TheBasics: Mailbox

TheBasics_Mailbox adds functional mailbox furniture to Hytale, letting players interact with a physical mailbox instead of manually typing a command.

The mod includes both a Tall Mailbox and a Short Mailbox, each with custom models, textures, icons, hitboxes, crafting recipes, and native Hytale interaction support. Both can be crafted from the Furniture Workbench under Misc and placed normally in the world.

When a player looks at either mailbox and presses F, the mod executes the server’s /mail command as that player. This means it is designed to work alongside an existing mail system or plugin rather than replacing one.

The command can also be changed in the source code, making the mailbox useful as a simple physical interaction point for other server commands.

Features include:

• Tall and Short Mailbox variants
• Craftable at the Furniture Workbench
• Native Press F to Interact behavior
• Executes /mail as the player
• Custom models, textures, icons, and hitboxes
• Single-JAR installation
• Designed for Hytale 0.5.0

Upcoming:
More mailbox textures and visual variants are planned to better match different wood types, furniture sets, and building styles. The goal is to make the mailbox feel natural in everything from rustic villages to cleaner or darker-themed builds..
