AutoIgnition

Automatically activates benches when fuel and input items are placed inside, and transfers items to and from nearby chests.

Description

🔥 AutoIgnition

AutoIgnition is a Hytale plugin that automates benches. It automatically starts processing benches (like furnaces and campfires) when items are added. Also, it transfers items to and from nearby chests.

✨ Features

  • Auto-Start: No longer need manually pressing the "Turn on" button. Processing starts immediately when fuel and input items are added.
  • Fuel Conservation: Automatically extinguishes the bench when the recipe is complete or inputs run out, saving your precious resources.
  • Auto-Refuel: Automatically takes fuel items from adjacent chests or output slot into the bench's fuel slot.
  • Auto-Output: Automatically moves output items from the output slot into adjacent chests.

đź›  Installation

  1. Navigate to your Hytale User Data folder: C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Hytale\UserData\
  2. Copy the plugin JAR into the Mods\ folder.
  3. Launch Hytale and enable the plugin in the world settings.

⚙️ Configuration

AutoIgnition offers a configuration file:

Config path: ...\Saves\YOUR_WORLD\mods\AutoIgnition_AutoIgnition\AutoIgnitionConfig.json

Configuration Options

Option Type Default Description
UpdateIntervalMs Long 1000 The delay (in milliseconds) between items transfer. Higher values reduce server load.
ScannerIntervalMs Long 10000 The delay (in milliseconds) between containers scan. Higher values reduce server load.
EnableOutputTransfer Boolean true If enabled, automatically moves finished products from benches to nearby chests.
EnableAutoRefuel Boolean true If enabled, automatically pulls fuel from nearby containers into the bench.
EnableInputTransfer Boolean true When enabled, automatically pulls required ingredients from nearby containers.
EnableAutoFuelStart Boolean true If enabled, automatically ignites the bench when both fuel and input materials are present.
EnableAutoFuelStop Boolean true If enabled, automatically extinguishes the bench when the recipe is finished to save fuel.
BlacklistedFuelItems List ["Wood_Sallow_Trunk"] List of Item IDs that should never be used as fuel by the automation.
BlacklistedInputItems List ["Ingredient_Bar_Gold"] A list of item IDs that the mod is forbidden from pulling as ingredients.
BlacklistedProcessorBenches List [""] A list of processor benches that the mod is not authorized to manage operation.

Note: Default blacklists are included to prevent the consumption of rare woods (Sallow) or the accidental processing of expensive materials (Gold Bars).

🚀 Future Roadmap

We are currently brainstorming and developing ideas to improve the plugin. Here is what we are considering for future updates:

  • Priority Storage: Define which chests should be filled or emptied first.
  • Filter Logic: Input/output filters (e.g., only move Iron Ore to this specific furnace).
  • More configuration options: New config options to increase the scanning radius beyond the 6 immediate neighbors.
  • More bench management: Allow independent configuration management for each processing bench.
