SM-Essentials

SM-Essentials is a mod for Hytale that focuses on the core quality-of-life features most servers need: homes, warps, teleport requests, chest shops, private messaging, welcome/join messaging, and configurable chat formatting.

It aims to stay practical and lightweight: clear defaults, sensible permissions, and configuration that doesn’t fight you.

Current Features

Homes: set multiple homes and teleport back to them.
Warps: create public destinations for your server (spawns, hubs, towns, etc.).
Messages: private messages, quick reply, and basic ignore tools.
Welcome & join messaging: configurable greetings and join/quit broadcasts.
Chat formatting: configurable chat templates.

Installation

Stop your server.
Place the mod JAR into your server’s mods/ directory.
Start the server.
On first start, SM-Essentials will generate its data/config files in the mod’s data directory

Data & configuration

Config file(s): generated on first boot inside the SM_Essentials directory. After editing configs, restart the server.
Module Config file(s): Also generated on first boot, each SM-Essentials module will have its own config files and folder within the SM_Essentials directory!
Modules can be enabled/disabled with /module <enable/disable> <module_name>
Modules that are disabled will be put in a modules.properties file within the /modules directory!

Formatting

Currently there is only Color formatting, although this is being improved on to add gradients, styling and custom HEX colors!

Commands

Command naming may evolve while the project is in active development.

Category	Commands	Aliases
Homes	`/sethome [name]`, `/home [name]`, `/delhome [name]`, `/homes`	None
Warps	`/setwarp [name]`, `/warp [name]`, `/delwarp [name]`, `/warps`	None
Messaging	`/msg [player] [message]`, `/reply [message]`, `/ignore [player]`	`/dm` `/msg` `/w` `/whisper`

Permissions

Permission nodes are intentionally kept predictable and granular. Exact node names can differ by build, but the general structure is:

essentials.homes.* sethome home delhome homes
essentials.messages.* reply message ignore
essentials.admin.* modules.list modules.module modules.reload

If you’re defining groups, prefer granting feature-level nodes (e.g., essentials.homes.home) rather than a global wildcard.
