Hytale Mod Skeleton

A clean, generic starting point for creating Hytale server-side mods.

Project Structure

• src/main/java/com/example/skeleton/Main.java: The main entry point of the mod.
• build.gradle: Gradle build configuration with dynamic Hytale path resolution.

Setup & Configuration

This project requires the Hytale client to be installed so it can reference the HytaleServer.jar.

1. Configure Hytale Path

The build script tries to automatically detect your Hytale installation. However, for a consistent environment, it is recommended to explicitly set the path using a local.properties file.

We have provided templates for common operating systems. Rename the file matching your OS to local.properties:

• Windows: Rename local.properties.windows -> local.properties
• Mac: Rename local.properties.mac -> local.properties
• Linux: Rename local.properties.linux -> local.properties

Note: local.properties is git-ignored so your local path won't be committed.

Building

To build the mod, open a terminal in the project directory and run:

Windows

gradlew build

Mac / Linux

./gradlew build

The compiled mod JAR will be generated in build/libs/.

Running

This is a server-side mod. To use it:

1. Copy the generated JAR from build/libs/ to your Hytale server's mods folder.
2. Start the Hytale Server.
3. You should see "Hello, Hytale!" printed in the server console logs.
