Hylib – Hytale Utility Library
Hylib is a lightweight utility library for Kotlin-based Hytale plugins. It provides event handling, storage helpers, codecs, and utilities to make plugin development smoother. Works with Java plugins too (some class names end in `Kt`).
Included Features
- Player events: PlayerLeftClickEvent, PlayerRightClickEvent, PlayerUseEvent (Use keybind, F by default)
- Command utilities: StringArgumentType
- Codecs: LocationCodec
- Internal packet/listener support: SyncInteractionChainsPacketListener, PacketWatcherService (do not interact directly)
- Utilities: TeleportUtil, DateTimeUtil
- Storage & JSON helpers: JsonStorage and internal identifiable system
- Main library object: Hylib.kt
Quick Start
Add Hylib via Maven Central:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compileOnly("me.xcue:hylib:26.0.0")
}
Also include it in your plugin manifest.json:
{
"Dependencies": {
"xcue:Hylib": "^26.0.0"
}
}
Example Usage
Listen for the "RightClick" event:
import me.xcue.hylib.api.events.PlayerRightClickEvent
eventRegistry.register(PlayerRightClickEvent::class.java) { e ->
println("Player right clicked: ${e.playerRef.username}")
}
Other utilities like TeleportUtil and DateTimeUtil are ready to use directly.
⚠️ Internal packet listeners and watchers are handled automatically. Do not interact with them.
