GlymeraUnder - Changelog

v2.0.0 (2026-07-27) - the way home

The Under has a gate of its own

• A return gate now stands in the middle of the protected arrival area. It is built automatically the first time anyone arrives, always on solid ground and never walled into rock, with a guaranteed strip of floor in front of it.
• The gate is a fully closed rectangle, 4 blocks wide and 5 high on the outside - corners included - around a 2x3 opening, centred on the arrival point.
• /gunder gate clears the column and rebuilds exactly one gate.
• Walking into it sends each player back to exactly the spot they entered from. The plugin remembers every player's own entry point and keeps it across restarts. Anyone who arrived by command, with no entry on record, is sent to the configured return world's spawn as before.
• Until now the Under side had no portal at all: players who walked in without carrying spare Underrock were stranded, because Underrock never drops inside the Under.
• New operator command /gunder gate rebuilds the gate if it is ever torn down.
• Arrivals and respawns now land on the strip in front of the gate instead of on the exact centre column, so nobody materialises inside the portal.
• A gate only ever fires when a player steps into it, never while they are standing in one. Anyone who arrives inside a portal simply walks out - one block is enough - instead of being shuttled back and forth. The portal cooldown (now 5 seconds, configurable) remains as a second line of defence.

Every recipe is craftable again, at the bench it belongs to

• 18 recipes had no bench assignment at all. In Hytale that means they belong to no bench and to no pocket crafting slot: the recipe shows up in the item info, but there is nowhere to make it. Affected were the Underplant Block, all 15 Underplant furniture pieces, the Underward Potion, and Underrose Brick - the last one quietly locked the entire rose block set, since all 17 rose forms are cut from that one brick.
• They now sit where players look for them:
  • Furniture bench - all 15 Underplant furniture pieces
  • Alchemy bench - the Underward Potion
  • Workbench - Underplant Block and Underrose Brick
  • Builder's Bench - the 34 block-set forms, unchanged

Recipe switches

• Every recipe group can now be turned off on its own, not just the potion and the block forms: underwardRecipeEnabled, blockRecipesEnabled, furnitureRecipesEnabled, plantBlockRecipeEnabled. The items stay in the game and keep dropping - only the recipe disappears, for servers that want looting to be the only way to get them.

Balance

• Underrock now drops at 1 : 250 instead of 1 : 1000 - roughly 1500 blocks for the smallest gate instead of 6000. Still underrockDropChance in the config.
• Note for existing servers: the plugin never overwrites config values that are already there. To pick up the new rate, either set underrockDropChance to 0.004 by hand or delete plugins/GlymeraUnder/config.json and let it regenerate.

v1.0.0 (2026-07-26) - first release

The dimension

• A second world, "The Under": endless floating islands of Understone in a violet void, permanent dusk, own weather and own music (two dark tracks with long silences).
• The world creates itself on first server start - no setup required. Time is locked, the arrival island is generated deterministically, and the world spawn is pinned to it so first joins and respawns always land in a safe place.
• Built as a farm world: delete the world folder any time, restart, and the plugin wipes its own registries and generates a fresh Under.

Getting there

• Underrock drops rarely from mining any block in the normal world (1 : 1000 by default, configurable, and disabled inside the Under itself).
• Stack about ten into an upright frame and the portal ignites by itself. It works both ways and returns players to the world they came from. Breaking the frame collapses the portal; the portal interior can never be mined or dropped by anyone.
• The arrival area is protected from griefing: non-operators can neither build nor break within a configurable square around the arrival point.

Creatures

• Undermen - neutral until you look them in the eyes, then they teleport to you, dodge projectiles and strike hard. They drop 0-2 Underpearls. Spectres and void brutes share the islands with them; all of them spawn through Hytale's native world spawn system.
• Underpearls - throw one and you teleport to the point where it lands.
• Tower guardians - red-veined skeletons with 5x health and 5x damage that watch a 20-block zone around their treasure chest. They notice players with or without line of sight and teleport next to anyone who tries to reach the chest from cover.

Plants

• Underplant - plant a bloom on Understone and it climbs and branches, differently every time. Breaking the trunk fells the whole plant. Wild groves generate across the world.
• Full material chain: stems → Underplant Block → a 15-piece furniture set in the plant's own violet wood (bed, chair, table, bookshelf, wardrobe, door, trapdoor, ladder, shelf, sign, stool, bench, counter, crate, platform).
• Undervines - glowing wall vines that spread sideways and downwards, hang free below the wall's end supported by the vine above them, and drop their unsupported strand when a link is cut. Growth is paced and self-limiting: overgrown areas stop consuming server time entirely until something nearby changes.

Structures and building material

• Four ruined towers (watchtower, temple, ruin tower, ocean dome) scatter across the islands, each rebuilt in Under stone, overgrown with vines, with a treasure chest holding adamantite bars and a guardian nearby.
• Two block families in 17 shapes each - Understone (dark) and Underrose (pale): full blocks, cobble, bricks, stairs, half slabs, walls, pillars, beams, ornate and smooth. Craftable at the Builder's Bench (1 Understone per dark shape; Understone + Underbloom makes an Underrose brick, which shapes into the pale forms) or lootable from the ruins.

Potion

• Underward Potion - 5 Underpearls + 5 life essence + an empty bottle. Blocks the next hits you take completely, however hard they are. Charge count is configurable.

Server owners

• Operator commands: /gunder tp, /gunder back, /gunder create, /gunder status, /gunder spawn <type>.
• Configurable: world shape (island size, density, height band), auto-creation, portal cooldown and return world, Underrock drop rate, plant and vine growth speed, wild grove and tower frequency, chest contents, potion charges, arrival protection radius, and each recipe group individually.
• Server-side only: no client mod, no resource pack, no external dependency.
