Features

Spells

All spells are node graphs — connected pipelines of 22 node types that you can edit, replace, or create from scratch. Every spell (including the 8 built-in ones) is a JSON file. Drop a new file into the spells/ folder and /sb reload. Use the Spell Editor to create spells visually.

Enchantments

Trigger-based effects that attach to staffs and fire automatically during combat. Earn XP from combat, roll for enchantments at the Enchanting Table UI, and apply them to your staff. 3 tiers: Common, Rare, Epic.

Staff Enchantments

Passives

Persistent abilities that activate on triggers or intervals. Manage them through the Passives UI. 3 tiers with configurable max active limit per player.

Drop Tables

Custom materials drop from NPCs on top of Hytale's native drops. 14 default drop tables included. Add your own by placing JSON files in the drops/ folder.

Equipment

Staffs

5 quality tiers from Common to Legendary — higher tiers provide damage, mana, and cooldown bonuses.

Staff Crafting

Scrolls & Materials

Learn spells permanently with scroll items. Craft everything at the Arcane Workbench using materials dropped from NPCs.

Requirements

  • Hytale Server (Latest version)
  • Java 25 or higher

Mana System

Spellbook Plus v2 uses Hytale's native mana stat. The included SpellbookNativeMana.json patch sets mana to 100/100 with 5/s regen, but this patch only applies if Hytalor is installed. Without Hytalor (or another mod that processes server patches), players will have 0/0 mana and won't be able to cast spells.

Optional Dependencies

  • Hytalor — Applies server patches including the mana stat (strongly recommended)
  • MultipleHUD — HUD compatibility with other mods

Documentation

Full documentation including commands, configuration, spell creation, enchantments, passives, drop tables, and the API is available on the Wiki.

v2.0 Migration: Spellbook Plus v2 is a complete rewrite with no direct upgrade path from v1. See the Migration Guide.

Looking for Contributors

Currently, the mod uses Hytale's native assets as I don't have strong 3D modeling or graphic design skills. If you're interested in contributing custom staff models, spell effects, or UI designs, feel free to reach out!
