Better Marriage

💍 Better Marriage

A modern, immersive marriage and wedding system for Hytale servers.

✨ About

Better Marriage adds a complete relationship gameplay loop to your server:

• Proposal and acceptance flow
• Interactive priest-led ceremonies
• Contract drafting and signing
• Smart /marry UI that changes based on player marriage state
• Couple utilities (chat, TP, home, info)
• Ceremony rewards, gifts, guestbook, and post-ceremony summaries
• Powerful admin and cinematic wedding tools in-game

No external database setup required. Everything runs with local plugin data files.

🖥️ User-Friendly UI

The plugin is designed to be driven directly from /marry, without command spam.

When not married (/marry → SINGLE_SETUP UI):

• Create proposal from UI
• Open proposal inbox from UI
• Open ceremony setup from UI
• Open contract editor from UI

Contract editor (in-UI workflow):

• Set participants
• Add and remove clauses
• Set and cycle split
• Choose start music and party music
• Validate contract before ceremony
• Export draft summary

When married (/marry → HOME UI):

• Relation page
• Quests and objectives pages
• Anniversary pages
• Contract details page
• Ceremony summary page
• Gift chest page
• Guestbook page
• Settings page (admin)

Result: players can do almost everything directly inside the /marry UI, including contract setup and post-marriage couple management.

📦 Installation

1. Build or download the BetterMarriage jar
2. Drop it into your server mods folder
3. Restart server
4. Use /marry to open the main UI
5. Configure config.yaml and messages.yaml

🧭 Typical Ceremony Workflow

1. Player A uses /marry propose <playerB>
2. Player B uses /marry accept
3. Priest runs /marry ceremony <playerA> <playerB> [tier]
4. Priest confirms with /marry ceremony confirm
5. Players use:
   • /wedding start
   • /wedding contract
   • /wedding hype or /wedding blessing
   • /wedding gift [message]
6. Ceremony completes and data is saved automatically

🧪 Troubleshooting

• "No permission" → check bettermarriage.use
• "Need altar" → /marry altar set
• "Priest required" → give bettermarriage.priest
• "Missing role permission" → adjust config or permissions
• "Contract required" → complete contract in UI
