Extra Trigger Volume actions, conditions, packet-backed tools, and creator utilities for Hytale servers.
HyExtras is a modular creator and developer toolkit for Hytale servers. It extends the native Trigger Volume system with extra effects and conditions, per-player variables, persistent tags, cooldowns, packet-backed visibility features, command execution, volume chaining, floating item displays, NPC state tools, image icons, and more.
HyExtras is built for server owners, map makers, dungeon creators, MMO-style servers, quest systems, adventure maps, and developers who want more control without replacing Hytale’s native Trigger Volume workflow.
HyExtras does not replace the native Trigger Volume system.
It adds extra tools on top of it.
HyExtras gives creators and server developers more ways to react to player actions inside Trigger Volumes.
Use it to create things like:
HyExtras adds a large collection of extra Trigger Volume effects, including:
HyExtras also adds extra conditions so your Trigger Volumes can check for things before running effects.
Examples include:
This makes it easier to build content that reacts differently for each player.
HyExtras can track per-player data that works great for quests, dungeons, puzzles, and progression.
Supported state types include:
| State Type | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Variables | Runtime counters, scores, temporary progress, puzzle states |
| Cooldowns | Reward timers, anti-spam logic, repeatable events |
| Visibility Overrides | Hide or show entities for specific players |
| Persistent Tags | Story flags, unlocks, completed objectives, long-term progression |
Variables and cooldowns are runtime-only, while persistent tags are saved and survive restarts.
HyExtras includes optional packet-backed tools for advanced server content.
These can be used for:
This is especially useful for MMO servers, story-driven servers, dungeon servers, and servers that need player-specific experiences.
HyExtras is split into internal modules so server owners can enable only what they need.
Current modules include:
%placeholder% support in HyExtras textMost modules can be toggled or reloaded through config or /hextras commands.
Create decorative item displays that are not meant to be picked up.
Useful for:
Floating items can be persistent, intangible, animated, and managed with commands.
TagNPC lets HyExtras track runtime state on UUID-backed NPCs, mobs, or entities.
You can use it to:
This is useful for story content, interactive mobs, and server-side quest systems.
HyExtras includes an Image Icons system for developer mods.
It supports:
This is designed for developers who want reusable icon support across HyExtras-compatible systems.
HyExtras supports native placeholders like:
{player}
{uuid}
{variable:key}Optional PlaceholderAPI support can also be enabled to resolve %placeholder% tokens when PlaceholderAPI for Hytale is installed.
All HyExtras admin commands are under:
/hextrasCommand groups include:
/hextras var
/hextras tag
/hextras cooldown
/hextras list
/hextras debug
/hextras modules
/hextras module
/hextras tagnpc
/hextras floatingitems
/hextras reloadThese commands allow admins to manage player variables, tags, cooldowns, modules, TagNPC state, floating items, debugging, and runtime reloads.
A hidden ruins area that greets a player once every 5 minutes and tracks visits:
{
"conditions": [
{ "type": "cooldown_ready", "eventType": "ENTER", "Name": "ruins_intro" }
],
"effects": [
{ "type": "apply_cooldown", "eventType": "ENTER", "Name": "ruins_intro", "Duration": 300.0 },
{ "type": "add_variable", "eventType": "ENTER", "Key": "ruins_visits", "Delta": 1 },
{ "type": "send_title", "eventType": "ENTER", "Title": "The Hidden Ruins", "Subtitle": "Visit #{variable:ruins_visits}" }
]
}This kind of setup can be used for dungeons, story zones, tutorial areas, puzzle rooms, reward areas, and more.

Example:
HyExtrasApi api = HyExtrasApi.get();
api.setVariableString(playerUuid, "partyId", "alpha");
