Admin WebDash

[1.0.3] - 28th March 2026

What's New

Discord Bot Integration [BETA]

• Connect a Discord bot to your server for remote management.
• Run server commands directly from Discord (kick, ban, mute, heal, give items, set time/weather, etc.).
• Live player count shown as the bot's status.
• Dedicated channel support for logs, alerts, and join notifications.

HTTPS & Let's Encrypt Support [BETA]

• Enable HTTPS to secure your dashboard with a proper SSL certificate.
• Automatic certificate generation and renewal via Let's Encrypt — no manual setup needed.
• Falls back to a self-signed certificate automatically if Let's Encrypt isn't configured.

Security Improvements

• Added an IP Allowlist to restrict dashboard access to trusted addresses only.
• Login rate limiting to block brute-force attempts.
• Improved session management with secure cookies.

UI/UX & Website Improvements

• Premium Interface Overhaul: Replaced standard static styles with a modern, high-contrast, premium dark mode glassmorphism UI.
• Glassmorphic Panels: Introduced multi-layered backdrop-filters with subtle border refractions and inset shadows for authentic depth.
• Robust Typography: Upgraded header texts to feature rich linear gradients (#ffe98d to #cf9a1c), enhancing readability.
• Localized Assets: Implemented local image resources for window decorations (container corners), maintaining the authentic Hytale aesthetic without external network reliance.
• Refined Interactivity: Stripped hyper-animated layout shifts/bounces on-hover in favor of polished gradient and subtle glow transitions, creating a robust, professional feel based on direct user feedback.

Added

• Modernized UI Messaging: Full migration to the FormattedMessage API for all player notifications, alerts, and disconnection reasons, ensuring crisp and localized text rendering across the dashboard.

Improvements (General)

• Log Filtering: Filter server logs by level (Info, Warn, Error) and search by keyword.
• Log Deletion: Delete old log files directly from the dashboard.
• Self-Healing HTTPS: Server automatically generates a certificate on first start if none exists.
• Config Tab: SSL, domain, and Let's Encrypt settings now editable from the dashboard UI.

Fixed

• ECS Inventory Synchronization: Resolved persistent inventory sync issues by removing obsolete manual networking calls in favor of the Hytale ECS automatic component synchronization.
• Search Debouncing & UI Stability: Refactored the dashboard's search logic with optimized debouncing to prevent UI lag during high-frequency player list filtering.
• Modern Hytale Support: Full update for the latest Hytale server version, ensuring all internal Universe and PlayerRef lookups are robust.
• Codebase Housekeeping: Performed an extensive refactor to remove redundant AI comments and stabilize event listeners for a more professional, human-readable source.

Maintenance

• Built and validated for Hytale Server Version 2026.03.26-89796e57b.
