[hexed valley]

but I have found no way to remove it like no event is being called at that point

[somber lodge]

the block removal is unconditional and happens before the pickup event is even created.
in performPickupByInteraction, removeBlock(...) runs before interactivelyPickupItem(...).
InteractivelyPickupItemEvent cancellation wont affect whether the block is removed it only affects what happens to the already-generated drops

[sterile forum]

You would have to stop the perform pickup by interaction.

[somber lodge]

^

[sterile forum]

Why are you triggering that if you dont want to pickup or break the block?

[somber lodge]

or restore the block afterward maybe

[hexed valley]

maybe I think its the most fair solution

[sterile forum]

Or do you want a block you can infinitly farm?

[hexed valley]

Or can I just disable the interaction module?

[somber lodge]

gamerule interact deny?

[hexed valley]

No I just want it to be unbreakable in some areas

[somber lodge]

ahh

[hexed valley]

Ive seen that in some servers inside the player claims you can't pickup items as well

[somber lodge]

WiFlow's Claims

[hexed valley]

thanks Im gonna take a look at it

Ohhh wait I think I found it

[somber lodge]

👀

[austere cloak]

Still not working for me and I don't know why. I tried every combination with Text and TextSpans in java and in the .ui file. When I am using TextSpans in java it randomly says command was not found. And sometimes my .ui file was not found

UI File part:

Label #GoblinArmyLabel {
Padding: (Full: 0);
Text: "Cleared 0%";
Style: (TextColor: #ffffff, RenderBold: true, Alignment: Center);
}

UI Builder:

commandBuilder.set("#GoblinArmyLabel.TextSpans", Message.raw(text));

Show and set UI/Text:

hud.show();
hud.setVisible(true);
hud.setText("Cleared 0%");

is there any way to be able to get specific keystrokes from the client to execute commands? I looked into packet handling but this doesnt track "unused" keys. I want to call commands on keystrokes to create something like rpg skills. I know im able to get supported hotkeys, like O or even the hotbar ones (they get unusable for normal use then though)

[remote chasm]

no way to currently do that

you can only capture specific actions, not key presses, and those actions are defined client side

[unborn nebula]

Can confirm. Custom keybinds are not currently possible

[remote chasm]

otherwise you'd just be able to straight up keylog people

[versed basin]

yeah

[remote chasm]

there are a couple of options on how to handle it safely, but all we can do is wait for hypixel to implement one of those

[versed basin]

any of you know if they plan to add custom keybinds, so players can bind test/commands to them?

[unborn nebula]

They do, yes, it's one of the most requested features from modders

[remote chasm]

I'd rather just have custom defined actions rather than making players execute commands

[sterile forum]

You could add skills to the toolbarnumbers if you are willing to sacrife the block spaces. Is the closest i can think.

[remote chasm]

if you come from minecraft, you need to get out of "this needs to be a command" headspace. we have options here

[versed basin]

yeah commands are freaking old, nobody wants to write them in chat, hiding them with key strokes would be enough i guess

[remote chasm]

hiding them with key strokes would be enough i guess
nope, no need to engage command system at all

[versed basin]

yeah, thats the only way, but if i want to add 4-6 skills, the toolbar is almost gone 😄

[sterile forum]

You are not hiding them you qre making interactions/events.

[remote chasm]

it's still jank, hidden or not.

I'd rather just see an api to add custom interaction types. So rather than saying "key x executes y command", server tells the client that there is "custom_action" action, please bind it to some key you like

[sterile forum]

You could have items representing different interactions.

[versed basin]

yeah, this all feels like a bandaid 😄

[remote chasm]

no need for command payload, parsing and processing. "this needs to be a command" is not a valid approach here

[sterile forum]

It is but if you dont want to wait.

[versed basin]

is there another way atm? im willing to wait for another way, sure but i was intitally asking for a solution i can use right now

[remote chasm]

we can alerady do custom interactions with currently available keybinds. right click on most blocks is "free" for example

[sterile forum]

I rather be able to build test and replace than wait. ^^

Right click or o could give a menu with choices not great for fastpace but infinite options.

[remote chasm]

in my plugin I just add "Secondary" type interaction to all chests to quick stack to clicked chest. but it's a charged interaction, so if you hold it down for a second, you stack to all nearby chests instead

[versed basin]

im trying to implement moba like skills, so fastpace is a requirement, well im just gonna wait and develop the rest

[remote chasm]

iirc there are 2 unused skill actions

Ability1 is Q by default, but there are also Ability2 and Ability3 which are not bound by default (?) and you can just enable them for blocks, items or unarmed by just adding them to the base interaction structure

[remote edge]

i can paste full output because i can send more than 2000 chars here xd

[remote chasm]

that's a library error. make sure the provided path exists and the library matches the server version you're working with

[sterile forum]

When setting the path to the game did you by chance use \ instead of /

Backslash is an escape character for special logic. Most os except windows use / and most filepaths in code use / or you have to use\.

its so funny. Put on a event tutorial on youtube in the background. First thing he covers is how to prevent a player from breaking blocks. 😛

[remote edge]

From what I understand, Gradle downloads the correct version of the server. Therefore, I don't have a path reference. Currently, I'm developing on Windows (yes, really... lol) because I wanted to develop on my Hytale gaming PC for practical reasons.

I don't think the problem is with the configuration, but rather with my plugin, since I can build the .jar file, but when I add it manually, my map doesn't launch. I'm not doing anything special in my plugin, just logging.

/**
 * Main plugin class.
 * @author ymohl-cl Oxy
 * @version 1.0.0
 */
public class ForgottenTemple extends JavaPlugin {

    private static ForgottenTemple instance;

    /**
     * Constructor - Called when plugin is loaded.
     */
    public ForgottenTemple(@Nonnull JavaPluginInit init) {
        super(init);
        instance = this;

        getLogger().at(Level.INFO).log("[TemplatePlugin] Plugin loaded!");
    }

    /**
     * Get plugin instance.
     */
    public static ForgottenTemple getInstance() {
        return instance;
    }
...

and if i define the path manually, i have the same error

hytale_home=file:/C:/Users/mohlc/AppData/Roaming/Hytale

With a random path i have an other error which say hytale installation not found

[neat pelican]

Looks to me as if you're trying to use the command line argument --mods C:\Users\...\libs\FoegottenTemple-0.0.1.jar to start the server. Afaik --mods expects a directory, not a file

[sterile forum]

Yeah i am probably way off

[nova bronze]

what if I like typing commands q.q

[austere cloak]

Is there a way to execute code on shutdown/player exits world? I want to remove NPCs I spawned before

[neat pelican]

• ShutdownEvent: Pretty much the last thing that gets called in the lifecycle. I believe the worlds have already been shut down so you can't modify NPCs anymore.
• DrainPlayerFromWorldEvent, RemovedPlayerFromWorldEvent (next update): These are closer to what you're looking for, but the former only gets called in the case where a world is drained of all players at once.
• RefSystem<EntityStore>: This has an onEntityRemove method that gets called any time an entity is removed from a world. I believe this is what you're looking for.

[austere cloak]

Thanks, but actually I am looking for an event that allows me to remove my spawned NPCs (I store the refs) when no player is left in the world or on/before shutdown

[neat pelican]

Check if HytaleServer.get().isShuttingDown() is true

[sterile forum]

In the end, what ever you do that ends up with the result you want to a performance that is acceptable you have done it right.
There is no right or wrong in software development if you solve the task at hand, only opinions.

[nova bronze]

unless you make ai do it for you

[sterile forum]

Well that falls on the fact that you have no idea about the performance requirements or whether the thing you asked for actually did the thing you asked.
I think someone stated that the wide adaption of AI code in software and central systems have backed cybersecurity with about 40 years.

CODECS became a lot easier when someone said it was essentially just
"Type, Setter, Getter"

on repeat.

where the type can just be another codec as well.

[remote chasm]

it's just serialization/deserialization :)
turn it to bytes, turn it back to object, that's it

no rocket science

[sterile forum]

Yeah, its just that java is so damn verbose, it's not obvious to figure out what a tri consumer actually is.

[verbal ginkgo]

I would like to speak with a Hytale developer about the server instability, crashes, and chunk loading errors. The developers of my server managed to resolve these issues. If you want help resolving this problem, then contact me on Discord. We want to help the Hytale developers make the game stable.

[neat pelican]

There is https://accounts.hytale.com/feedback, and/or you can wait for them to accept contributions on GitHub in the coming months

[near onyx]

im like 99% sure they're not going to accept contributions.
They stated they were going to release the source code for viewing.
But it wont be OpenSource, it'll be SharedSource.
As in you can see it, but you cant post it.
And since you cant fork it, you cant PR
(unless they said something different and i missed it)

[maiden relic]

Someone will use AI to scrape it. 😂

[neat pelican]

They said

Shared Source Server
...
This will let you:

• ...
• Contribute improvements and bug fixes back to us if something bothers you enough that you don't want to wait.
  https://hytale.com/news/2025/11/hytale-modding-strategy-and-status

[near onyx]

well then i guess i missed that part 😂

[neat pelican]

Yeah we will see how the contribution workflow will turn out. And how much capacity they have to review and accept stuff

[maiden relic]

I wonder if this is going to be the beginning of forked servers then. (e.g. PaperMC, Spigot)

[near onyx]

probably just send it into the bug/feedback page, and wait 1-2 months to see if anything happens 😂

[void wagon]

Is the layering in Blockbench completely borked? I made a selection, and now I have a permanent blue outlined selection layer... and if I delete it, well... it clears the layer it was a selection of.

[hexed valley]

Hi guys do you know how to add opacity to a background in hytale UI for a label? Ive seen people using "#ffffff(0.5) for the opacity but it didn't work for me :/

[surreal orbit]

spectator

[knotty vigil]

I think it's a little too early for that. There's no point of building a fork on a server when they're practically rewriting the server software quite often.

Definitely is to come, I'm sure...

[eternal spade]

I have models for an anvil + anvil with a molten ingot on it, is anyone aware of what I can do/modify to make it so it changes textures/model or becomes animated similarly to how the furnace is?

[austere cloak]

How can I execute a command in world context (java)? So not for a specific player

[neat pelican]

world.execute(() => {
  //thread-safe code here
})

[austere cloak]

But where can I pass the command string?

[neat pelican]

What command string?

Oh I see

[austere cloak]

I want to execute a command like /ambience setmusic

[neat pelican]

Instead of AbstractPlayerCommand, you just want to use AbstractCommand, or AbstractWorldCommand if you want the user to pass a world (or get it implicitly)

[austere cloak]

I don't understand it. I need a class for executing a simple command? My goal is to execute a hytale command in java code. In the game I would type in "/time night" but how can I execute string commands in java?

[knotty vigil]

Decompile the command and see how they do it. Then do it that way.

I'm sure there's a way to execute commands via code somehow though.

[austere cloak]

I think they are creating custom commands with AbstractCommand etc. but I want to execute existing commands

[neat pelican]

oh you want to EXECUTE a command, not add a new command for your users to execute. That's done via ```CommandManager.get().handleCommand(ConsoleSender.INSTANCE, "say AAAAAA");

sorry for the confusion

[austere cloak]

Thanks thats exactly the thing I wanted. I saw this function already but wasn' sure how to get the command sender

[knotty vigil]

Yes I understand, what I meant was decompile their command and view their source code on that class to see how they're playing the sounds rather than going through the command system to play sounds.

[austere cloak]

Yeah, too much code for me😅 I decompiled everything already but I was sure that an easy function for executing commands exists

[knotty vigil]

AmbienceFX ambienceFX = (AmbienceFX)this.ambienceFxIdArg.get(context);
AmbienceResource ambienceResource = (AmbienceResource)store.getResource(AmbienceResource.getResourceType());
ambienceResource.setForcedMusicAmbience(ambienceFX.getId());

[austere cloak]

interesting...this means I can change ambience music in code without executing the command?

[knotty vigil]

Exactly.

[austere cloak]

Well, it seems that the commands "/ambience setmusic" and "/environment" are buggy. It won't work even with ingame prompting

For example:

/ambience setmusic Mus_Goblin_Army

And it says"World forced ambience music set to Mus_Goblin_Army" but nothing changed

And

/environment Goblin_Army

says "you haven't made a selection"

same for build in music and env

[neat pelican]

/environment is part of the builder tools and needs a worldedit-like selection so it knows which area to apply the environment to

[austere cloak]

ah, is there a way to force it globally and clear it later?

[neat pelican]

I don't think you can select "the entire world" with BuilderTools, no.

[austere cloak]

Before the last hytale update the environment temporally changed when you selected a env in the asset editor. So I think there should be a way

[neat pelican]

What's wrong with just playing audio to your players directly? it feels like you're trying to abuse all sorts of unrelated systems that play audio in some way or antother

Are you actually trying to change the environment? Or just want to play audio to players?

[austere cloak]

For now I need music only but later env changes too

[neat pelican]

you can update the selection with BuilderState#pos1(), .pos2(), .update(), etc, apply an environment via .environment(), and undo it with .undo()

just be careful to not lose your undo when doing multiple changes

[austere cloak]

there is no easier way right now? like override the env globally?

[austere cloak]

And any idea why this isn't working?

[neat pelican]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Environment looks like it's applied to every individual block

Via EnvironmentChunk (Component<ChunkStore>) and EnvironmentColumn

[austere cloak]

I am not sure how it's handled internally but you can assign them to biomes

[neat pelican]

You could edit worldgen to force only a single environment to be used, and then edit the asset itself

[austere cloak]

I am using world gen V2. I have environments assigned in the node graphs. For every Biome and special caves etc. But my goal is that world events like the goblin army are able to override the environment at runtime globally

So the question is whether it is possible to to force a specific environment globally at runtime

The world gen V2 graph is not really runtime it seems that changes trigger a command to regenerate chunks. But chunk regeneration for simple environments change at runtime would be bad

[silk haven]

World v2 is out????

[austere cloak]

Not for the base game but for modders

[eternal spade]

is anyone aware if there's some sort of listener for something like onCraft, via the asset editor or otherwise somewhere? I want to do something when a player hits craft for an item

[eternal spade]

If I want to make a custom interaction, do I need to code that?

[warped sentinel]

does anyone know of a way to manually change a pre existing's biome type. like in an already generated world, switching one biome to another?

[sterile forum]

Not if it does things that the usual interactions can do. Then it can be a existing one with config changes.

[sterile forum]

Probably have to change the world generator and reset those chunks. Or you have to make a system that can replace all blocks in the biome with the replacement you want, and that would probably create really large savefiles, since it would be a build the nr of blocks the size of the biomes.

[sterile forum]

Well per column, it doesn't specify depth, the environment are part of the generator settings, so it needs to know the information per column generated. for void world i saw they only used the id for the env and a tint color.

[warped sentinel]

then is there at least a way to stop entities for example of zone 1 spawning if i want to change what spawns in that region or area?

[sterile forum]

infinite amount of ways essentially, depending on what one intends exactly.

[warped sentinel]

simply to remove an areas spawns completely so I can set my own

[sterile forum]

a listener for when a spawner component is added, check the env its in and remove it if its the wrong one.

[warped sentinel]

now how does one do that, or would I have to design / code that myself

[sterile forum]

design and code yourself.

[warped sentinel]

ok thank you

[sterile forum]

At least i dont think there is a command for it.

Once a world have been created, you would have to change the world type and trigger a regen right?

Or could one just toss the world data in the folder?

[minor elbow]

Hi !
Anyone know how to group block and transform to entity ?

Or at least, how do I create an entity? Or register new entity ?

[neat pelican]

An entity is a collection of components. Check out NPCPlugin.get().spawnEntity() for an example:

1. Create a holder via Holder<EntityStore> holder = EntityStore.REGISTRY.newHolder();;
2. Create components (Component<EntityStore>) and attach them to the holder: holder.addComponent(componentType, component)
3. Add the holder to the store to spawn the entity: Ref<EntityStore> ref = store.addEntity(holder, AddReason.SPAWN)
   The resulting Ref<EntityStore> is the handle to your entity

[neat pelican]

What do you mean "per column"? Each EnvironmentColumn has a list of environments for each y value, no?

[minor elbow]

Oh thanks, I'll write that down somewhere :D!
So I suppose the entity model is also a component 🤔

[sterile forum]

I migh have looked at a bad example. That one i saw sent in one env or env id for a column retrived by x,z in the chunk. I assumed it took a base env as config data and from it read out the distinct y level details.

But it could be other examples do multiple passes and only set env for the area it manipulates.

Yeah otherwise you couldnt have a mixed chunk environment...

[sterile forum]

Intended to reply to this in post above.

I was thinking block column in a chunk. Was unaware of a env column.

The core generation logic is not super complex. But it opens up for so many different implementations.

I am digging in to this more tonight to make a specific world generator for my needs and probably realize i been wrong about a lot all along. ^^

[neat pelican]

Correct! See the spawnEntity function i mentioned for reference:

if (spawnModel != null) {
    npcComponent.setInitialModelScale(spawnModel.getScale());
    holder.addComponent(ModelComponent.getComponentType(), new ModelComponent(spawnModel));
    holder.addComponent(PersistentModel.getComponentType(), new PersistentModel(spawnModel.toReference()));
}

[minor elbow]

I'll go check the function, thanks

[sterile forum]

You can extend from Entity for simpler visual entites, LivingEntity for... well yeah what its named. If you are not going for a NpcEntity.

But then the codec for your entity require you provide the same data as the base requires.

[minor elbow]

The idea is to have an entity that takes the place of a block

[sterile forum]

Yeah judgement call then if you gain anything from extending the predefined Entity or if its just a waste of data.

[minor elbow]

Well, I think a simple entity will be sufficient.

[hexed valley]

How can we add opacity to a background with UI? There is no opacity field in the style nor it is possible to add #fffff(0.5) to background hex color?

[sterile forum]

And the hex doesnt also take 8 instead of six hex values?

[neat pelican]

both work:

A color literal can be written as follows:
#rrggbb: 6-digit hexadecimal representation for red, green, blue (fully opaque)
#rrggbb(a.a): 6-digit hexadecimal representation for red, green, blue with alpha between 0 and 1
#rrggbbaa: 8-digit hexadecimal representation for red, green, blue and alpha
https://hytalemodding.dev/en/docs/official-documentation/custom-ui/markup#colors

[sterile forum]

So if (0.5) doesnt work 8 values wouldnt either i guess?
Is it that you have some additional element behind that shows or that the element is a compound element and you just set parts of it transparent?

Or do as i do constantly? change the ui file before i close the server and it syncs back the file to before the changes where made and i end up starting with the old values?

Dani. You are the most knowledgable Java dev i know.

Any suggestion or best practice for code/file generators in java?

[neat pelican]

I just use IDEA's Alt+Insert contextual generators

[sterile forum]

Ah ok. I was considering something that might autogenerate event bindings and ui references from named parameters in a ui file or the reverse.

But i guess i could figureout a gradlestep that just runs some logic and output to a file when triggered.

[hexed valley]

It just throws me an error HUD when I try to connect to my server :/

Im gonna see where that comes from then

[neat pelican]

make sure to enable debug mode in your client settings

[austere cloak]

Is there a way to change a model of a npc/entity at runtime? Or exchange a npc with another?

I've found this but there is no setter method like SetModel()...

ModelComponent model =
store.getComponent(Ref, ModelComponent.getComponentType());

Maybe this way?😅 I remove the model component and add a new one.

ModelAsset modelAsset = ModelAsset.getAssetMap().getAsset("NewModel");
        Model model = Model.createScaledModel(modelAsset, 1.0f);
        Ref.getStore().removeComponent(Ref, ModelComponent.getComponentType());
        Ref.getStore().addComponent(Ref, ModelComponent.getComponentType(), new ModelComponent(model));

[brave mural]

Does anyone know how i can trigger my own custom events to other plugins like hytale does?

Do i need to use EventBus ?

[unborn nebula]

What kind of custom event are you looking to add?

Just plugin interaction?

[brave mural]

yea custom event something that i trigger in one plugin and for example react in another plugin

[unborn nebula]

sounds interesting - I don't know the answer but I'll be watching

[sterile forum]

You can register global events i think that goes outside ecs or ecs events.

I am still not sure if you need some reference if linking to other mods events. There is some type discovery in java i dont quite get.

[spark sail]

Hi guys does any one know if I can UICommandBuilder.set("#id.Style.TextColor", ...) is this supported?.

[neat pelican]

There are two component related to entity models: PersistentModel, and ModelComponent

[austere cloak]

Ah thanks. How can I set the model? I need a ModelReference but how can I get a ModelReference for my model?

pModel.setModelReference(model);

hello! how do i identify which chunk to delete? like is the coordinates in the game the same as the region.bin files it stores in the server

[viscid lily]

hello how can i add commands node "coins.admin" like this. without "com.example.coins.admin"?
or should i remove com directory as a what i want?

[sterile forum]

what is a commands node?

[viscid lily]

every command have a unique nodes
"hytale.command.warp"
"hytale.command.warp.list"

[sterile forum]

You are talking about the text translations?

[neat pelican]

are you calling withPermission("coins.admin") in the command constructor?

[viscid lily]

nvm i fix it thx

[neat pelican]

what was the problem?

[viscid lily]

it was about the wrong naming 😄

Is update 4 pre-release error handling broken?

[2026/03/05 15:38:28   INFO]                    [HytaleServer] Shutting down... 9  'client.disconnection.shutdownReason.pluginError.detail'```

How is one supposed to know which plugin did error if the error that tells what error did error is also having an error?

[sterile forum]

did you look in the log files and look in the console output, did you run the server with --debug?

[maiden relic]

I was gonna say, maybe they lowered the default verbosity.

[unreal dust]

with debug no, but the log file is a normal boot and no error it just stops with the shutdown message which doesn't trigger the error or a stacktrace

--debug doesn't work with aot cache letme see if I can disable that

[unreal dust]

wait a minute startup doesn't accept --debug, what are you talking about?

[sterile forum]

i assumed you where running the server trough an idea with gradle runserver.

[unreal dust]

ah no just cloned release into pre-release and seeing what errors it's facing, but it's not letting me where which plugins are triggering error

[maiden relic]

maybe --log=debug

[unreal dust]

client.disconnection.shutdownReason.pluginError.detail this seems to be a bug, it's unable to throw the error

[sterile forum]

but if you are just flipping from release to prerelease with old mods, then you should expect everything to break.

[neat pelican]

It's expected that there is an error. It's not expected that the error message is unreadable

[unreal dust]

yeah just preparing need to get past the mods that proper broke because I know there's a bulk of mods no longer being maintained

[sterile forum]

That is true.

[unreal dust]

sadly nope java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Bad level "DEBUG"

[sterile forum]

But in that case you could add them one by one instead of all at one go and hope.

[maiden relic]

[unreal dust]

yeah it makes this much much harder to go through to find what mod is it, funtimes ahead

[sterile forum]

Well you could also do the binary search, and half of them, if it still breaks, take half of them, once they are validated you can start breaking down the other onces. Then you might get fewer checks for broken ones.

[neat pelican]

these are the debug levels

    private static final Level[] standardLevels = {
        OFF, SEVERE, WARNING, INFO, CONFIG, FINE, FINER, FINEST, ALL
    };

but I doubt that'll help in this case

[unreal dust]

isn't all enabled by default when the config is empty?

[sterile forum]

in release i would expect it to be severe or maybe warning

[neat pelican]

No, when I log in my plugin, nothing at FINE or lower get's logged unless I pass --log MyMod:FINEST

[prime echo]

I think there's a big problem with the Attitude System, and the best example would be: You can't easily have "other NPCs" treat an NPC as it would treat the Player.
The NPC (Ex: Skeleton_Fighter.json) or the template it's derived from (ex: Template_Intelligent.json), can have an AttitudeGroup set to [something] or "Empty".
It is often "Empty". In that case Attitude will depend on the defaults: DefaultPlayerAttitude ("Hostile" in this case) and DefaultNPCAttitude ("Ignore" in this case).
The NPCGroup(s) the NPC belongs to is only used in the "target" portion of an AttitudeGroup definition(Ex: Hostile : GroupX, GroupY)

I created a new NPCGroup called "PlayerTeam", and I added/modified AttitudeGroup(s) to have specific attitudes towards this group and vice-versa.
But unless I "override" every single NPC (or at least the Templates) to change the AttitudeGroup from "Empty" to one that "has" Attitude definitions for the PlayerTeam, I cannot have other NPC treat my NPC as it would the player.

What WOULD make sense to me would be to have the NPCGroup (and other Groups) determine the Attitudes towards other groups. Or at LEAST permit the NPCGroup to override and AttitudeGroup from the NPC/Template. (fitting today's environment of group identity politics ?!)
It would allow you to create a group, assign a bunch of templates/NPC to that group and presto you have Attitude management for that any and all members of that group.

Or for this exact use-case: Add a parameter in the NPC definition that would set this NPC as a "PlayerAlly", which would cause the DefaultPlayerAttitude to be used instead of the DefaultNPCAttitude

But if i'm missing an easy solution, please enlighten me. I'm actually hoping for that.

[unreal dust]

Ok pre-release deff need to be updated again before release because no way the error handling is working.

[HytaleServer] Shutting down... 6 'client.disconnection.shutdownReason.validateError.detail' how is one supposed to make sense of it D:

[hoary viper]

Hi, any one know how i can restrict a player form interaction with a block (F key) and also restrict breaking of the block?

[nova bronze]

which comes first? the block or the interaction? lmao

[hoary viper]

block 😅

[nova bronze]

I never miss an opportunity for a dumb joke

[remote flicker]

That message is the one that gets displayed in the client if its the one that booted the server, if you need the exact details you need to get the error from the log file yourself

[unreal dust]

I'm tad confused, the validateError will output the plugins it's

this one client.disconnection.shutdownReason.pluginError.detail does not, I was removing mods until I found what was causing that sudden shutdown without further logging, after removing the culprit that It got to client.disconnection.shutdownReason.validateError.detail

edit: Ok it was Simply Trash causing the boot fail, the server just continued to boot normally past the Failed to setup plugin message so it didn't look like that had anything to do with the shutdown.

Hello, I would like to know how to solve this problem. I don't understand, even though I imported my 3D model correctly and I think I did everything right, I can't figure out how to easily create potions. For now, I based it on the bandage, thinking it would be simpler, but now my model looks weird (unfortunately, I can't post a screenshot here). Could you help me solve my problem?

[velvet meadow]

How do you get the spawn point of the world? I can only find methods which pass world and uuid (of entity?) as parameters. I assume every world has a spawn point to begin with?

[verbal carbon]

Can someone help me fix my texture bug, please?

[near onyx]

i just pass in a random UUID.
I think its meant if you have more than one spawn point, it uses the UUID for some random stuff.
You could also just get the list and use the first element
You can also go into the code under SpawnCommand#resolveSpawn and see how they handle it

[hoary viper]

I still need help guys

BreakBlockEvent figure out if the block you don't want to break and cancel the event.

[hoary viper]

UseBlockEvent is this for every kidn of intraction to a block ?

Does anybody know how to get a entity component in the event player connect and player disconnect?

[neat pelican]

public class WelcomeSystem extends RefSystem<EntityStore> {

    @NullableDecl
    @Override
    public Query<EntityStore> getQuery() {
        return PlayerRef.getComponentType(); // Only run for Players
    }

    @Override
    public void onEntityAdded(@NonNullDecl Ref<EntityStore> ref, @NonNullDecl AddReason addReason, @NonNullDecl Store<EntityStore> store, @NonNullDecl CommandBuffer<EntityStore> commandBuffer) {
        var component = store.getComponent(ref, myComponentType);
    }
}

This is run every time a player joins and leaves a world

[brave mural]

Mhh, i need it when he joins / leaves the server

[neat pelican]

that's before and after the player is in the entitystore, so too early and too late to interact with it

[brave mural]

Does that also get triggered like leaving world and entering world

when he joins / leaves?. Has to right ?

[neat pelican]

if the server has no worlds for example, the player connects and disconnects (due to error) without ever joining a world

[brave mural]

Mhh, well i want to save data to a database whenever player joins / leaves the server but i need access to the component system which doesnt work i suppose

[brave mural]

Also, i suppose it always triggers onEntityRemoved first before onEntityAdded?

when swapping between worlds?

[neat pelican]

haven't tested it

[shell hawk]

Is someone able to explain to me how i have to register an Entity Interaction?

[austere cloak]

Why is this not working?
The code gets executed and no message or error in the log.

PersistentModel pModel =
store.getComponent(Ref, PersistentModel.getComponentType());

    ModelReference model = new ModelReference("Model_Form2", 1.0f, null);
    pModel.setModelReference(model);

Was anyone able to make chests drop items from a custom spawn table?

[unreal dust]

Any alternative to Weapon Stats Viewer plugin? Hasn't been updated sadly

[gusty hull]

Did you make a custom chest and it isn’t dropping items when broke?

[spring cedar]

I don’t know how to create a custom spawn table to link it to the chest

• the chest needs to respawn which is making the whole process harder

[gusty hull]

Oh, so you are wanting a chest to random spawn with random items in your world?

[spring cedar]

Yeah

I’ve looked around in the Asset Editor but I wasn’t able to find anything useful

[gusty hull]

This will more than likely require a mod/plugin and not an asset to work

[spring cedar]

That was expected =/

Thanks

Is there not one on CurseForge already?

[oblique onyx]

nvm, got this too work

[spring cedar]

I’m not aware of that

[sterile forum]

Is the documentation old or recently changed or did i just do something weird?
I added a component in a on entity add event on a player entity, with add Component. It saves it loads etc.
But reading the official documents afterwards it states that the component will only be added in memory and not saved and should be added with put in case one wants it to save?

[shy narwhal]

Im a little confused by the authentication section https://support.hytale.com/hc/en-us/articles/45328341414043-Server-Provider-Authentication-Guide#method-b-device-code-flow-rfc-8628-

It doesnt seem to mention, what happens once your refresh token expires after the 30 days?

Am I expected to have to log in via a browser and grant a new one? Like... do I write it in my calendar to go and get a new refresh token twice a month?

Is there really no way to automate extending the refresh token, or using it to get another before it has expired?

[sterile forum]

I could be wrong but a standard is that each time it use the access token and if its old it will use the refresh token to create a new access token and that will result in a new refresh token as well?

[shy narwhal]

oh okay maybe, I will check if thats the case

[sterile forum]

i think its the main oauth work flow when utilizing refresh tokens.

[dry pagoda]

does anybody know why calling:
velocityComponent.addInstruction(new Vector3d(0, 129, 0), null, ChangeVelocityType.Set);
on a player works fine but :
velocityComponent.addInstruction(new Vector3d(0, 130, 0), null, ChangeVelocityType.Set);
breaks completely and just keeps sending the player infinitely upwards

[bronze pulsar]

no

[remote flicker]

add/put have nothing to do with saving, they are just different operations.

Add only allows you to "add" a component so it fails if it already exists.
Put lets you either add or overwrite a component.

Saving is determined by

1. If the entity has the base components needed to be saved (e.g. Transform, ...)
2. The component is setup with a codec so it can be serialised

[remote flicker]

Space is correct. The refresh token is also refreshed when your access token is refreshed.

You should only need to manually authenticate if you turn your server off for >30 days

[sterile forum]

Good to know, then it was just a weird description or legacy probably.

[knotty vigil]

So say someone has a rank or type of currency, would you recommend me to use a database or component to store said data?

I’m a little confused on the component system and the intention of it… Thank you in advance.

[sterile forum]

Component system is meant to make things smaller, and more losely coupled, if you intend to store data for that server for that user, i would say it would be stored on the player, I would probably use a component. in the majority of cases I would say, never use a database, unless you have very good reasons to do so. I would even say dump a file to disk with your own logic before going trough the trouble of setting up a database.

Unless you need very specific cross mutliple running servers tracking of data.

If you add a component to a player and set up det codec correct it will save all the component data to disk in that players file that already gets created each time the player is saved by default.
Using a datbase, that would mean setting up a database mapping for user on ids, creating up the tables making sure read and writes happen at the right time, and all other database angst and queries.

The core idea of components is that you can have specific system that applies just the logic that is needed without having to know the rest of the entity structure, that only need to get the relevant components in question to do said logic, without needing to pull all other data, also they get organized better in memory, and could if done right give quite the performance boost.

The systems essntially comes in the flavor of triggered by event, or triggered by tick depending on what you need, might be cases i miss.
So if you need a ui that track all players current currency in realtime, that would probably be a ticking system talking with a custom ui, using data from the currency component and player component.
If you are shopping, being just a one off thing, it would probably be a AttemptPurchase event, that might change into other events as each ImplementedEventHandler, does it thing and decides what happens next, or a single larger event doing it all. Depends a bit on preference as well.

[knotty vigil]

First of all, I want to say thank you for this detailed response. It most definitely cleared the questions I had. I have nothing to say. You answered that well 👏

[unreal dust]

Does anyone know if Violet will maintain the furnishings mod update before the release update next week?

The furnishing mod fails asset validation on update 4, and I'm not sure why. But if can't fix before the update it'll fail every placed object

The update 4 server is more strict, it will refuse to boot if the mod ain't removed unlike attm.

[unborn nebula]

try adding --skip-mod-validation when loading the server?

[unreal dust]

skip-mod-validation is not a recognized option

[unborn nebula]

on the server jar? I've seen many people refer to that option

If you mean on single player worlds, there's a checkmark in the "Advanced Options" for the world

[unreal dust]

doing it with a lauch parameter yeah --accept-early-plugins --auth-mode authenticated --assets Assets.zip --bind etc, but it refuses the parameter

it's a dedicated server on linux

I just searched on discord just saw someone else asking if they removed this option on pre-release

[unborn nebula]

well. that sucks.

[unreal dust]

hypixel be like authoritarian regime on modding, it's either the modders update every update or no deal xD

I just bringing this up because the last thing I want is furniture content mods failing (macaw's one fails too) and if the modder doesn't provide the update before release there's no going back once placed blocks fail

I fear violet's furniture will be one of those, so finding what needs to be done to fix, I'll just try to fix on my side beforehand

[unborn nebula]

to be fair though people shouldn't be deploying actual servers on pre-release

[unreal dust]

I need to go because how else will you know what breaks and prepare for an update set to release next week

a side test server not the main server on pre-release ofc

[unborn nebula]

ok so... now you do know which one will break, so... wasn't that a successful test?

[unreal dust]

I know it breaks, the problem is, unless I want a tsunami of purple blocks decorating everyone's buildings I must find a way to have the mod survive update 4

[unborn nebula]

I'd say the only real way to know whether a plugin will be updated will be to look on the comment section in curseforge and see what's gong on there. Unless you want to ping violet directly. that's also an option.

[unreal dust]

It's a hugely popular mod violet will surely be pinged, after it breaks and there's no recovery, the only way is updating during pre-release before servers update to update 4

right now almost nobody knows what's ahead of them if the furniture mods break, the updates need to be provided ahead of time or placed blocks fail

[unborn nebula]

@nova bronze would you like to weigh in ?

[narrow flare]

Does anyone know how to hide all entities except a certain one for a player?

[unreal dust]

it's not that violet :p

[unborn nebula]

I dunno man I'm just saying vaguely asking in the aether probably isn't useful 😛

[unreal dust]

it's the hypixel violet, she got hired

On update 3 the only issue was the validation warnings, that can be skipped. This time it seems to be something more strict, if it can be bypassed fine but that skip option seems to have been removed, perhaps someone will find a workaround

[maiden relic]

Looking at her mods, I can see why they hired her tbh

[unreal dust]

yep pretty high quality work, I just hope she can get ahead of update 4 to prevent the update releasing and the mod having to be removed to be able to boot the server, because that'll ruin a lot of people's worlds.

Oh I just told macaw he'll fix it on his side and let violet know \o/

[maiden relic]

who is that?

[nova bronze]

bwuh

[unborn nebula]

sorry about that

[unreal dust]

macaw? Just search macaw in curseforge xD

[nova bronze]

lmao

you guys can skip mod validation too btw

[unreal dust]

on update 4 the server does not accept the validation skip parameter btw.

but it doesn't seem to be a normal validation issue (the versionign stuff of update 3), only some specific mods fail it

[sterile forum]

Probably those that didn't fix calls that where marked deprecated functions in code last time around.

[unreal dust]

yeah maybe it's that. On update 4 the server doesn't log these errors by default, it just lists following mods failed: X X and X and you have to remove them to boot

[remote flicker]

Can you share/elaborate because the logs absolutely should have why it failed

[unreal dust]

Ok for example Violet's furnishings mod on current pre-release, server will fail to boot, it will log this:

Mod Violet:Violet's Furnishings failed to load. Check for mod updates or contact the mod author.
[2026/03/06 16:43:28   INFO] [HytaleServer] Shutdown triggered!!!
[2026/03/06 16:43:28   INFO] [HytaleServer] Shutting down... 6  'client.disconnection.shutdownReason.validateError.detail'```
When I search the log for messages related to the furnishings mod, it only shows the one where the pack loads, and this error at the end. I'll need to dig through every error on the log it didn't mention the mod on the error message perhaps

[remote flicker]

This is what I get when I tried to load it

these are all the asset errors which is why the mod is not loading

[unreal dust]

ah thank you I was searching around for furnishings but it error'd the specific assets

[remote flicker]

If you want to make the world still load you can use --ignore-broken-mods in the server arguments, this replaces the old --skip-mod-validation and is named better for what it does.

Or you could extract the asset pack's zip so its a folder, so the pack is "mutable".
When a pack is mutable we allow it to load with errors, and when its mutable it also allows you to modify the assets with the asset editor so you could possibly fix the issues yourself if you need.

[nova bronze]

yes

that's what I said earlier too

skip mod validation was more clear

[unreal dust]

that's helpful thanks! Yeah I was confused on it refusing the skip tag so it just got renamed

gonna filter my logs better for the SEVERE lines shouldn't have missed those error lines

[remote flicker]

except people assumed that "validation" meant the version check but it actually means, "this mod is broken and will not work correctly"

[nova bronze]

that's

[unreal dust]

on linux dedi at least you don't need to do anything to skip the mod versioning, that changed from that initial confusion with update 3 didn't it?

I just went mod by mod .jar and manually edit the manifests anyway

[brave mural]

How do you increase an entities Max HP ? Via code? I could not find a way in the entityStatmap to setMaxValue or something

[austere cloak]

I hope they fix the mod load order. I have validation issues with my mod because it loads before the dependencies. And I've added them in the manifest as dependency too

Since Update 3

[remote flicker]

Do you have a basic example or way to replicate this?

[austere cloak]

Maybe this helps:

1. Install any mod which adds content like weapons
2. Create a new world
3. Create a pack mod (Don't know if this is important but the first letter should be earlier in the alphabet than the other mod).
4. Duplicate an Item or Weapon from the installed mod to the newly created pack
5. Add the installed mod as dependency in manifest.json
6. Pack the custom mod to a .zip
7. Move it in the global mods folder
8. Create a new world with the custom mod and with the dependency mod
9. The interaction will not work and logs say missing interaction

And maybe interesting to know it worked a few times in my world where I am creating the mod (No missing Interaction etc ). But never when I packaged it to a .zip.

[tardy kelp]

Is PlayerMouseButtonEvent called by the server when you interact with an entity?

[shy narwhal]

Seeing that you're at Hypixel Studios, I would like to suggest this to be mentioned in the manual 🙂 For right now I dont see any text mentioning how this refresh works. Does the same refresh token simply get its life cycle extended every time I use it?

[knotty vigil]

@sterile forum Sorry to bother you but I figured you would be the best to answer this question with what we were talking about earlier today.

I am wondering how you would organize shared data. Lets say each user can create a world, nobody can join/edit that world unless the owner allows the user to do so via inviting them or letting them temporary visit. Where would I store the data for the world data so the server knows who's the owner and who is coop in the world, etc. Do you understand what I am asking?

[knotty vigil]

I'm pretty sure interaction is caused by a key bind, "F". So I believe no to answer your question.

There's an interaction event I believe

[tardy kelp]

I tested 2 events and no one worked :((

[knotty vigil]

How are you registering the listener?

[tardy kelp]

with EventRegistry

[neat pelican]

Register a "resource" to the world's store with that info

[remote flicker]

No the token gets replaced when you do a refresh.
To do a token refresh the server provides the refresh token and gets back a new refresh + access token.

[spare meteor]

@tardy kelp Might want to check out InteractionModule

ItemUtils.interactivelyPickupItem

frustrates me so much, the event triggers but modifying the item doesn't work since it never reads the itemStack from the event...

[neat pelican]

Good catch!
https://accounts.hytale.com/feedback

[spare meteor]

What catagory am I supposed to put it under?

[neat pelican]

I'd do feedback

Right now, it's intended behavior with being able to override it being an oversight, not a bug imo

[spare meteor]

For sure, just inconstancy when looking at other event events.

Example being ItemUtils.throwItem

[knotty vigil]

So I want to add "tags" to permission groups. What's the standard for doing so? Shall I link a database entry to the group and read off there? Or is there a way to add it to the pre-existing permission provider by hytale?

[spare meteor]

Do you mean like subgroups? or something else

[knotty vigil]

Prefixes, suffixes, colored names, etc.

I'm thinking that I need to make my own permission provider and attach to a database.

[spare meteor]

AbstractCommand:

private List<String> permissionGroups;

groups are just strings from a quick look up, but as far as I know there is no limit to number of groups a user can have

[knotty vigil]

Yes, I understand but I'm wanting the user to have a prefix, suffix, colored name say on their player tag or in chat.

[knotty vigil]

I'm just gonna go with this route for now 🙏

[spare meteor]

Fair enough, I would have just used groups for storage and fetched what groups a user has, then modify based on groups they have

[knotty vigil]

I want the edits to be modular and not hard coded though, how would I get/save the data on the groups? ( prefixes, suffixes, etc.)

Like the admin would be able to easily do /rank setprefix <rank-name> <prefix> with the predefined groups from the hytale permission system.

[spare meteor]

Gotcha Gotcha, would need to look for what storage mechanisms the game has. I know there is the Config which could be written and read on boot, and saved while running.

com.hypixel.hytale.server.core.util.Config: While this meant for setting for your mod, I can see a case where you could design it to be a datastore for such information

[remote flicker]

Fixed, will be in the pre-release next week.
Also made it so cancelling the event doesn't drop the item anymore, its a little weird that it did that before.

[remote flicker]

A group in the server is simply a string id and a set of permissions, it doesn't have any extra data

[knotty vigil]

Which I completely understand but I want to add extra data. To do so, make my own class implementing PermissionProvider and hook up with a database?

[remote flicker]

Yeah you would probably want to implement your own PermissionProvider so you can store the data in a different way. Doesn't need to be a database but at least in a different structure so that you have that extra data you want to save for a group.
You don't have to do it that way though, you could simply store extra data that uses the group name as the key.

Since you would need a way to fetch that extra data anyway it doesn't really matter if its in the same thing the server uses or a separate thing alongside it.

[neat pelican]

That's huge, thank you! 👏

One of the most common things that trips up people here

[main valley]

has anyone hosted, a hytale server using the discord? A discord I'm in just got Game servers featured enabled so, we are wondering how the experience is, etc...

[near onyx]

is this also referring to cancelling the UseBlockEvent.Pre event?
Because i noticed if you cancel using a berry bush, it drops and breaks the bush.
(where the event is called, if its cancelled, the state is set to failed. i feel like maybe it should be skip instead of failed?!?!?)

[gusty hull]

I used Luckperms to add tags, nickname, colored name, and chat color. If this is what you’re talking about.

[gusty hull]

I have not seen one yet.

[acoustic shuttle]

Is it possible to create custom visuals (in world space, not HUD) that are visible through blocks like health bars?

[gusty hull]

Are you speaking of like a hologram over a block?

[acoustic shuttle]

Yes. The hologram would be an image, not a nametag.

[gusty hull]

I haven't seen any, but haven' t looked for that specific thing.

[gusty hull]

There are hologram mods on curseforge that might do what you are wanting.

[acoustic shuttle]

Those just create nametags, they aren't visisble through blocks unfortunately.

[knotty vigil]

Yes, I know LuckPerms exist. Thank you. I just prefer to easily add it to my own mod.

[knotty vigil]

Cool. I got it done! Appreciate the help!

[gusty hull]

I was going to do that, but already had LP installed so I just used it to run my chat formatting.

[cerulean harbor]

Yes, and I would recommend you that you don't use it unless you've got boosts that are like not going to be used like you've gotten every other feature enabled that you need.

It's cheaper to just buy a server from Nitrado / BisectHosting

[knotty vigil]

Are instances meant to be temporarily worlds that are unrecoverable/not meant to be saved, something like bedwars, skywars, etc? And worlds meant to be more permanent saves like survival worlds, skyblock, tycoon’s, etc.

[neat pelican]

Correct!

instances may be configured to be saved, but they're intended to be ephemeral and spun up/down on the fly

[eternal spade]

So, I wanted to make it so my bench is animated while I'm in the crafting interface so I changed the state id: crafting to StateData, my animation works as intended, however the crafting interface doesn't show up anymore and I'm not sure how to get both the interface and animate the bench at the same time

🔌 SmartInventoryBridge – Looking for Beta Testers!
Hey everyone! 👋

I've been working on a server plugin for Hytale that synchronizes player inventories across multiple servers – perfect for anyone building a server network.

What does the plugin do?
🔄 Inventory Sync – Your inventory automatically transfers when switching servers
🛡️ Dupe Protection – Prevents item duplication with a freeze system during sync
🗄️ Flexible Database Support – MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL & Redis
⚡ Crash Recovery – Inventories are safe even during server crashes
🧩 Mixin-based Protection – Blocks automatic item pickup during synchronization
Who am I looking for?
I'm looking for beta testers who want to put the plugin through its paces before release! Ideally:

You run (or plan to run) a Hytale server with multiple servers
You have experience with server administration
You're willing to report bugs and provide feedback
What you'll get:
✅ Early access to the plugin
✅ Direct line to me for support & feature requests
✅ Credit as a beta tester when the plugin is released
Interested? Just send me a DM! 📩

[quasi echo]

why would you want a mod that lets you have the same inventory on multiple servers?

[burnt eagle]

For example, citybuild systems that are distributed across multiple servers like CB1, CB2, and so on, or when you want to keep farm worlds completely separate from the citybuild server. 🙂

[quasi echo]

oh right i kept thinking about different server needs like factions or smp

[burnt eagle]

😄

[tawdry geode]

I am trying my teeth on type 3 inventory rn, every join spawns you with the Same inventory but you can upgrade its parts

[verbal carbon]

Hi! I need some advice for my WizardTale project. I'm looking to implement:

Wands: A system so that there are several that work (visual change only).

Spells: A selection menu (wheel or list type) accessible via right-click with a wand, and I would like them to be obtainable by finding spell pages or something similar.

How would you advise me to organize this technically so that it is fluid and easy to code? Thank you!

[knotty vigil]

Well, I’d suggest taking a look at these 2 pages. It’ll be useful for your interactions and items.

https://hytalemodding.dev/en/docs/guides/plugin/inventory-management
https://hytalemodding.dev/en/docs/guides/plugin/item-interaction

[hearty sinew]

Wait, are links allowed now?

[near onyx]

""official"" links are allowed
not github tho

[sterile forum]

all projects on github are not offical from Hytale.

[near onyx]

well i know that 😉 just sucks you cant share libraries or snippets or anything.
or "hey, here's my class, help me"
because ... "no advertising"

[knotty vigil]

It’s a community page made by known people in here. I’m sure it’s fine. I believe I’ve seen it posted before. I don’t see why it would be an issue…

[neat pelican]

It's also the place where Hytale's official docs (custom ui, npcs, worldgen) currently live. That's why we asked for the whitelist

[versed hinge]

Anyone have any good resources/advice for remaking open computers in hytale?

[hearty sinew]

For a while sharing any links got your messages deleted.

[unborn nebula]

Still does except for hytale.com and hytalemodding , basically

[unborn nebula]

start by googling how to run LUA scripts in java, maybe? (or whatever scripting language you want to use)

heck if you can find the opencomputers source code... would be even better

[versed hinge]

That would probably be a good first step haha

[ionic ermine]

Hi all,
If I wanted to cut a field(?) "Default Attachments" out of ModelAsset and throw it into the ApplyEffect interaction under EffectId, how could I do that? Learning Java has been going... real slow.

[ionic ermine]

If it is as simple as migrating the DefaultAttachments part of the code from ModelAsset and throwing it into the ApplyEffect Interaction, then guidance on how to do so would be tremendously appreciated!

[sterile forum]

Lua, yeah that would probably be a fast way to do it for a broader userbase.
I played with the idea but was considered doing it using 6502 or Chip8 bytecode/asm support. But adding some work to see if one could push it up to using full sized bytes logic instead of breaking things down to nibbles.

But finding the right language, with a good vm is really important.
In the ideal world, the vm for each machine is isolated or partially isolated to that machine as well. So any crash that brings down the vm interperter due to error in one machine, only that machine crash due to the "hardware failiure" instead of bringing down the entire VM environment for all machines on the server.

How might one handle breaking double beds? With single beds, you cannot break another users bed... because that just makes sense. For double beds, the story is slightly different. There are three options I can think of:

1. Anyone can break the bed.
2. Only owners can break the bed.
3. Only the primary owner (first registrant) can break the bed.

I prefer 3, but it does prevent your base partner from redecorating. 2 comes with a trade off where a troll comes along, enters someone else's bed, and then breaks it. Unless there's a suitable 4th option?

[maiden relic]

Are you tracking the bed entity after ownership?

Like if someone picks it up, and is in their inventory, and when they place it back down they would still have ownership? Or I guess how are you determining "Ownership"

[void wagon]

Nah, ownership works in a similar way to interacting with a bed for the first time after placing it. You give it a name. That assigns your UUID to the Bed's RespawnBlock component. When it comes to double beds, it's just allowing two UUIDs to be assigned and you would be co-owner in a sense.

So breaking the bed would remove all owners as it would if it's a single bed. Logically, that's the simplest most vanilla-like implementation

[stark holly]

Mix a permission system with a microClaim system where you "Grant decorating" in your house with your "partner" or "Co-Dweller" and then only you two can place the bed in "home areas" which prevents the Trolling of placing beds in someone elses house and claiming them (you build that into the claim perm where only people with permissions may sleep in the bunkbed or any bed if you want) then anyone with deco or sleep perms could break it or redecorate and avoid trolling but exploring beds are free for all for anyone to break them

If you want to prevent Land Claim trolling where people claim large areas make it a Block you place when you First join the game and you only get one each so coDwellers can have a bigger area vs solo dwellers (Caution with your claim depth though or the claim owns it all the way to bedrock and noone can mine through the lower areas [in some cases this is a good thing but in others not so much]) you could also allow upgrading of the landclaim block for larger areas the more they play but that beets the co-dweller system cause you would have to have a radius around them that anotehr person couldnt claim in so there is room to expand

[snow monolith]

I've been stuck on this for more than one day, and your solution doesn't seem to solve my problem (marker showing on compass, but not on map ?)

        UserMapMarker userMapMarker = new UserMapMarker();
        userMapMarker.setId("user_test" + UUID.randomUUID());
        userMapMarker.setPosition(250, 250);
        userMapMarker.setName("Test marker");
        userMapMarker.setIcon("User1.png");
        userMapMarker.setColorTint(new Color((byte) 140, (byte) 255, (byte) 0));
        userMapMarker.withCreatedByName("Moi");
        userMapMarker.withCreatedByUuid(playerRef.getUuid());

        WorldMarkersResource markersStore = world.getChunkStore().getStore().getResource(WorldMarkersResource.getResourceType());
        markersStore.addUserMapMarker(userMapMarker);```
Are you spotting a error on my part ?

[near onyx]

looks about the same as my code, i would assume it would work

[snow monolith]

hum

[near onyx]

i would recommend maybe trying to get the marker by id, and try remove it first just in case its cached or something.
Ex:

WorldMarkersResource worldMarkersResource = store.getResource(WorldMarkersResource.getResourceType());
UserMapMarker oldMarker = worldMarkersResource.getUserMapMarker(id);
if (oldMarker != null) {
    worldMarkersResource.removeUserMapMarker(id);
}
worldMarkersResource.addUserMapMarker(userMapMarker);

then again your ID is random so that shouldnt happen

[snow monolith]

I've removed the markers before with a command so idk

[near onyx]

im le stumped sorry

[snow monolith]

Do you need to update the map or something after the command ?

[near onyx]

i have nothing in mine to update

[snow monolith]

ok ok

[near onyx]

just gonna ask a silly question, but to verify:
userMapMarker.setPosition(250, 250);
You're near that position that it would show on your map, yeah?

[snow monolith]

Yea i'm on it, also i'm running around the marker (on the compass) lol

[near onyx]

long shot, try without the color

[snow monolith]

gonna try, good idea, gonna remove some values also

[sterile forum]

It's nothing stupid like the issues people had with codecs, where it really dislikes lowercase on the first letter of keys.
Can you change SetId to "User_test" + ...?

[snow monolith]

oh

[near onyx]

also to verify, User1 is a custom one?

[sterile forum]

Probably not it, but if it is, it would be hell to find i guess.

[snow monolith]

No, it's the default one if you don't have a file (a green background with a cross)

[near onyx]

i dont see that one, i see UserA

these are all the ones i see in the file
Campfire, Coordinate, Death, Home, OutsideViewMarker, Player, PlayerAbove, PlayerBelow, Portal, PortalInvasion, Prefab, Spawn, Temple_Gateway, UserA, UserB, UserC, UserD, UserE, UserF, Warp.

[snow monolith]

It was the Icon..

public void handleUserCreateMarker(PlayerRef playerRef, CreateUserMarker packet) {
      Ref<EntityStore> ref = playerRef.getReference();
      if (ref != null) {
         UserMarkerValidator.PlaceResult validation = UserMarkerValidator.validatePlacing(ref, packet);
         if (validation instanceof UserMarkerValidator.CanSpawn canSpawn) {
            Store var13 = ref.getStore();
            UserMapMarkersStore markersStore = canSpawn.markersStore();
            DisplayNameComponent displayNameComponent = var13.getComponent(ref, DisplayNameComponent.getComponentType());
            String createdByName = displayNameComponent == null ? playerRef.getUsername() : displayNameComponent.getDisplayName().getRawText();
            UserMapMarker userMapMarker = new UserMapMarker();
            userMapMarker.setId("user_" + (packet.shared ? "shared" : "personal") + "_" + UUID.randomUUID());
            userMapMarker.setPosition(packet.x, packet.z);
            userMapMarker.setName(packet.name);
            userMapMarker.setIcon(packet.markerImage == null ? "User1.png" : packet.markerImage);
            userMapMarker.setColorTint(packet.tintColor == null ? new Color((byte)0, (byte)0, (byte)0) : packet.tintColor);
            userMapMarker.withCreatedByName(createdByName);
            userMapMarker.withCreatedByUuid(playerRef.getUuid());
            markersStore.addUserMapMarker(userMapMarker);
         } else {
            if (validation instanceof UserMarkerValidator.Fail(Message displayNameComponent)) {
               playerRef.sendMessage(displayNameComponent.color("#ffc800"));
            }
         }
      }
   }``` Here's the vanilla method, since I saw the User1.png, I thought it worked lol

Thanks A LOT, been stuck for embarassingly too much time and I tried so many classes and methods and finally it was just a png error lool

[austere cloak]

Is there a way to play an animation on a npc in java? (I have a ref to the npc "Ref<EntityStore>")

[near onyx]

wonder if thats old, non working code.

[snow monolith]

It's maybe old code, or it's never null in practice and so no one realized the png doesn't exist anymore 🤷‍♂️

[near onyx]

thats the problem when you use Strings everywhere in your code, and forgot to change it... silly HyDevs

[near onyx]

glad you figured it out, wahoo!

[spare meteor]

Going to sound stupid... probably.. I am trying to create a class for modifying components stored on a player by my plugin, accessible by other plugins.

In order to be thread safe I need access to CommandBuffer, but this interface would be outside of Events/Ticks. So how could I make this class tick once per cycle OR access the commandBuffer to add something to the queue

[viscid lily]

Can i add stats to item like helm stats? Is it possible? Not a custom item. For default items example daggers, swords, bows, helm, gauntlet

[knotty vigil]

I have no need for the default permissions/group system provided by Hytale. Is there a way to disable PermissionsModule?

[neat pelican]

with /plugin disable and a flag to make it persistent, I believe

[knotty vigil]

Cool thanks

[lone crag]

i have a .zip mod that has items that glow, but they are very bright. where would i look to change the values of each item?

[neat pelican]

unzip it and edit the files directly, or in the asset editor

you can directly use the unzipped in your mods folder

[lone crag]

what file would it be, or what heading, would it be particles?

[neat pelican]

If you tell me which mod it is, I can take a look

[lone crag]

scuffed translucent glass. maker is n/a and its not updated for current version but still works. they used particles or something to achieve the transparency, but i guess particles glow. they are real cool, but some colors are very bright

[sick ridge]

is there a way to make the npcs restock instantly?

[neat pelican]

Edit Common/Particles/*_Crystal_Glass.png

[lone crag]

i thought i would have to edit a value somewhere, how do i edit a particle .png to be less bright?

[neat pelican]

turn down the color values

oh do you mean the light it's emitting?

[lone crag]

yea

[gusty hull]

This would be in the JSON file

[lone crag]

thats what i was thinking, but not sure where

[gusty hull]

look for particles

[neat pelican]

Server/Item/Items/CrystalGlass/*_Crystal_Glass_* -> Block/BlockLight/Color

In the JSON it's BlockType.Light.Color

[lone crag]

that gives me the color code for the light, but how would i change the intensity value?

[neat pelican]

make it darker

[lone crag]

its showing an NS.json and an EW.json for each pane, which is the one i need?

[neat pelican]

those are for North-South and East-West orientations

you need to edit both unless you only use one of these in your world for some reason

[lone crag]

ah, yea makes sense, ok. so im going to change that hex value to a darker one,

[neat pelican]

if you do it via the asset editor, you see it updated live

[lone crag]

oh? let me open it up

[neat pelican]

just make sure you have the unzipped file in your mods folder

zipped mods are read-only

[lone crag]

oh, gotcha, just unzip and throw it back in?

[neat pelican]

yep!

[knotty vigil]

Is there any stats on the players that we can use by default like firstJoined, lastJoined, playTime?

[quasi echo]

there are

[knotty vigil]

Wondering if there's a component for that I suppose.

Where is it located?

[quasi echo]

idk the specifics i use a mod on my server that has tags for that

[knotty vigil]

So it's not.

It's not via hytale. Thanks though, you answered my question without intending to!

[lucid vapor]

Does anyone know how to fix the random assets breaking. I try /update download --force but doesn't force the download.

[viscid lily]

@neat pelican sorry for ping. Do u know how can i do this?

[lone crag]

thanks for the help

[lone crag]

would fuel quality refer to the burn time?

fuelquality:60, is that 60 seconds?

[eternal spade]

Does anyone know where/what is making plants/assets move in the wind?

[lone crag]

whatever the item is, it should have an animation file or something

[eternal spade]

Nvm I fixed it, wasn't an animation

[earnest seal]

Can npcs do charged attacks?

[neat pelican]

I do not know. But quickly looking at Template_Weapon_Sword.json, it specifies Root_Weapon_Sword_Primary as the root interaction which specifies Weapon_Sword_Primary and looks like this:

Weapon_Sword_Primary (type: Charging)
Starts the primary interaction chain Weapon_Sword_Primary_Chain & handles stamina via Weapon_Sword_Primary_Thrust_StaminaCondition

Weapon_Battleaxe_Primary_Chain (type: Chaining)
Handles the fork between the different attack interactions (left, right, down)

Weapon_Sword_Primary_Swing_Left (type: Simple)
Handles swing animation and sound

Weapon_Sword_Primary_Swing_Left_Selector (type: Selector)
Handles trail effects and selects affected entities, and defines interactions for hitting blocks and entities

Weapon_Sword_Primary_Swing_Left_Damage (child of DamageEntityParent, type: DamageEntity)
Triggers camera effect for impact and the DamageEffects (Knockback, World Particles, Impact Effect)
On hit, it also modifies the entities SignatureEnergy stat by 1. (this is the charge required for the big signature attack)
It also specifies "DamageCalculator": {"Class": "Light"}. I don't know what this means, and I can't find a reference to this in the asset pack.

There is the Weapon_Damage (type: DamageEntity) interaction which specifies "DamageCalculator": {"BaseDamage": {"Physical": 5}} So if you start editing these interactions, that's where I would start

[covert lintel]

Anyone ever come across this weird issue during debugging where your custom pack is loaded prior to the Hytale:Hytale pack? If that happens your pack will end up throwing an exception that says the asset pack already exists because it attempts to register it a second time when the main pack is loaded.

[viscid lily]

Thx. I will try it❤️

[snow monolith]

I've been experimenting with objectives and stuff on hytale but I'm curious on how you guys would tackle my problem. I want to show more information to the players during the objective and at the end of it (for example showing markers for the reachLocations of the current objective). I already know how to create markers but how would I link the objectives and the markers, should I use add a kind of listener to detect when a objective starts and goes to the next step ?

[mild gate]

Does anyone know if it’s possible to hide a block from players in Adventure mode or any other way? I know this can be done with entities, but it seems like there’s no way to manipulate block visibility on a per-player basis

[neat pelican]

How about creating a packet of the block being set to air and sending it only to one player?

[mild gate]

I’ll probably have to go that route anyway i was already looking into the ReplicateChanges from ChunkSystems

I think its just a matter of removing the block from the cache list and sending it manually whenever needed

[sterile forum]

Is it only me that wish that they used a different name than Chunk when it comes to the storage of entity/component related things.
I know a chunk is just a separated piece of something by definition, but it becomes confusing when you have block chunks as a more central concept in voxel games, and then suddenly a ArchetypeChunk that has nothing to do with block chunks but is a separate piece of the store where the Archetype data is gathered together.

At first i was convinced it was a specific store for a chunk to update it's internal entities only as some kind of performance logic when something in a chunk needed to do a lookup.
I actually had to make another look and make sure that they ChunkStore actually do referer to blockChunks.

[brave mural]

is it possible to create uis in the asset editor or something ?

[sterile forum]

No. They are currently reworking the ui, maybe the new version will have some kind of ui editor for the new format, or eventually have one.
There are some third party and online versions, or external apps where you can make and see the .ui files when making them.
I don't know if the .ui format will remain at all in the long run or if it will be straight out dropped when the new version arrives.

[ember violet]

Anyone know which class is referServer or refer to server in

[brave mural]

is it possible to make damage numbers to different colors ?

[brave jetty]

So is there a bed wars or any pvp servers made yet or na

[unreal dust]

Has someone understood the logic of asset re-downloads on server connect? I just don't get it, I just get in, download whole assets again, restart the client, and suddently I have to re-download assets again.

Does this have some logic to it? Because I'm not making sense of redownloads when no files have changed.

[austere cloak]

yes look for hynetic

[tribal patrol]

more recently I think I've noticed I don't always have to redownload assets, but I'm not sure why. I think it more reliably works after server restarts and I'm kicked as part of shutdown. But whenever I completely close the client or maybe go to main screen, it requires it again.
If I'd guess it probably has some sort of connection hash to check assets are still valid and there is some remanent of the past session, but I don't think it has a long expiry time or persistence and probably doesn't check the files much.
Likely will get better with time, though mods may make it more complicated

[lone crag]

@neat pelican gm, i got another question about that scuffed glass pack, if i wanted to changed to pattern of the particle bit, like say cyan. if i change the pattern to look a bit like stained glass pattern, what file png would i need to edit?

[neat pelican]

I don't understand the question. But there's only 2 different kinds of textures in the pack. Can you just look at them to see which one looks like what you want to edit?

[lone crag]

oh i see, one is the holo image when placing, that was the one i did apparently, when i place it, its the default tex. ill have a look again. thanks for the pointer

[viscid lily]

Hi @neat pelican I'm building an enchantment system for Hytale. I can get health and mana working fine on armor, but I can't get weapon damage or crit to actually register during combat.

Any idea how I can fix this or properly intercept the hits to include my custom stats? Thanks!

[spark sail]

So the reliable fix is: intercept the Damage ECS event and modify Damage#setAmount() (and/or cancel it) before the damage systems apply it.
In the server source, Damage is a cancellable ECS event and it has getAmount()/setAmount() plus a Source that can be an EntitySource with a Ref<EntityStore> to the attacker. (See com.hypixel.hytale.server.core.modules.entity.damage.Damage in your server sources.)

Does anyone know a good doc to lear deapply customUI

[plucky glacier]

is this the correct channel to ask on how to use commands for things like world edit and such?

[brave mural]

{
  "Type": "Selector",
  "Selector": {
    "Id": "Raycast",
    "Distance": 5,
    "Offset": {
      "Y": 1.6
    }
  },
  "EntityMatchers": ["Player"]
}

Does anybody know how to trigger a failed when it doesnt have a player in this? Because r ight now this a lways passes which confuses me

[rotund monolith]

Context?

[rough estuary]

I was trying to use mods but I keep dependency problems like 18nModules, AssetModule and NPC

[little sparrow]

Context hat
Context shirt

[brave mural]

I wanted to cancel an interaction when the selector doesnt have a player in his crossair

But i couldnt make it trigger a fail

[neat pelican]

No, this is for creating custom plugins. For help with the Builder Tools, check #creative-mode

[neat pelican]

Are you adding them to your mods Dependencies declaration in the manifest?

[rough estuary]

Nope because I don't know what that is xD

[spark sail]

Does anyone know a good doc to lear deapply customUI

[neat pelican]

Add this to your manifest.json to tell the server that your mod should only load after these native plugins:

"Dependencies": {
  "Hytale:I18nModule": "*",
  "Hytale:AssetEditor": "*",
  "Hytale:NPC": "*"
}

[neat pelican]

What do you mean by "deapply"?

[tardy kelp]

Please, someone know an event for block interaction that actually work?

[lime cairn]

Hello, I've tried to spawn a prefab through an interaction from a custom block but it seems it doesn't work for some reasons (either because I may be doing something wrong but idk what exactly I'm doing wrong or it's not working at all?) but when I try to use Example_Portal1.prefab.json, it works. Even Goblin_Thief_Chest works.... I don't get what I am doing wrong...

            },
            "Force": true,
            "Offset": {
              "Y": 0,
              "X": 2
            }
          }

This works but when I try to put the name of the prefab I made recently, it just does nothing...
Is it because Goblin_Thief_Chest.prefab.json/Example_Portal1.prefab.json are inside the Asset.zip of the game while the prefabs we make are in the "prefabs" folder of the server? but doesn't make sense because when u do /prefab load, when choosing server instead of assets, it shows the prefabs

EDIT: I've tried to add my prefab inside assets.zip/Server/Prefabs and somehow it works. Why it's working when it's inside the assets.zip but not in prefabs folder of the server? It doesn't even throw an error if it's wrong path or anything else (unless it's empty, because then it throws that string is null). Anyone knows how to make it use the prefabs from the server?

[earnest jackal]

is there any information on the character preview component for UI as I have tried to use it however each time I try to add the page containing the component to the UI builder for the player it kicks me off the server with a client error

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

have you been able to get it working since?

[neat pelican]

Support for multiple instances is already live on the preview branch and will come to release in the next update!

[warped sparrow]

i know :( i tried enabling it with pre-release in the launcher but it still isn't working for me it's still just sending me to the game window thats already running

hopefully it gets fixed with the full release tho

[neat pelican]

I just downloaded prerelease , but it works for me. Just had to restart the launcher because it closed on me

[warped sparrow]

im pretty sure its just a mac issue

ill see if i can get around it somehow

I'm trying to get an entity by UUID as opposed to entitystore ref, is that possible?

[quasi echo]

thats the point of the entitystore though?

[shell geyser]

i cant use entitystore refs here because they're not really representative of the entity id (they can be overwritten and represent another entity in the future and so forth), uuids will always be the same for an entity if they have the uuid component

[quasi echo]

so make your own entity id component

[shell geyser]

ok cool how do i then get an entity by that id
and no thats what uuidcomponent is for?

is it possible to get all entities in a world with a specific component type?

[quasi echo]

Direct Lookup via EntityStore
While a Ref (reference) is a safe handle for an entity that tracks its "alive" status, the EntityStore serves as the WorldProvider and can lookup entities directly by their persistent unique identifier.
Internal Map: The EntityStore uses an internal map named entitiesByUuid to store these associations.
Persistent ID: Every entity has a UUIDComponent that the store uses for these lookups.

[neat pelican]

store.getExternalData().getRefFromUUID(uuid)

[shell geyser]

oh thats perfect thank you

[neat pelican]

It's what Titan said

[sterile forum]

yeah I use that with a listener that tracks enitity add and remove events to keep a list of current active entitys in the world.
But i did realize that i just as well could have a system qurying for the uuid component and use the uuids there for a look up i think.

[shell geyser]

do entity adding/removing events also trigger when an entity is simply loaded from unloaded chunks?

[sterile forum]

I think so.

whats the radius for the chests and workbenches

[quasi echo]

horizontal radius of up to 14 blocks and a vertical range of 6

[neat pelican]

It's defined in the GameplayConfig/Crafting of a world config if you want to edit it

[regal bronze]

So I can make it more?

[neat pelican]

Correct. Just create a new GameplayConfig and edit your world config to use it

there is also mods on Curseforge exactly for this so you can check how they do it

[regal bronze]

what mod?

[neat pelican]

search for "chest range"

[regal bronze]

found it

[neat pelican]

hm they are all jars so you'll need to check the code for reference.

Hello, my friend and I are trying to setup an environment for plugin development. We've got a dedicated server, and wanted to try and setup plugin testing on it. Every tutorial I see online keeps using a local server though.

[neat pelican]

Using a local server for testing during development gives you the ability to iterate on code changes much quicker since you don't need to upload the .jar ever time you make a change. Then when you are happy with it, you build your plugin and upload it to your server.

[sacred phoenix]

Right, right. Well the thing is, I'm not developing the plugin myself. Someone else on the server is doing the bulk of it. Perhaps I'll have them setup something locally, and then they could upload the JAR via FTP when needed?

[neat pelican]

yep, that's a common, basic workflow

[open chasm]

Hi, does anyone know how to handle Inventory hover event(or something like that)

[sterile forum]

there is CustomUIEventBindingType
SlotMouseEntered(15),
SlotMouseExited(16),

the portal summon uses it like

eventBuilder.addEventBinding(CustomUIEventBindingType.MouseEntered, "#SummonButton", EventData.of("Action", "SummonMouseEntered"), false);
eventBuilder.addEventBinding(CustomUIEventBindingType.MouseExited, "#SummonButton", EventData.of("Action", "SummonMouseExited"), false);

and in its handle data event.

if (this.computeState(playerComponent, store) instanceof PortalDeviceSummonPage.CanSpawnPortal canSpawn) {
   if ("SummonMouseEntered".equals(data.action)) {
      UICommandBuilder commandBuilder = new UICommandBuilder();
      commandBuilder.set("#Vignette.Visible", true);
      this.sendUpdate(commandBuilder, null, false);
   } else if ("SummonMouseExited".equals(data.action)) {
      UICommandBuilder commandBuilder = new UICommandBuilder();
      commandBuilder.set("#Vignette.Visible", false);
      this.sendUpdate(commandBuilder, null, false);
   } else {
  }
}

[open chasm]

Do you think its possible to add eventBinding for item slot in inventory?

[sterile forum]

The class it uses for the Event

class PortalDeviceSummonPage {
...
   protected static class Data {
      @Nonnull
      private static final String KEY_ACTION = "Action";
      @Nonnull
      public static final BuilderCodec<PortalDeviceSummonPage.Data> CODEC = BuilderCodec.builder(
            PortalDeviceSummonPage.Data.class, PortalDeviceSummonPage.Data::new
         )
         .append(new KeyedCodec<>("Action", Codec.STRING), (entry, s) -> entry.action = s, entry -> entry.action)
         .add()
         .build();
      private String action;
   }
}

well ui pages accept external updates.

 playerComponent.getPageManager()
     .updateCustomPage(
        new CustomPage(
           this.getClass().getName(),
           false,
           clear,
         this.lifetime,
         commandBuilder != null ? commandBuilder.getCommands() : UICommandBuilder.EMPTY_COMMAND_ARRAY,
         eventBuilder != null ? eventBuilder.getEvents() : UIEventBuilder.EMPTY_EVENT_BINDING_ARRAY
      )
   );
 }

So being careful you could probably inject extra events towards the inventory page rougly the same way.
I guess you are talking about the current "Player Inventory" not inventory/container logic at large?
for any ui that exists that handles inventory you would need to find a way to update/inject new events with the reference to the element you would like to have hover events fire for.

Then the hard part is that you need to get those events as well and the current custom page is already doing that. So I have no idea how you would catch them afterwards in a good way.

You might be able to do something by adding logic that intercepts and do something with the CustomPageEvent from PacketID 219

to add both a generic callback and way to intercept manipulate the page somehow.

[open chasm]

It seems that it will be much easier to inject my own text into the current tooltip, thx for the help btw

Has anyone come up with an interesting means of creating alloys like bronze or steel?

[dire holly]

not for vanilla, but modded -> weapons, tools etc x3

[eternal spade]

duh, I'm in the server-plugin chat. we know it's unobtainable in vanilla.

[dire holly]

idk havent played much survival, though bronze/steel was default lol

[sterile forum]

I have some crafting ideas but i need to do a lot of work tracing details regarding material properties and quantity in mixes.

[spiral cliff]

I think you can add items with the NPC commands at least

[eternal spade]

"Interesting means of creating alloys, like if anyone's developed anything that reads multiple inputs in a furnace and detects if there is an alloy utilizing the inputs like copper and tin, and outputs bronze instead of just a single ore like it works normally.
I'm asking if someone has made anything custom, either through the asset editor or coded anything, I'm not talking about vanilla or commands, that's not what this channel's about. Space bro it's a video game just use 1:1, and mechanically how would you even do alloys to begin with.

[dire holly]

mean start being respectful instead of saying "duh", "bro" just a advice~

if there is something that exists you might be better off looking at curseforge for anything that created.
simple solution for creating allows, make a furnace that allows for separate inputs and stores them as "molten" and allow you to add a additional crafting within the furnace to utilize those molten ingots to create new.

(IsImportant, CullDistance, BoundingRadius seem to be overwritten by server)

[void wagon]

How would I go about registering an interaction with any NPC when holding a specific item? I'll need to hook into it in Java - Block interactions are fine, but no idea about NPC interactions.

I would prefer to avoid modifying entity JSON files to avoid conflicts with vanilla updates, but I don't see any events in Java which could avoid needing to do that?

[sterile forum]

Gonna do it so items hold a list of substance åroperties and weights for their composition as a component then have a reactionsystem that can abstract/add/convert as well as create destroy new items with a composition with a fallback of lump of materials.

Crafting will in turn be overhauld to take anything as input and properties quantites will control the output item.

Also adds the ability to transfer properties from the material quality of material and mix of materials.

[quasi echo]

that reminds me of that chemistry mod for minecraft where if you used a time speeding mod it would decay radioactive elements faster and u could accidentally chernobl your inventory

[sterile forum]

Yeah there are many funny side effects that could happen. The question is how to handle it relative to itemstacks since each item becomes unique. Might need to group stack it differently.

[sterile forum]

By extension as i saw in another ecs project. One could add systems for stomach lungs and other organs and turn them in to reaction systems and trigger effects on what a player eat breaths drinks.

[analog geode]

@sterile forum Interesting concept with alloys may i suggest keeping it lifelike and add a Workbench for Electrolytic Coating thus preventing accidentaly making alloys out of stuff you intend on using

[sterile forum]

There are soooo many things to consider i will need an entirely new set of objects and benches for material analysis and processing of so many forms.

The good part is that substances could be added on a level desired like

Like iron, copper, coal, dough, wood, meat. So items would have a list of quantity of each.

Or an actually periodic table level or a combination...

Much work to be done either way.

[eternal spade]

Can you guys stop pinging me with regard to your ideas regarding smithing alloys. While interesting, a little, I find them overly complicated and personally don't see them being an enjoyable player experience or something players are willing to invest in as a system. Either the explanation is poorly done and the system will be more intuitive than it sounds, or it's overly complicated, niche and players won't bother investing in.

Sorry. I wont answering any of your questions again.

[tribal patrol]

I haven't used that ray tracing, but it look like your probably on the right track, that method is also internally used in the TargetUtil for detecting blocks and entities and hence has example usage, that you might find helpful if you haven't seen it yet.
Can't seem to find something that helps find the block face, but you might be be able to work it out using some math, the looking vector, maybe atleast for reference the vectors from BlockFace/Vector3i (e.g. UP), assuming whole blocks of course

[carmine sorrel]

[tribal patrol]

Assuming there isn't a easy component to change, couldn't you handle drops as part of one of the block esc events? As for cancelling the default drop I'm not sure, but additional drops would be easier.

[carmine sorrel]

I am not trying to actually drop items, just taking advantage of the fact the drop tables contain information I need (block with weighted random outputs when a specific input is used,)

[sterile forum]

Wherent blocks changing a lot this update?

[eternal spade]

I know that, at least for some of the custom plant nodes I'm making, it's handled under block, behavior, gathering & soft, under Block as well as all the way in the first mention of state if items have a second blockstate like berry bushes with berries vs harvested exc.

is there some way i can tell hytale that i dont want entities with a certain component to be persisted at all

like i am making custom magic projectiles and i dont really need the game to save them, they can be unloaded permanently and be deleted

[remote flicker]

Not exactly for your component specifically but you can make an entity not get serialised if you add the following component to it.
You could make a system that automatically adds this when your component is added if it doesn't already exist, or you could make sure to add this component when you create the entity with the component.

holder.addComponent(EntityStore.REGISTRY.getNonSerializedComponentType(), NonSerialized.get());

[shell geyser]

ohhhh fantastic so there's literally just a component for it

[brave mural]

Does anybody know how i get just the translated text not the messsage itself?

Message.translation("ui.tooltips.arc.attribute.vitality")

[near onyx]

try the ansi thing
like MessageUtil.toAnsi(msg).toAnsi()
(i cant remember the exact methods)

could also try Message#toAnsi

[brave mural]

Awesome! Works thanks

[neat pelican]

If you want it to use a language other than the hard-coded "en-US" in Message#getAnsiMessage(), use the I18nModule directly:

I18nModule.get().getMessage("de-DE", "ui.tooltips.arc.attribute.vitality")

[brave mural]

Oh, i somehow assumed that it would automatically see what language the client is and then use the correct language automatically

[neat pelican]

The server doesn't know which language the client uses

[near onyx]

does it support pir*te? Does Hytale have a pir*te language? If not, we need that.
(cant believe that word is blocked hahaha)

[neat pelican]

that's why the translation keys are sent. The client is then responsible for fetching the correct message from the asset pack

[brave mural]

Good to know! Thanks

[long juniper]

ish, its knows the language they use, but it doesnt do weird stuff like try to infer it on events and translate automatically depending on the context

[neat pelican]

oh damn yeah. playerRef.getLanguage()

ty

[long juniper]

yeah its sent in the connect packet and in one of the interface update ones(though you should avoid it for most things, unless you plan on doing translation of arbitrary messages on the fly)

maybe TargetUtil.getAllEntitiesIn*()?

It does the SpacialResource stuff for you

How do I remove the default block break interaction thing when I left click with an item? I have an item that I have a secondary interaction, but want it to have no primary interactions at all.

[sterile forum]

If you got the ray data and the block you collided with. You could normalize the ray vectors direction in world get the position of the block you hit as and remove the normalized rays value from the position. See what block position that would be at. Remove the original position value from the calculated value and you should get a vector with valus in the direction the hit block is. The facing would be opposite of those values.

Or better remove the new calced blocks position from the hit block and the values out would be the direction where the neighbour block would be and thus facing.

thank you elite citizen

please dont delete this ill need it in a few days

[neat pelican]

The PlayerConnectEvent event fires before the player joins a world, so it doesn't have an entity yet that you can attach components to. I would recommend either the AddPlayerToWorldEvent, or the onEntityAdded() method of a RefSystem<EntityStore>

[celest kayak]

ohh ok thanks!

[celest kayak]

Ive used PlayerReadyEvent instead since in the docs its use case matches what i need, the only problem is I need an UUID of the player, there are two ways to get it, from event.getPlayer().getPlayerRef() which is depricated and then from the PlayerRef.getUuid() or event.getPlayer().getUuid() which is also depricated. I guess there is a better way for getting the UUID in this case? Maybe I should get player ref from the store right?

[neat pelican]

It's a PlayerEvent, so it has event.getPlayerRef(), right?

[celest kayak]

it does have getPlayerRef() but it returns the Ref<> not the component

ok i guess i get it from the holder

i needed the PlayerRef component just didnt know whats the right way to get it

[neat pelican]

The Ref<EntityStore> is what you use as an identifier to fetch an entitie's components from the store

[celest kayak]

yeah will do

[sacred sundial]

Hey, posting on the right channel this time, yay.
I'm playing a lot with queries for different purposes but I still fail at understanding how to efficiently gather entities.
For instance, I would like to query every entities hostile around a player, but I don't really know where to start in that case. Should I add a codec to gather the attitude and maybe hp? But then, how do I link that back to entities?
Or is there an easier way to do that?
Do you gather such examples somewhere?
Thanks a lot for your help! 🙂

[neat pelican]

Do you mean how to get all entities around a player (TargetUtil), or how to determine if an entity is hostile towards a player?

[sacred sundial]

I've seen the TargetUtils.GetAllEntitiesInSphere() for instance. But then, this returns a List<Ref<EntityStore>> which you then need to filter for hostile living entities that can move (again for instance). And that's where I struggle.
I actually was rather using a store.forEachEntityParallel( but it's kinda the same need behind. There are a lot of good examples even on unofficial places, but the queries and codec examples didn't click with me yet.

Sorry for the hard or noob question. A simple custom filter on entities example would help already. And the same on how to check if a codec is effectively propagated would be super great.

[sterile forum]

For all moving entities loop trought the stores {var mover= store .getConponent(storeRref, Movement.getComponentType);
If(mover!=null){}}

[sacred sundial]

btw, I know that Entities are a collection of components, so I would expect something like (this is bad code for the example): ```java
// Really not sure about the query here
Query query = Query.and(LivingEntity.getComponentType).and(Hostile.getComponentType());
Store<EntityStore> store = world.getEntityStore().getStore();
store.forEachEntityParallel(query, (entityIndex, archetypeChunk, commandBuffer) -> {

commandBuffer.run((entity) -> {
// Do something with the entity
});
});
// or
world.execute(() -> {
List<Ref<EntityStore>> entities = TargetUtil.getAllEntitiesInSphere(player.getTransform().getPosition(), 50., world.getEntityStore().getStore());
// Need to filter that now
for (var entityRef: entities) {
// Hostile doesn't exist, it's for the example. Don't know how to do that
if (entityRef.isValid() && entityRef.getStore().getComponent(Hostile, Hostile.getComponentType()) {
// Do something
}
}
});

[sacred sundial]

Do you know how I can get the list of existing Components? I guess they come from Assets json? And some from code?

[sterile forum]

I do both are a pain in their own way.

But i am out walking and need to fix dinner when i come home. But i will try to remember answering later.

[sacred sundial]

Np at all, thanks for the bits about movers anyway

i had this to spit out a list of components

Archetype<EntityStore> archetype = reference.getStore().getArchetype(reference);
for (int i = 0; i < archetype.length(); i++) {
    ComponentType<EntityStore, ?> type = archetype.get(i);
    if (type == null) continue;
    components.add(type.getTypeClass().getSimpleName());

}

oh wait, did you mean all components in general?

[sacred sundial]

I was also wondering on whether a System::tick(...) could be used to do the reverse: Check whether the entity is hostile and can move and then make it do something if it isn't already. Something like:

public class HostileCheckSystem extends EntityTickingSystem {
 
    @Override
    public void tick(var1, var2, archetype, EntityStore store, commandBuffer) {
        if (!store.hasComponent(entity, HostileComponent.class)) {
            return;
        }
 
        if (!store.hasComponent(entity, MovementComponent.class)) {
            return;
        }

        commandBuffer.run((entity) -> { // Do something
        })
   }
}

[sacred sundial]

Honestly, your answer is really good already to parse any kind of component store 🙂

[sacred sundial]

How do you get a valid archetype reference in your example btw?

(Will also check on my end)

[near onyx]

Archetype<EntityStore> archetype = reference.getStore().getArchetype(reference);
This gets the archtype from the reference
and the ref was just entity.getReference()

[sacred sundial]

ah ok thks

[sacred sundial]

But about the components is general, I bet having a tool to parse what's available would be super great. I'll keep that in mind once I'm more familiar. I can see myself create a basic UI to lazily list things and filter on them :>

[near onyx]

doing some fiddling around, i see this:
reference.getStore().getRegistry()
(i wish i could send a screenshot)
it has a few methods for getting components, but theyre like "unknown" "nonSerializable" and "nonTicking"
Seems odd

[brave mural]

Is it possible to dynamically add a component into the .ui file for lets say i have 10 items in an array for eachitem iwant to add something into a group like a component or something?

[neat pelican]

yeah. you can run commandBuilder.append() in a loop. Check how the MemoriesPage does it

[brave mural]

Ill check it out thanks!

[unreal dust]

do we have a date for update 4? I heard last week it was this week

[jaunty steppe]

I finally solved the problem by doing what any other good minecraft Hytale engineer would do, use brute force! 👍 😸

[sterile forum]

Sorry time ran away.
What I was about to say was that as other stated, you can use the archetypestore to get the archetype.
I just learned to day that if you want to use archetypes in a system then for the query you are apperently can use Archetype.of(componentType) the base entities are just components as well, Player NpcEntity LivingEntity all extend the component at some point.

The other variant is the long way, using systems to listen for the entity add remove and component add remove events and hold lists of reference to what gets added to what.

As for finding components in general, i think there is a list in the hytalemodding dev documentation. but you Could also do a "blanket search for "componentType()"
Since most component types have some kind of getter thats Usually their name ending with ComponentType().

But getting the player archetype for instance in a system can also be done with a query that uses

this.query = Archetype.of(playerComponentType, playerRefComponentType);

The thing to consider regarding system tick events or other stuff is essentially who needs the information, when and how often.
Remember that you can also use your own components as quick triggers in a ticking system buy having that component as part of the query, and as soon as you process it in the tick you just drop it from the entity, the system is quick to pick up that it is on the entity without the need for events, and once the component gets removed it won't tick again and have low impact on performance.

[sacred sundial]

@Space Thanks! I just saw the Archetype.of() as part as many other things. I kept learning during those few hours and some references helped me a lot (not putting links to avoid the no advertising rule) ECS system in Hytale with some examples and exceptions from TroubelDEV, The unofficial hytale Server docs,and I used the Hytale docs class index when I didn't know what I was searching for. Ah and of course the HytaleServer.jar as a dependency for autocompletion.
I used some scheduling snippets and the archetype list snippet thanks to @near onyx 🌴 's message: ⁠server-plugin⁠
And in the end, I managed to start moving this query code into a ticking system, so it's going in the right direction.
I also saw the example where you need to add a teleport component to let the TeleportSystem trigger the event.

I believe I'm starting to get the hang of how to select entities, the next step will be to understand the NPC path management.
Thanks a lot for all the help

Is it possible to reset the entityStatMap for all stats?

[near onyx]

looking at RespawnSystems

for (int index = 0; index < entityStatMapComponent.size(); ++index) {
    EntityStatValue value = entityStatMapComponent.get(index);

    if (value != null) {
        entityStatMapComponent.resetStatValue(index);
    }
}

Has anyone by chance tried to use the editor tool packets to create custom tools themselves, which can be used on Adventure Mode? I've noticed Hytale has done an annoying client gate restriction, basically preventing the retrieval and sending of builder tool packets if the user is not in creative mode. So i was wondering if anyone has somehow found a way to bypass this

My main reason for using those packets is primarily more hotkeys to listen to xD, and also using the EditorBlocksChange packet to display prefab outlines, but just the latter is more than enough

[vivid bone]

Hi there, someone knows how the regex works for the parameter loadBefore in plugins manifest.json ?
Tried with a mod, maybe the mod shouldnt be tagged as "Hytale" but the name of the owner, or no name at all ?
"LoadBefore": {
"Hytale:MMOSkillTree": "*"
},

[whole stone]

instead of Hytale it should be the value of the "Group" key from the plugin's manifest.json

[vivid bone]

You must be right ! i test it thanks !

[vivid bone]

i tried renaming items such as
XpToken_Unarmed_Token.name = Test
XpToken_Unarmed_Token.description = Test
in the same path that the mod originally does into my own zip assetpack.
And even wih the loadbefore, it does not work and overwrite item name nor desc.
Had anyone an idea how to do so ?

[whole stone]

probably because you are loading "before" the plugin you are trying to override, so I'm assuming your file is being overwritten. And what exactly are you trying to overwrite?

[vivid bone]

"LoadBefore No Map of plugins that should load after this plugin"
Im only trying to overwrite items names / desc

i also put includeassetpack to true and i just rode :
IncludesAssetPack No If true, registers the JAR as an asset pack

maybe thats causing the problem ? an asset pack cant overwrite a mod ?

[whole stone]

yea maybe, not quite sure tbh

[vivid bone]

I might be forced to overwrite Server\Item\Items too ? But it seems the matching to the items.lang is automatic in some points.
Adding
TranslationProperties maybe ?

PortalInvalidDestinationSystem does anyone know how to fix this

[sterile forum]

check if the destination is clear, and remember that you need to be +1 above the block you target. since any block position is inside the block.

i see, thank you!

[sterile forum]

I guessed the system reported that the destination was invalid not that that the system reporting was broken.

[brave mural]

Does anybody know how to apply custom screen effects via java ? Or JSON data ?

[sterile forum]

You cant do any new post process effects from what i know but otherwise like camera shake and others goes trough the camera effects.

[neat pelican]

The TeleportWorldCommand does it like this:

Transform spawnPoint = targetWorld.getWorldConfig().getSpawnProvider().getSpawnPoint(ref, store);
// modify TeleportHistory...
Teleport teleportComponent = Teleport.createForPlayer(targetWorld, spawnPoint);
store.addComponent(ref, Teleport.getComponentType(), teleportComponent);

[brave mural]

Does anybody know where hytale does the Stat caluations when for example wearing gear

So that gear increases max hp? Is that happenin in the json data or is there a way to see how they actually apply the data to the stats in java somewhere

[near onyx]

are you talking about the defense level?

[brave mural]

Yea exactly

Where do they apply that, i would like to see how they did that

[near onyx]

this is my attempt to get the defense level.... its not sexy, and its deprecated, but its all i could find

// TODO find a better way to do this
Map<DamageCause, ArmorResistanceModifiers> reduction = ArmorDamageReduction.getResistanceModifiers(world,
    player.getInventory().getArmor(), false, null);

int defense = 0;

DamageCause asset = DamageCause.getAssetMap().getAsset("Physical");
ArmorResistanceModifiers mod = reduction.get(asset);
if (mod != null) {
    defense += (int) Math.ceil(mod.multiplierModifier * 100);
}

return defense;

I cant remember exactly where i found it though, i think on the server it just calculates during interactions

[neat pelican]

Check the DamageSystems.ArmorDamageReduction system

[near onyx]

^
Ah yeah, that sounds familiar

[brave mural]

Does anybody know how to set the Regenerating values ?

var statMap = new EntityStatMap();
    statMap.get(DefaultEntityStatTypes.getHealth()).getRegeneratingValues();

[near onyx]

rather than getting the stat map, get the actual stat type (config) and it should be part of that

[brave mural]

Ok ill try that whats the class called?

[near onyx]

EntityStatType.getAssetMap().getAsset("Health").getRegenerating()

[brave mural]

Mh those also only contain getters also, they get the actual asset. But i would like to increase or change Regeneration based on entity

[near onyx]

seems like it all has getters only

[brave mural]

Mhh yea, maybe i need to do it with effects instead

[near onyx]

i think you can also apply modifiers to stats

[boreal topaz]

Any way to block the usage of buildertools in creative? because hytale.buildertools.* = false does not work

[neat pelican]

are you opped? ^^

you'll need to set up granular permissions and groups

[snow bronze]

yo, any new way to debug UI's when developing? hot reload would be neat

[neat pelican]

Turn on debug mode in the client settings. Hot reloading is in the game

[snow bronze]

is it? I do have debug mode turned on, but when I'm developing UI I have to rebuild it, restart server and only then the changes applies

[neat pelican]

if you edit something in an asset pack, it gets automatically synced with the client. For the java code, you need to run /plugin reload <pluginName>, but you can trigger that programmatically as well

[snow bronze]

so when I'm changing anything in the *.ui file without any changes to java - it should automatically pull the changes after building mod?

[neat pelican]

no, you don't need to build the mod if the asset pack is loaded directly

[snow bronze]

not entirely sure what do you mean by that, not sure how to verify if I'm doing everything right

[neat pelican]

this is how I run my dev server

def serverRunDir = file("$projectDir/run")
if (!serverRunDir.exists()) serverRunDir.mkdirs()
idea.module.excludeDirs += serverRunDir
idea.project.settings.runConfigurations {
    'HytaleServer'(org.jetbrains.gradle.ext.Application) {
        mainClass = 'com.hypixel.hytale.Main'
        moduleName = project.idea.module.name + '.main'
        programParameters = "--allow-op --disable-sentry --assets=\"$hytaleDir/Assets.zip\" --mods=\"${sourceSets.main.java.srcDirs.first().parentFile.absolutePath}\""
        workingDirectory = serverRunDir.absolutePath
    }
}

When I update something in src/main/resources, the asset editor automatically picks it up

[snow bronze]

will check this out as it would help a ton to actually develop anything

[neat pelican]

I got the concept from Build-9/Hytale-Example-Project on GitHub. Might be worth checking out for inspiration

[snow bronze]

never heard of this one, will definitely give it a go

i have something simular in end result but i go about it differently

[neat pelican]

Nice! how do you do it?

[carmine sorrel]

Ok, I have a block I want to be able to attach some meta-data to , and then later in a custom interaction, read that data, is there any paticular way to do this currently? I have a class that inherits from SimpleInstantInteraction that I use to do the custom interaction, and a

"Interactions": {
      "Use": "Open_Arcane_Fate"
    },
``` in the block's item

[void wagon]

Possibly add your own component?

[tawdry geode]

If i read correctly BlockComponents will be added next update

You can probably do something already but it will be much easier in the future

[void wagon]

I thought I already did a block component but... apparently not. Maybe I was about to but realised I never needed to. No idea if it's possible currently or not.

[dire holly]

Is it possible to UV map a model? so you can use the texture feature like:

"Textures": [
      {
        "Sides": "BlockTextures/cardboard_box.png",
        "UpDown": "BlockTextures/cardboard_box_top.png",
        "Weight": 1
      }
]```
or is this out of the question, i really don't look forward to make 4096 textures (or even more) performance would be yikez

it either 4096 different blocks (for a single block variation) or 1 block with 4096 textures

[carmine sorrel]

I saw some Block Component things, btu they looked like they were for per indivudual block instance, not per block class

[void wagon]

Oh, yeah:

    "BlockEntity": {
      "Components": {
        "DuoRespawnBlock": {}
      }
    }

It is per block though. I cannot fathom how you would do dynamic metadata that syncs across all blocks of the same ID... if I'm understanding correctly.

[carmine sorrel]

Yeah, it is looking like I will have to just, make the interaction custom to that block ID , I was hoping could make it a bit more generic, let the other people working on the asset_editor side have more control so they could make multiple blocks with small changes style thing >.>

Hi everyone, I have an issue with the pre-release channel. My custom Bench with the base UI doesn’t work anymore. Does anyone have any news about this or any idea what might be causing it?

(processing)

OR

"BlockEntity": {

Is it possible to draw custom blocks during runtime instead of adding them to a pack~?

[neat pelican]

no, but the majority of a custom block can be added to a pack during runtime

[signal anvil]

yes, made something that supports it

uhh links are against rules 😭

[dire holly]

Since im currently running into a major performance issue with hytale and idk what a proper solution is

[signal anvil]

are you talking about like drawing them ingame or just dropping in the files for it while playing

[dire holly]

Drawing

[signal anvil]

i made something that would be easy to make something for that

[spare meteor]

😏 You could add blocks that cant be obtained and show them for only certain people- I was working on a library for it but to prevent breaking or replacing said blocks takes- constant packets since the server drops events from the client on ghost blocks

Is it possible to like add more stuff to the default ui like inventory or the portrait when you press tab ? Like stats or something

[neat pelican]

Not currently, no.

When making an override for an existing mod, do I need to add the original mod as a dependency in the new packs manifest? Trying to consolidate multiple mods onto a single workbench for example.

currently yes, as a soft dependency. that ensures your mod is loaded after theirs.

Hello 🙂 doc hytaledev is down ?

[scarlet wharf]

Hello everyone, (first of all, sorry about my English, I'm French xD). Then, in my plugin I have a World which serves as a lobby, from this I generate other Worlds and teleport there. My problem: when I spawn a merchant in the lobby, no problem, the shop opens by pressing F but when I do the same thing in the other generated World, the shop does not open despite the presence of the "Press F" hint. Does anyone have an idea why? I've already exhausted a lot of ideas with Interactable among others, thanks in advance 🙂

[lone geode]

Question ...
I am starting to get into modding properly, and have got basic blocks and an NPC to function in game, but I am trying to understand a little more about how the more complex elements of hte models work. Attachments I can get OK, and I can see how to make ones that will always be there, and how variants would work for slightly less uniform figures. All really neatly packaged in the editor.
Where I am stuck is around the weapons that can be assigned to hands and the drops. When I look at the NPC_Role files, it is a bit tricky to pick up how this is structured and some exampled I look at are totally different. I understand the basic syntax rules fine, but I can see things like Undead seem to have layered variants and inherited stuff, so trying to find a 'clean' base to help me understand how this file functions.

[brave mural]

Does anyone know how you can display the damage color of the defined daamge cause asset?

I have a damage cause asset that changes the color of the text but it doesnt get displayed on the client

The Posion example in the official hytale asset has it configured but for some reason on the client it always is white 😄

[sterile forum]

ok some old project handled all the sources stuff automatically, and now that I have moved to a different project layout using a hytale project plugin för intellij and using maven it does not.
I did find the guide how to use the official python code to decompile the source from the mod dev webbsite, it just seems unnecessary complex.
And I realize if this is ment to be for "Sources for intellij, or if its ment to be "sources" as in you could use this and build the server yourself rather then depend on it?"

[lucid vapor]

Does anyone know of an easier way to add colored nameplates? I'm currently hiding the nameplates then spawning in base glyphs then using the particle system to color the glyphs and attaching them to the player. Is there a api or a more efficient method to do this beside billboarding images?

[sterile forum]

have you looked at what type of data the nameplates take, if it's a message or formated message, using parse or raw etc?

[lucid vapor]

Damage numbers you see on mobs is a plain string using the Nameplate system which is why I use glyphs and the particle system to color "nameplates"

[lucid vapor]

yes, I have. They use message but it's stripped within the main SRC

[tribal patrol]

do you mean the decompiled .class view or did you pre-decompile these?

[sterile forum]

decompile class view i think
What I need is for the intellij search to actually find classes searched for in server types. Right now I can compile and run fine and depend on any class I know the name of. But the search refuse to work.

[brave mural]

Not quite sure i understood, what does this mean? You apply a particle to the nameplate of the damage or what?

[lucid vapor]

you can create glyphs or use a blockymodel asset for text to use spirtes then once they are spawned in use Tint (part or the particle system) to color them how you'd like.

[tribal patrol]

Ah cause search doesn't really work in the default decompile view, since the tool only knows about each individual file I think. ctrl+f works, but only within the file

[brave mural]

Do you have any examples i could look at. That sounds interesting. How would you color them tho

[sterile forum]

Yeah, and the old kauptenjoe example project had logic that made it possible to decompile the entire file and search it, but thats like 5 layers of dependencies being pulled so i have no idea how thats set up.

[brave mural]

Like how do you say apply this particle to that damagenumber

[lucid vapor]

My version is super cursed but it's in my github. I'm rebuilding the new nameplate system from the ground up but it's not completed yet so it has a lot of errors. Search up MysticNameTags github and you'll find it.

[tribal patrol]

Yeah I saw how much work that was and then didn't even bother. I find it easier to auto correct some files I'm looking for, but that doesn't help looking for usages or within files

[lucid vapor]

I mainly took example from PerfectHolograms AND HydroHolograms

HydroHolograms is WAY more effective though since they use sprites instead of glyphs

[tribal patrol]

oh what do you know, your a Mystic Horizons dev

[lucid vapor]

For the mc server? yes I'm the lead dev and coowner

[sterile forum]

cocooner i read... but it was not so.

[tribal patrol]

came across it the other day

[sterile forum]

I guess you probably tested already to just send a message in the translation style formating with <color ... > etc for the nameplates

[lucid vapor]

yes. I've tried everything from custom color packets to mixin overrides

the nameplate class and the nameplatesystems.java class just don't support ANY color what so ever

[sterile forum]

Yeah. then its probably a client side limitation and one have to go paritcles or glyphs.

I mean what I saw they just took a string, so if its markup it would still be hard to tell.

[lucid vapor]

I did find out that color code parses but client side renderer doesn't parse ANY type of color codes within the nameplates

[sterile forum]

but i trust you tested it but thats why i wondered.

[lucid vapor]

String doesn't support color native. You have to translate it

and client side doesn't have that for the nameplates since the nameplate sends a different codec to the client for rendering

[tribal patrol]

and NameplateUpdate

[lucid vapor]

it's part of the NamePlateSystems.java class

[tribal patrol]

yeah, atleast it used there. probably could pack into it, but it would need to know how to decode on client and we cant control that

[lucid vapor]

yeah, since we can't directly mod the client side we have to use known color systems like tint on "entities" like glyphs or sprites

[twin girder]

hi,
i'm trying to create a block that has an interaction to play sound. kinda like a music-box. and i think i've configured everything correctly (i took a rather deep look into another mod to see how they handle this), but whenever i interact with the block it turns into the default invalid block in game. cant find a helpful video about this online, if anyone has a good video that shows how it works i'd be glad

[sterile forum]

have you added break points or logging so you can check the state at different steps of the call, if not, google how to do that.

[dire holly]

is there a way to force a assetpack to update or manually load a new block in? (with code)
The automatic change detection with auto reload is nice but its slow (takes around 5-10)

[white galleon]

Im still having an issue with the patch Im making for a few mods. Is there a way to force my patch to load after the target mods?

On server reload a majority of the recipes revert to their original state.

[void wagon]

no i won't help you. 😡 (I also don't know the answer)

[brave mural]

Whats the proper way to rebuild a ui page every few seconds while its open?

[dire holly]

why do you want to change it every few second?~

[brave mural]

Im currently displaying an entity stat there and bunch of other stuff that might get updated while the page is open. Not sure how i would display the data there realtime

[dire holly]

but why not send a update message/event when it changes to the UI

[brave mural]

I mean yea that would work but that would also mean that if i have 100 t hings in the page that i would have to implement that for everything that needs to get updated 😄

Feels easier just to refetch the stuff from the entity after a few seconds

Health gets updated? Send event, mana gets updated ? Send event, mob position updated? Send event, feels worse to me to be fair

maybe i just add a refresh button or something

[white galleon]

Wouldn't constantly refreshing to pull all that data at once create a huge server strain though? Seems more efficient to do it per trigger. I honestly don't know though and am just interested in the topic

[brave mural]

I mean, building the page does it anyway once, So feels like way to much to call UpdatePage everytime something changes. I ll porbably just add a button to rebuild the page or something

The page itself has a beatiful rebuild method, just sadge that i dont know how to properly call it 😄

[dire holly]

Performance wise you only want the UI to update when it really requires it, so pulling it every few second (when nothing has changed) would be bad practice.
Preferably you want a controllers that either tracks those updates and checks every 5 seconds if there are updates to write them to the UI (ofc this would be delayed)
Or what be a little bit more heavy on performance change the update rate quicker if you want more responsive updates / or update directly once something of your ui updates

[brave mural]

in a good way

[brave mural]

Those controllers would need to listen to the changes in some way, for example if you want to listen if an entity stat has changed you probably would integrate that logic in the tick system

Which would now do the check 24/7 which is possibly less efficent and worse overall. But im not the most experienced in performance stuff

That would mean instead of having something run while the page is open every few seconds now it runs all the time just to check if the page is open

Damage system would probably also work to check

Not sure if there is a way to change health when its not damage tho, probably yes

[dire holly]

mean its up to you, performance of a event system isn't that heavy it only has todo a if statement if the health has changed
like you want a component to be added to the specific entities that you are "watching" so you will check all entities with the health change and to who he has todo send the update, pretty sure you can setup the component how often it checks (like game tick system or a slower tick)

im also sure you can change the value on your current UI instead of redrawing your entire UI

[brave mural]

Good point, will try that out

[brave mural]

Good idea with the component and only tick those with the component, that works greatly thanks!

[dire holly]

no problem!

[oblique onyx]

nvm got it to work

[spiral cliff]

It's a little weird to me when things exist outside of the ECS part of the engine, like ItemStack's where we have things like Durability and Stacksize which could be components, or part of an overall ItemStack component, and there's the catchall Metadata for the itemstack which could just be additional components

[long juniper]

iirc itemstacks arent using the ecs because of memory and performance issues

[quasi echo]

yeah there are def some reasons but there could be more organization on whats which

[long juniper]

yeah they might improve the structure, but performance and memory usage will probably mean that they wont ever be a part of the ecs

oh god no, lol, the amount of overhead that would cost would not be worth it
the plan is just that items will have nicer to work with metadata rather than storing serialized json/bson in memory, plus some config in the Item asset to support automatically adding the data
thats what zero said in the hytale modding discord

[quasi echo]

what ever gives the best product is all that matters

[spiral cliff]

Just feels weird if I wanna tick an itemstack, having to make a system that activates on the player that looks through their whole inventory to see if they are holding an item that needs ticking

[long juniper]

thats fair

[spiral cliff]

I guess the other way to do it would be adding a component to the player with a reference to the itemstack that needs ticking and have the query look for that

[long juniper]

its probably better that way though, mostly because items probably shouldnt be ticked all that much either

like, a lot of things could be done by storing a time in the metadata, and possibly ticking very infrequently

[spiral cliff]

I was thinking if you wanted say a battery that could drain to charge tools in your inventory, but could also be charged by something outside your inventory

[long juniper]

oh thats pretty easy to do without ticking it at all(and would probably be better performance wise)

[quasi echo]

im curious to see what the standards most modders use will be in 2 years time especially with the wiki and the way everyone is staying connected

[long juniper]

at least sort of, I would have the outside charger run its own ticking loop where it checks for nearby players or whatever, and have the battery be a simple battery, that does nothing on its own but store a number

everything that uses the battery would just look for batteries or power sources independently

though some things like food that spoils in your inventory, and like, changes textures on its own are harder to do without ticking them in some capacity

[quasi echo]

prob why its not default

[spiral cliff]

Wouldn't this still be ticking for the items in the inventory to look for the battery in the inventory? Especially if you wanted a gradual charge not an instantaneous charge

[long juniper]

sort of

but it would be more like ticking the object, the inventory items are only modified by the object, and arent processed unless they are near it

idk when I think of ticking the items I thought you meant like, ticking the items unconditionally and independently

[heady locust]

Is there a way to change the tooltip of an Item?

[remote edge]

hello, someone know why the officiel doc (doc hytale dev) is down please ?

[neat pelican]

Hytale only officially released a couple areas of their docs for now and you can find them here:
https://hytalemodding.dev/en/docs/official-documentation
It includes custom ui markup, npc documentation, and worldgen v2

[remote edge]

Thanks DaniDipp 😄 💪

[neat pelican]

Everything else is documentation made by independent people from the community and might be very useful, but should not be treated as "official"

[quasi echo]

The modding discord community is basically the only soft official documentation I trust rn

[dire holly]

Is it possible to push a new asset to other players instead of waiting for the asset monitor to detect the change?

[neat pelican]

Yeah the asset editor is a plugin so you can check how it creates and sends the asset update packets

[oblique onyx]

Does anyone know how to remove the leap from the Downstrike_charged attack from the battleaxe?

[heady locust]

Does anyone know I am getting disconnected with this error when using this player.getHudManager().setCustomHud(playerRef, null); Error: Disconnected from Server: Failed to apply CustomUI HUD commands

This is really weird

[neat pelican]

Turn on debug mode in your client settings if you haven't already. Then it should tell you more

[heady locust]

I am pretty sure I had debug mode on

Actually not sure, ill try again

[dire holly]

i looked into it but its pretty complex, currently my servers just hangs after i forcefully add it

[sterile forum]

You know you can just look at code projects in general, and I am fairly sure thats the answer.
There will be a bunch of different subgroups claiming superiority and all other idiots, where the "least important" aspect is how you are working with the data and where your load is, and the most important that "we are right they are wrong"

kinda like when a deep end fortran developer need to agree on something with a enterprise java developer and frontend javascript dev.

[jaunty steppe]

don't forget the py devs 😏

[heady locust]

Yes, that worked out thank you. I don't know why I turned it off

Does anyone know how to change the item tooltip which appears when using the ItemSlot element in a Custom UI?

[sick ridge]

is there a way to tp the player to the spawn everytime he logs in?

[dire holly]

Using the events yes

[brave mural]

"MagicResistance": {
          "Id": "MagicResistance",
          "Value": 0.0,
          "Modifiers": {
            "Armor_ADDITIVE": {
              "Id": "Static",
              "CalculationType": "Additive",
              "Amount": 12.0
            }
          }
        },

How can the stat stat still be 0 if it has that modifier ?

[jaunty steppe]

Can anything tell me where to get a block's drop list from?

Answer is prolly right in front of me

My little clown hammer looking thingy works, but not getting drops 🤔

[lone crag]

does anyone know of a mod that makes the bottoms of banners and tents placeable without support?

[hexed tangle]

im trying to create a custom UI but everytime i try to open it the game crashes

[dense geode]

Null reference? Like you're trying to do something before its loaded?

[hexed tangle]

no, just join the server and try to execute the command

[hexed tangle]

found out, it was a problem with the tabs

[brisk trench]

I'm trying to set up mob spawning for a dungeon minigame plugin. I tried checking some of the unofficial documentation websites, one says to use spawn beacons (but doesn't say how to set them up) while another says to use the NPC plugin. (I originally tried citing the webpages, but the AutoMod blocked the message because it can't distinguish between advertisements and citations.)

BTW, has there been any update about when official documentation might be released? Even the JavaDoc's would be a big improvement over the current state of things.

[hexed tangle]

how can i create a gap between tab buttons? i tried a lot of things but none of them worked

[lucid vapor]

so I did something.... Got glyphs working correctly for colored nameplates 😄

working on optimizing it for 1000+ user based servers

Would love to showcase my mod....

[quasi echo]

thats cool yeah i wish there was a modding showcase forum

[lucid vapor]

I posted it in art-assets since technically it is art lol

[quasi echo]

xd

[nova bronze]

someone finally made bluestone

[quasi echo]

bluestone but no bluewood xd

[brave mural]

Why does custom hud stuff not get hidden when i press the button to hide the HUD or open custom pages?

[quasi echo]

likely because its custom

[brave mural]

Yea, it is custom! Is there a way to also toggle them ?

[quasi echo]

they would prob need to tie into the keybind of toggling them

or set their own

[lone crag]

hey gm folks, a mod is requiring " small empty potion bottle" as a craft ingredient, i dont see how to craft them, and i want to know if thats a vanilla item or a mod item that maybe they forgot to add to survival. i can see them in creative menu , but nowhere in survival

[quasi echo]

empty potion bottle at a alchemist workbench

[lone crag]

"small" empty potion bottle

regular empty potion bottle comes from sand in the smelter

[quasi echo]

yes and a regular potion bottle at that table crafts 1 small ones

[lone crag]

weird, i dont see it, if its a vanilla item, then i may have a conflict

probably a glss mod

[lone crag]

what tab should it show under?

[quasi echo]

wait you want empty small potion

[lone crag]

yea, small empty potion bottle.

[quasi echo]

those dont exist

[lone crag]

i saw that entry in the wiki must be old,

[lone crag]

then ill contact the mzaker and request them to use the standard bottles

[quasi echo]

Lesser Health Potion: 1× Empty Potion Bottle + 6× Wild Berries + 3× Blood Petals.

[quasi echo]

most wikis are ai nonsense rn

[lone crag]

i need 8 of the empty small one to make a centrifuge for the inTARnation mod. i think a lot of authors are not realizing some items are not in yet. such as bring the boom using limestone to make boom powder, when its not in survival yet

[quasi echo]

yeah mod devs are bad about that

they could easily make a recipe for it because it makes sense

[lone crag]

ill request an either/or fix for it, whatever is easier. thanks for the help, that was driving me insane

[quasi echo]
