MAC (Modlist And Config)

MAC adds an in-game mod list with rich metadata and a config editor that other plugins can hook into with a small registration call. It discovers mods, shows status/icons, and exposes your plugin settings as editable fields.

Features

Mod list with name, version, authors, description, website, enabled/disabled, asset pack badge
Grouped list sorting + filters + search
Config editor with live reloads (boolean, number, slider, enum, color, file, string, array, object)
Can see un registered configs (for editing)
Config section dividers (titles/subtitles)
Inline tooltip bubbles for config fields
Admin page for access control, view-only mode, and mod allowlist
Per-mod icons and fallback icons for Hytale/Hypixel and missing assets
Permission nodes:
- lyivx.mac
- lyivx.mac.config
- lyivx.mac.admin

How to use

Open the MAC UI: /mac
Open a mod config directly:
- /mac config LYIVX:MAC
- /mac config LYIVX_OreGenerator
Open the admin UI: /mac admin
Aliases for /mac: /modlist, /mods

Installation

Drop the MAC mod into your mods folder. It includes an asset pack and will load automatically.

For developers: adding configs to your plugin

MAC reads a config schema registered in code and generates the on-disk config file automatically. Defaults come from the builder chain (no resource config files).

1) Register a config schema

Use PluginConfig.register(...) in your plugin setup:

PluginConfig<MySettings> config = PluginConfig.register(
    this.getLogger(),
    new PluginIdentifier(this.getManifest()),
    MySettings.class,
    MySettings::new,
    builder -> builder
        .add.booleanField("Enable Feature").defaultsTo(true)
        .add.slider("Max Count", 1, 100, 1).defaultsTo(50)
        .add.enumField("Mode", "safe", "fast", "wild").defaultsTo("safe")
        .add.color("Accent Color").defaultsTo("#1aa3a3")
        .add.file("Icon File", "Common/UI/Custom", "png").defaultsTo("")
        .add.stringField("Footer Note").defaultsTo("")
);

The config file is written to: config/<GROUP>/<NAME>_Config.json

The schema order is preserved in the UI.

Config section dividers

You can add titled sections to group fields:

builder
    .add.section("Gameplay")
    .add.booleanField("Enable Feature").defaultsTo(true)
    .add.section("Display")
    .add.color("Accent Color").defaultsTo("#1aa3a3");

Config tooltips

Attach a tooltip to the last-added field:

builder
    .add.booleanField("Enable Feature")
    .tooltip("Turns the feature on/off.")
    .defaultsTo(true);

Object and array fields

You can nest fields as objects and add arrays with add/remove controls:

import net.lyivx.mac.config.ConfigField;

builder
    .add.objectField("Mob Settings", mob -> mob
        .add.booleanField("Enabled").defaultsTo(true)
        .add.numberField("Spawn Rate").defaultsTo(1.5)
    )
    .add.arrayField("Whitelist", ConfigField.stringField("Name"))
    .add.arrayField("Levels", ConfigField.numberField("Level"));

Arrays are rendered as sub-entries with + to add and - to remove items. Objects render their fields as nested sub-entries under a header.

Settings defaults

Your settings class can be plain fields with no initializers. Defaults are defined with .defaultsTo(...) in the schema builder.

Icons

MAC looks for a per-mod icon at: UI/Custom/<GROUP>_<NAME>.png This matches Better Modlist icon paths for compatibility: https://www.curseforge.com/hytale/mods/better-modlist so devs only need one icon location.

Fallbacks:

Hytale/Hypixel group -> Icons/ItemCategories/Hypixel.png
Missing icon -> Icons/ItemCategories/Natural.png

Modlist settings (MAC's own config)

The MAC config controls:

Show Hytale
Only With Descriptions
Only Show Configs
Max Visible Entries
Badge colors (version/enabled/disabled/assets)

This file is: config/LYIVX/MAC_Config.json

Admin settings (MAC admin config)

The admin config controls:

Enable whitelist mode (restrict /mac usage)
View-only access for non-whitelisted users
Mod allowlist for view-only users

This file is: config/LYIVX/MAC_Admin.json

Permissions

MAC command permission nodes:

lyivx.mac.command.mac
lyivx.mac.command.mac.config
lyivx.mac.command.mac.admin

Notes

The config UI only edits keys present in the registered schema.
Unknown keys are preserved in memory but removed from the on-disk file when detected.

Important

If you use MAC's config system, your mod depends on MAC being installed. That means other modlist/config browsers won't work for your mod unless MAC is present. Future updates aim to support configs that work without requiring MAC as a hard dependency. Full example
