AntsEconomy — Simple UUID-Based Economy for Hytale

AntEconomy is a lightweight economy plugin for Hytale servers, inspired by classic Minecraft plugins like Essentials.

It provides a clean money system with balances, player-to-player payments, and admin economy controls — built with UUID-based storage.

Features

UUID-based balances (safe against name changes)
Player name tracking for readable messages and admin commands
Thread-safe in-memory balance cache
Offline-safe admin commands
Forward-compatible with future permissions plugins

Commands:

Player Commands

/balance <player>
/bal <player>

View your own or another player's balance.

/pay <player> <amount>

Send money to another player.

/balance hud on/off

Toggle the Balance hud element on/off

Admin Commands

/eco give <player> <amount>

Add money to a player.

/eco take <player> <amount>

Remove money from a player.

/eco reset <player>

Reset a player’s balance to the configured default.

/eco set <player> <amount>

Set a player's balance to a specific amount.

Permissions

- Permission | Description -

antseconomy.balance | View your own balance

antseconomy.balance.others | View other players’ balances

antseconomy.balance.hud | Toggle the hud on/off

antseconomy.pay | Pay other players

antseconomy.admin | Access /eco

antseconomy.admin.give | Use /eco give

antseconomy.admin.take | Use /eco take

antseconomy.admin.reset | Use /eco reset

antseconomy.admin.set | Use /eco set

AntsEconomy uses the requirePermission() functionality and so it should automatically integrate with future permissions plugins that read the same system.

Configuration

AntEconomy uses a JSON-based configuration (Hytale standard).

Example config.json:

{
  "DefaultBalance": 1000,
  "CurrencyPrefix": "$"
}

Installation

Download the plugin JAR
Place it in your server’s mods/ directory
Start the server once to generate config.json
Restart the server after changing values

No additional dependencies required

Planned Features

SQLite support when Hytale include a driver
Transaction history
Some kind of Placeholder API for UI mods
Offline payment notifications
Public API for other plugins
Banking system (Maybe a seperate mod for this)
VaultUnlocked support
