HyTutorial

HyTutorial is a simple tutorial plugin that helps players quickly understand how your server works.

Players start the tutorial with /tutorial and receive clear, step-by-step guidance without menus or complicated setup. The tutorial is available to everyone and requires no permissions, so it works immediately after installation.

Server owners can fully customize the tutorial using a simple JSON configuration file. Any changes can be applied instantly with console command: hytutorialreload, without restarting the server.

HyTutorial is ideal for:

- welcoming new players

- explaining rules or custom mechanics

- improving first impressions and player onboarding

A lightweight, easy-to-use solution that focuses on clarity and simplicity.
