upcoming update when it leaves pre-release.

[half roost]

That just indicates they don't have the exact version number, but if you're using the most up-to-date code, putting the "*" isn't really a problem.

[vital drift]

Starting from update 5 next week, * won’t work anymore

[rocky cloak]

I tried doing that and it still gave me the same error message

[hasty sandal]

A friend of mine also noticed his server wasn't the version he expected, so type /version in the chat to find out if the server version is really what you wrote into the manifest.json.

[boreal topaz]

Am I not able to make a button in custom Ui to open a website 🥲? I know it works through the chat …

[boreal topaz]

wdym? Dont you understand the question?

[sterile forum]

No.
