CannaTaleEssentials

CannaTaleEssentials is an essentials-style toolkit for Hytale Servers: homes, warps, teleports, messaging, staff tools, and quality-of-life commands designed specifically to work cleanly with your server's moderation flow.

Required dependency

This mod depends on CannaTalePermissions (required in manifest.json)

• Ensures permissions are available before Essentials registers commands
• Lets staff/admin gating work consistently using one system

What it includes

Player QoL (no permissions required)

• Spawn teleport: /spawn
  • Uses the world's real spawn provider (same spawn system new players use)
  • Falls back to Essentials' stored spawn if needed (set via /setspawn)
• Homes
  • /sethome [name], /home <name>, /delhome <name>, /homes
  • Stored per-player in data.json
• Warps
  • /warp <name>, /warps
• Teleport requests
  • /tpa <player> (teleports to them)
  • /tpahere <player> (request them to teleport to you)
  • /tpaccept [player], /tpdeny [player], /tpcancel
  • Requests expire automatically (60s) and only one outstanding request per requester→target pair is kept
• Private messaging
  • /msg <player> <message...>
  • /reply <message...> (replies to the last DM partner)
• Back
  • /back returns you to your last saved location
  • Only saved when you teleport via CTE commands (doesn't hijack other teleport systems)
• Who
  • /who lists online players

Staff tools (permission-gated)

• Staff chat
  • /staffchat <message...> (alias: /sc)
  • Broadcasts only to players with the staff node
• Instant staff teleports
  • /tpo <player> (teleport to player instantly) ( /tpohere <player> (teleport player to you instantly)
• Vanish (persistent)
  • /vanish (alias: /v)
  • Uses each viewer's HiddenPlayersManager to hide/show vanished players
  • Persists across reconnects
  • Shows a small on-screen HUD indicator while vanished
• Fly
  • /fly toggles flight via MovementManager settings
  • Persists across reconnects and reapplies on plugin reload

Admin tools (permission-gated)

• Set spawn
  • /setspawn sets the world spawn to your current position (uses the same underlying spawn provider method as world config)
  • Also syncs Essentials' fallback spawn
• Warp management
  • /setwarp <name>
  • /delwarp <name>

Permissions used by CTE

CTE intentionally keeps permissions simple:

• cannatale.essentials.staff - staff tools (staffchat, vanish, fly, tpo/tpohere)
• cannatale.essentials.staff.admin - admin tools (setspawn, setwarp, delwarp)

Data / Files

Created in the plugin data folder:

• data.json - one simple JSON blob storing:
  • spawn fallback location
  • warps
  • homes
  • persisted vanish state
  • persisted fly state

Nice touch: /cte help hub

• /cte (alias: /ct) is a help/usage command that lists available commands
• It only shows Staff/Admin sections if the viewer has the relevant permission notes
