GlymeraGlass - Colored Glass Blocks for Hytale

Transparent colored glass in 8 colors, normal and glowing. See lava and water through it, keep fluids out of it, craft it from Adventure-mode ingredients.

What is GlymeraGlass?

GlymeraGlass adds 16 transparent glass blocks to Hytale: 8 colors as normal glass and 8 as glowing glass. Each block has a clean colored frame with light reflections and is fully transparent in the center. Glowing variants emit colored light. The glass is built for fluid builds — aquariums, lava shafts, ore generators, underwater rooms: fluids stay visible through the pane and never flow into it.

Features

• 8 colors: Red, Blue, Green, Cyan, Purple, Pink, Yellow, White
• Normal glass: transparent with colored frame and reflections
• Glowing glass: same look, emits colored light (radius 10 blocks)
• Fluids stay visible through glass — water and lava behind a pane are drawn correctly (regular full blocks hide fluid faces)
• Fluids stay out of glass — from the side, from above, from a source on top, from a stream you build into; a bucket emptied against glass pours in front of the pane
• Works with GlymeraPlotWorld — plot protection for buckets keeps working, in any load order
• Craftable in Adventure mode at the Furniture Bench (see below)
• Solid blocks: full collision, placed and broken like any block, drops itself

Crafting

All ingredients can be gathered in Adventure mode.

Normal Glass (Furniture Bench → Village Walls tab)

Any stone variant works (stone, cobble, mossy). Smooth colored clay is the vanilla pottery recipe: 2x Clay + 1x petal of that color at the Furniture Bench.

Glowing Glass (Furniture Bench → Lighting tab)

Colored crystals drop from the glowing cave crystals (mineshafts, caves, monuments) and from crystal golems and mages.

Installation

Drop the single JAR into your server's mods/ folder:

mods/GlymeraGlass-5.0.0.jar

That's it. The JAR contains everything: block definitions, textures, icons, language file and the plugin. No configuration. Requires Hytale 0.6 or newer.

Updating from an older version: existing glass blocks keep working; rebuild placed panes only if you want the new render path on blocks placed before v3.

Technical Details

• All-in-one JAR with IncludesAssetPack: true
• Glass uses the model render path (DrawType: Model) with a full-cube model and cutout textures — the only path where the client keeps drawing fluid faces behind a block
• A glass-aware copy of the native fluid ticker is installed at start (glass counts as solid for the simulation, fluid inside a glass cell is removed); restored on shutdown; other plugins' fluid patches (e.g. GlymeraOres) keep working
• The bucket interaction ("PlaceFluid") is chained: the glass shift runs first, then whatever was registered before (GlymeraPlotWorld's plot guard or the native code). Optional dependency on de.glymera:GlymeraPlotWorld only fixes the load order; PlotWorld is not required
• Glowing blocks use a colored Light with radius 10
• Break particles and sounds: BlockParticleSetId: GlassEmpty, BlockSoundSetId: Glass

Version History

• v5.0.0 - Fluids can no longer enter glass from any direction; bucket fix works together with GlymeraPlotWorld; Adventure-mode recipes (smooth clay / colored crystals, Furniture Bench)
• v4.0.0 - Bucket pours in front of glass; glass placed into a fluid displaces it; Hytale 0.6
• v3.0.0 - Fluids visible through glass (model render path); light passes through glass
• v2.0.0 - Version housekeeping release (same content as v1.0.0)
• v1.0.0 - Initial release: 8 colors x 2 variants, crafting recipes, single-JAR deployment
