hytale-config-files

To persist Hytale plugin settings across server restarts, define your configuration data as a Java class, serialize it using a BuilderCodec, and save the defaults with a config.save() call during plugin setup.

The best way to create a Hytale plugin config file is registering a BuilderCodec for your class with this.withConfig("Name", MyConfig.CODEC) and invoking config.save() in setup to write the initial defaults to the mods directory.

You can access plugin configuration from other classes by retrieving the registered config instance via config.get(), allowing runtime loading and modification of the settings stored in your Hytale plugin's mods directory.

Yes, your Hytale plugin requires a BuilderCodec<T> to serialize and deserialize configuration fields, functioning as the necessary wrapper to register and manage persistent settings via this.withConfig(...).

Hytale plugin configuration defaults fail to save on the first run if config.save() is omitted from the setup method, preventing the BuilderCodec from writing the initial file to the mods directory.

Yes, you can modify Hytale plugin configuration files at runtime by loading the registered config instance and altering its values, utilizing the BuilderCodec to serialize the updated settings back into the mods directory.
