PlaytimeTracker 1.0.9 — Leaderboard Privacy & Rewards UI Update

This update adds better control over who appears on the PlaytimeTracker leaderboard and makes the Rewards UI easier for players to access.

Server owners and staff can now hide selected players from leaderboard rankings while still keeping their playtime fully tracked.

Added

Leaderboard Privacy

Players can now be hidden from the leaderboard without disabling playtime tracking.

Hidden players still keep:

• Total playtime
• Current session time
• Daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly statistics
• Reward progress
• Reward claiming
• Normal dashboard access

Hidden players now display Unranked on their dashboard.

Hidden players no longer appear in:

• /playtime top
• The Playtime UI leaderboard
• Rank calculations
• Rank placeholders

Hidden players no longer take up leaderboard positions.

Leaderboard visibility changes apply immediately and persist across server restarts.

Existing playtime data is never deleted, reset, or modified when a player is hidden or shown.

Direct Rewards UI Command

Players can now open the Rewards page directly with:

/playtime rewardsui

This skips the main dashboard and opens the existing player-facing Rewards UI immediately.

The command uses the existing UI permissions:

playtime.use
playtime.ui

The original commands remain unchanged:

/playtime ui

Opens the main PlaytimeTracker dashboard.

/playtime rewards

Displays the existing chat-based reward progress information.

The new command has also been documented inside the Rewards Admin About/help page.

New Staff Commands

/playtime leaderboard hide <player>
/playtime leaderboard show <player>
/playtime leaderboard status <player>

These commands work with online players and previously tracked offline players.

New Permissions

playtime.leaderboard.manage

Allows trusted staff to use the leaderboard management commands.

playtime.leaderboard.hidden

Keeps a player tracked while excluding them from leaderboard rankings.

Normal players cannot access the new management commands unless they are given the required permission.

Notes

/playtime leaderboard hide <player> adds the player to PlaytimeTracker’s saved hidden-player list.

/playtime leaderboard show <player> removes the player from PlaytimeTracker’s saved hidden-player list.

A player may remain hidden after using the show command if they still have the exact permission:

playtime.leaderboard.hidden

The show command does not remove permissions from Hytale’s permission system.

Wildcard permissions such as * and playtime.* do not automatically hide operators or staff.

Hidden players continue earning and saving playtime normally.

Hiding or showing a player does not delete, reset, pause, or modify their existing playtime.

Offline players can be managed as long as they have already been tracked by PlaytimeTracker.

Use the following command to check why a player is currently hidden or visible:

/playtime leaderboard status <player>

Recommended Setup

Give trusted staff the following permission:

playtime.leaderboard.manage

Use the hide and show commands for normal leaderboard management.

Use playtime.leaderboard.hidden only when you want a player to remain hidden through a direct permission or permission group.
