Description

Qolaxis by Lorewound

Qolaxis makes Hytale nicer to play without making it easier to win: it changes how the game feels, not what anything is worth. Healing that comes back between fights, a clock, the name and health of what you look at, your weapon's damage before you swing it, arrows that come back, chests that sort themselves. One mod in place of a handful of small ones.

Requirements


Hytale version	0.7.x. Played on 0.7.2.
Other versions	Not for 0.6 or 0.8: the server does not load it there.
Side	Server (and single player). Nothing to install on the client.
Dependencies	None.

Install

Put Qolaxis-<version>.jar into your server's or world's mods folder.
Start the game. The log shows Qolaxis <version> ready.
If you used any of the mods Qolaxis replaces (listed under "Good to know"), remove them.

What it does

Feature	What it does
Healing out of combat	After 10 s without taking damage, health comes back at 1 % every 2 s.
Sleep heals	Waking from a full sleep in a bed fills the health bar.
Clock	A small line at the top of the screen: the time, the day, a sun or a moon.
What you look at	Its name and the mod it comes from. Creatures and players get a health bar, their distance, level, attitude (hostile, neutral, passive) and effects. Below: the tool a block wants and whether yours breaks it, what it drops; a crop's growth stage and whether its soil is watered; what a creature resists and drops, with the chances.
Item tooltips	Item level, mod, the bench that makes it, how many recipes use it, mining tier, armor resistances. Worked out once at start: no cost while playing.
Damage and defence	Bottom left: the held weapon's damage per hit, read from the weapon so you can compare before a fight; your measured DPS once you have fought; your armour's defence.
Any arrow in any bow	Every bow and crossbow shoots every arrow, from the game or from other mods. Better arrows hit harder: 1 % per item level above the Crude Arrow (Iron +11 %, Trueshot +66 %).
Crossbow keeps its load	Put a loaded crossbow away and take it back: its bolts are still in it, even after logging out.
Arrows come back	An arrow that hits drops at the creature's feet; one that misses comes back when you walk within 3 blocks, and stays 10 minutes. From any bow, modded ones too.
Item magnet	Items within 14 blocks fly to you, through walls and corners. Arrows are left for you to walk to.
Auto-sort	A chest is sorted when you open it. Your own bags are left as you keep them.
Crafting reach	A bench takes materials from chests up to 128 blocks away.
Benches relight	Turn a furnace (or a smelter, or an ore crusher) on once and it lights again whenever it has work and fuel, until you turn it off.
Off-hand follows the hand	A sword, axe, club or crossbow brings your shield out; a tool swaps it for a torch.
Gear comparison	A weapon, armor piece or tool's tooltip says in green or red whether it beats what you use in its place, and by how much. Works for modded items too.
Glass holds things	Tables, chests, torches and beds go on glass floors and walls, modded glass too, as on stone.
Trash Bag	Right-click to open it beside your inventory, or crouch and right-click to set it down and feed it with a tube. What is left inside is destroyed when it closes.
Sparring Dummy	Set it up and hit it: it shows the held weapon's last hit, average hit, DPS and number of hits.

Recipes

Both are crafted at the vanilla Workbench.

Item	Category	Ingredients	Workbench tier
Trash Bag	Survival	3 Linen Scraps, 2 Fibre	1
Sparring Dummy	Tinkering	1 log, 3 Tree Sap, 3 Sticks	1

Getting started

Nothing to set up: healing, the clock, the look-at panel, the damage readout, the magnet and auto-sort work from the first second.
Hold any weapon: DMG bottom left shows what it deals per hit. Swap weapons to compare.
Craft a Sparring Dummy, right-click a floor, and hit it to see your real numbers.
Turn a furnace on once: from then on it relights by itself whenever it has ore and fuel.
Craft a Trash Bag for the hotbar, or set one down at the end of a tube line to catch overflow.

For server owners

mods/com.lorewound_Qolaxis/config.json (written on the first start) sets:

Key	Default	What it does
`craftingChestRadius`	128	How far across a bench reaches for chests (the game: 14)
`craftingChestHeight`	128	How far up and down (the game: 6)
`craftingChestLimit`	1000	How many chests (the game: 100)
`sleepHealPercent`	100	Share of the health bar a full sleep gives back
`offhandSwitch`	true	Shield and torch follow the held item

Qolaxis has no commands. Crossbow loads are kept in mods/com.lorewound_Qolaxis/crossbow-loads/.

Good to know (beta)

This is a beta. Please report what you find:

Multiplayer. Developed and played by one player in single player. Several players are untested.
Replaces these mods: Recover Arrows, Target Health, Simply Trash, Item Magnet, Grab From Far, PJ Sleep Regeneration, Offhand Reflex and AutoFurnace. Run only one of each pair.
Bows and crossbows. Qolaxis replaces the game's bow and crossbow templates and five of their interaction files. A mod that replaces the same files wins or loses by load order. Bows and crossbows built on the game's templates (More Crossbow Tiers and others) work.
Names other mods give in plain text (not as translation keys) cannot be found by mods that search names, such as Where This At's lectern. That is for those mods to fix.
Removing the mod. Pick up placed Trash Bags and Training Dummies first; what is left becomes unknown blocks and creatures. A crossbow put away loaded keeps its bolts only while Qolaxis runs.
Auto-sort and the magnet are always on.
All numbers are playtest values and may change.
