HyVoltz

An electricity API for generation, transmission, and storage; in hopes of having a unified library.

HyVoltz

HyVoltz is a lightweight electricity API for Hytale mods. The API is called HyVoltz; the unit of energy it handles is called voltz. All storage, transfer, and sided-IO utilities work in voltz.

Features

  • Voltz storage and transfer interfaces
  • Sided IO configuration per block face
  • Simulation-aware transfer helpers
  • Simple reference implementations for quick integration

API Overview

Package: com.siriuswolf.hyvoltz.api.power

Core types (store/transfer voltz):

  • PowerConsumer (receive)
  • PowerProvider (extract)
  • PowerStorage (both + capacity)

Sided IO:

  • PowerSide maps to Hytale BlockFace
  • PowerConnection defines NONE / INPUT / OUTPUT / BOTH
  • SidedPowerAccess / MutableSidedPowerAccess for per-side config
  • SidedPowerConsumer, SidedPowerProvider, SidedPowerStorage for side-gated IO

Reference implementations:

  • SimplePowerStorage for capacity and rate-limited IO
  • SidedPowerConfig for per-side connection state
  • SidedPowerStorageImpl combines both for easy use

Helpers:

  • PowerTransfer for safe transfer with simulation support

Basic Usage

Create a simple capacitor-style storage (10,000 voltz):

import com.siriuswolf.hyvoltz.api.power.*;

public final class BasicCapacitor extends SidedPowerStorageImpl { public BasicCapacitor() { super(10_000, 200, 200, new SidedPowerConfig(PowerConnection.BOTH)); } }

Transfer voltz between two storages:

int moved = PowerTransfer.transfer(source, PowerSide.EAST, target, PowerSide.WEST, 100, false);

Tip: I really prefer shadowjar look into it for builds!

Server API Dependency

The project targets the Hytale latest server API. Update the server jar path in build.gradle.kts if your install differs:

...game/latest/Server/HytaleServer.jar

Integration Notes

  • Add HyVoltz to your mod's classpath and reference the API from com.siriuswolf.hyvoltz.api.power.
  • If your mod loads alongside HyVoltz as a separate plugin, declare it as a dependency in your manifest.
