Overview
TalePickup is a QoL auto pickup plugin built for Hytale servers:
- Instant Pickup: Items go directly to inventory the moment they spawn as entities. Zero delay, 100% native API.
- Smart Tree Detection: Algorithm scans the actual tree shape. Works with any tree size or shape.
- AutoSmelt: Automatically smelts ores into bars on pickup. Fully configurable recipes.
- Mob Drop Pickup: Kill mobs, loot goes straight to inventory.
- Per Player Control: Each player can toggle pickup and autosmelt independently. Preferences are saved to disk.
Key Features
Instant Inventory Pickup
- Drops are collected the moment they spawn as item entities
- Works naturally with standard block breaking, containers, and mob kills
- Container handling: All container types drop directly to inventory when broken
- Creative mode protection: Players in Creative are automatically ignored
- Inventory full handling: Remaining items stay on the ground with a throttled notification
- Native "pick up" feedback for every collected item
Smart Tree Detection (BFS)
- Configurable scan patterns: Define which block types are part of a tree (trunk, branch, leaves, roots)
- Separate trigger patterns: Only trunk/branch blocks trigger the scan, leaves alone don't
- Performance capped: Configurable max blocks (default: 1024) and max scan radius (default: 40)
- Drop offset tolerance: ±1 block face neighbor check to catch items spawning slightly off center
- Works with any tree size: From small saplings to massive ancient trees.
AutoSmelt
- Fully configurable recipes: Define input, output, and amount per recipe in config
- 10 default ore recipes: Copper, Iron, Gold, Silver, Cobalt, Mithril, Adamantite, Thorium, Onyxium, Prisma
- Per player toggle: Players can enable/disable autosmelt with [ICODE]/autosmelt[/ICODE]
- Global config control: Must be enabled in config before players can use it
- Separate permission: [ICODE]talepickup.smelt[/ICODE] for autosmelt access
Mob Drop Pickup
- Automatically picks up drops from mobs killed by the player
- Configurable pickup volume around mob death position (radius and height)
- Can be enabled/disabled independently from block pickup
- Respects the same whitelist/blacklist filters as block drops
Item Filtering
- Whitelist mode: Only pick up specific items
- Blacklist mode: Pick up everything except specific items
- Both modes are independently toggleable
