Description
GlymeraArcade - The Arcade Cabinet for Hytale
A glowing arcade machine for your world with seven keyboard games in a genuine Hytale look: MineStack, Burrow Worm, Ore Fusion, Trap Dig, Shard Swap, Nine Runes and Vault Code. Every game keeps your best score and shows the server record.
What is GlymeraArcade?
Place the Arcade Cabinet in your base, your tavern or your spawn town. It lights up its surroundings like a lit screen. Click it and a game list opens with your best score and the server record for every game. Press Play and the game runs in a window - you play with the keyboard, right where you stand.
All seven games are built from real Hytale textures: blocks, crystals, ores, grass and soil. No client mod, no resource pack to install.
The Games
| Game | How it works | Keys |
|---|---|---|
| MineStack | Falling pieces made of Hytale blocks (ice, hay, crystal, grass, redwood, stone brick, copper). Fill a row across the 12-wide well and it crumbles away. Every 10 rows the pieces fall faster. Some pieces carry a gold ore block - clear its row for a bonus. | A/D move, W/Q rotate, S down, Space drop, C hold, P pause |
| Burrow Worm | Steer a worm through the soil. Red crystals make it longer, gold nuggets appear for a few seconds and pay more. Every five crystals the worm gets faster and a boulder drops in. Hitting the edge, a boulder or yourself ends the run. | W A S D steer, P pause |
| Ore Fusion | Four by four slots of ore. Every move slides all ores to one side; two equal ores fuse into the next one: copper, iron, silver, gold, thorium, cobalt, adamantite, mithril, onyxium, prisma, prisma heart. A new ore appears after each move. No move left ends the game. | W A S D slide |
| Trap Dig | A meadow hides 36 traps. Dig a patch: a number tells how many traps lie in the eight patches around it. Flag the traps, dig everything else. Your first dig is always safe; digging on a number whose flags are all set digs the rest around it. | W A S D move, Space dig, F flag |
| Shard Swap | Pick a crystal shard and swap it with a neighbour. A swap only counts if it lines up three or more equal shards; they crumble, new shards fall in, chains multiply the points. 30 moves per round. | W A S D move, Space pick, then W A S D swap |
| Nine Runes | Fill the 9x9 rune board so every row, column and 3x3 box holds each rune 1 to 9 exactly once. Every puzzle has exactly one solution; choose easy, medium or hard. Clashing runes turn red; a hint reveals one rune and costs points. | W A S D move, 1-9 place, 0/X clear, H hint |
| Vault Code | The vault hides a code of four ores out of six (an ore may appear twice). Each try shows gold nuggets for ores in the right slot and silver nuggets for right ores in a wrong slot - not which ones. Crack it within ten tries; the fewer tries, the more points. | 1-6 place ore, X take back, Space try |
In every game window: R = new game after the end, M = back to the game list, Esc = close.
Best Scores
Every player's best score is saved per game, and the game list as well as every game window show the server record with the name of the player who holds it. Scores survive server restarts.
Crafting
At the Furniture Bench, Misc tab:
| Item | Ingredients |
|---|---|
| Arcade Cabinet | 10x Iron Bar, 5x Greater Essence of Life |
Both ingredients are obtainable in Adventure mode. In creative mode the cabinet sits in its own Arcade tab.
The recipe can be switched off in the config (recipeEnabled: false); ingredients, amounts, bench and tab are configurable too.
For Server Owners
mods/de.glymera_GlymeraArcade/config.json is written on the first start; an _info line in the file explains every key.

Best scores are stored in arcade_scores.json in the same folder. The recipe lives in a small asset pack (GlymeraArcadeRecipes) that the plugin writes next to the jar.
Installation
Drop GlymeraArcade-<version>.jar into your server's mods/ folder and restart. Works in singleplayer worlds as well. Requires Hytale 0.6 or newer.
Technical Notes
- All game logic runs on the server; the client only shows the window. Randomness is rolled server-side.
- The games are drawn with the engine's own window system: every cell is an image made from real Hytale block and ore textures, and only cells that change are sent. One shared background thread ticks all open game windows.
- The keyboard is read through an invisible, always-focused input field in the window. If the keys stop reacting after clicking into the window, close it (Esc) and open the game again.
- Nine Runes puzzles are generated on the fly and checked to have exactly one solution.
