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
