Technical Details

How It Works

1. WorldMapManager API: Uses Hytale's official map generation system
2. Chunk Processing: Processes each chunk individually for accuracy
3. Real Data: No artificial effects - pure terrain data from the game
4. Geometric Shading: Uses Hytale's built-in height-based shading
5. Player Position: Centers maps around your current location

Performance

• Async Processing: Non-blocking generation won't freeze the server
• Progress Updates: Real-time feedback during generation
• Memory Efficient: Processes chunks individually to minimize memory usage
• Error Handling: Graceful fallbacks for unloaded chunks

Installation

1. Download the latest MapGen-[version].jar
2. Place in your Hytale UserData/Mods/ folder
