Wayfarer's Satchel

A little leather satchel, far bigger on the inside. 🎒✨

Place it, open it, and step inside to a cozy room that is entirely yours. Wayfarer's Satchel gives every player their own private, persistent dimension: a timber lodge with a stone hearth, a kitchen corner, a glowing garden and a mana pool under a night sky. Build in it, store things in it, and it will be waiting exactly as you left it.

How it works

A bag with a secret 🪄

Place the satchel and it sits closed, like any bag. Use it and the flap swings open: a scroll, a key and a gem float up out of the bag in a swirl of sparkles, with a ring of runes glowing underneath. Use it again to step inside.

Your own dimension 🏡

Inside is a 25 by 25 block lodge that belongs to you:

• a stone hearth with braziers, a kitchen corner, windows and furniture
• a glowing garden along one wall
• a mana pool under an oculus, lit by a night sky
• plenty of space to build: you can change the walls, floor and ceiling and make it your own

Everything you build and everything you store is saved with the world. Leave for a while and come back, and it is just as you left it.

Shared by whoever places it 🤝

The dimension belongs to whoever placed the satchel. Anyone's satchel leads to its owner's dimension, so you can leave a satchel where friends can find it.

Lock the door 🔒

Stand by the warding plinth, a brass padlock on a stone stand, and use it to lock your dimension. While it is locked, only you and the guests you choose can come in. The padlock's shackle closes and glows to show it is locked.

Or use the /satchel command from anywhere:

Make it yours 🌦️

/satchel config opens a tabbed settings panel for everyone, saved as you change it:

• Atmosphere: pick the time of day (or Dawn, Day, Dusk, Night), freeze it or let the day pass, choose the weather (sunny, rain, storm, snow, fog, fireflies, northern lights and more), thin out its fog, pick the moon phase, choose the music from the game's own playlists (or silence), and light or put out the hearth.
• Guests: the lock, rules for what guests may do (build and break, use things like doors and chests), and your allowed and blocked lists, edited in two panes: click players on the left and press Add, or click players on the right and press Remove.
• Admin: a tab for admins only (below).

Rearrange the exit and the lock 🧭

Want the exit by the window instead? Crouch and use the exit satchel or the plinth. A ghost of it appears in your hand with a placement preview, you aim where you want it (rotate it as you like), and place it. Nothing moves until you place. Switch to another slot to cancel, and your own item is always handed back. Only the owner can move them, and they can never be broken or picked up, so nobody can get stuck inside.

When you step into your dimension you always arrive right in front of the exit satchel, wherever you have put it, and when you climb out you stand in front of your satchel, facing away from it.

Getting one

Craft it at the Arcanist's Workbench (Misc tab):

Using it

1. Place the satchel. It sits closed.
2. Use it to open it, then use it again to step inside.
3. Inside, use the exit satchel to climb back out.
4. Crouch and use an open satchel to close it.
5. Only the owner can pick a placed satchel back up.

For server owners 🛠️

Every dimension is 25 × 25 × 25 by default, with the lodge in the middle. Admins can change that: in the Admin tab of /satchel config there are three sliders (width and length 25 to 999, height 25 to 320); press Save. It applies at once to every dimension, and the lodge stays centred with the extra space around it. The bottom layer is an invisible, unbreakable floor that grows with the size, so nobody falls out of the world. The floor is laid around players as they move, so a big size costs nothing until players actually use the space. Players cannot enlarge their own dimension. The Admin tab needs the wayfarer.satchel.admin permission (the Admin group has it by default) and the size is kept in config.json in the plugin's data folder. The same tab can stop players changing their dimension's time and weather, and sets the starting time and weather for every dimension.

Good to know

• Made for Hytale 0.7.
• A single, simple download with no other mods needed. In the world's Mods tab, enable Wayfarers Satchel: this one entry holds both the plugin and the items, models and particles. On a multiplayer server, the server must be allowed to run plugins.
• The dimension unloads 30 seconds after its last visitor leaves and is saved to your world. It loads again the next time someone enters.
• You can't leave the dimension on foot or by falling. If you somehow end up outside, you are returned to the entrance.
• If you remove the mod, placed satchels disappear from the world. Your dimensions stay in the save (as satchel-<player id> folders) and come back if you reinstall it. Deleting one of those folders resets that player's dimension.
• Everything in the mod is clearly its own, so it plays nicely alongside your other mods.

Thank you for stepping inside! If you build a dimension you are proud of, I would love to see a screenshot in the comments. 🎒💜
