What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the creation, management, and persistence of configuration files for Hytale plugins, ensuring settings are saved and loaded correctly across server restarts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Persistent Settings: Define and save plugin configurations that survive server restarts using Config<T>.
  • Serialization: Utilize BuilderCodec and KeyedCodec to define how configuration data is serialized and deserialized.
  • Use Case: When developing a Hytale plugin, use this Skill to define settings like player-specific data storage, game mode parameters, or server-wide options that need to be easily configurable and persistent.

Quick Start

Use the hytale-config-files skill to create a new configuration class named 'MyConfig' with an integer field 'ExampleValue' and a string field 'ExampleString'.

FAQPage Schema
How do I save persistent plugin settings for Hytale using Java?

You can save persistent plugin settings for Hytale using Java by defining serializable configuration classes. This approach ensures your plugin settings survive server restarts by loading and saving data correctly across sessions.

How do I serialize configuration data for a Hytale plugin in Java?

To serialize configuration data for a Hytale plugin in Java, you utilize specific codecs to define how data is serialized and deserialized. This process ensures your configuration data maintains its structure during load and save operations.

What is the best way to define serializable config options for a Hytale plugin?

The best way to define serializable config options for a Hytale plugin is by creating dedicated configuration classes. This allows you to easily configure server-wide options, game mode parameters, or player-specific data storage.

Can I access plugin configuration from other classes in my Hytale Java project?

Yes, you can access plugin configuration from other classes in your Hytale Java project. By defining your configuration with the appropriate generic configuration types, other classes can retrieve and modify the loaded settings.

Do I need Java to create persistent configuration files for Hytale plugins?

Yes, you need Java to create persistent configuration files for Hytale plugins. The configuration management process relies on Java to define, load, and save the serializable settings required for your plugin.

Why are my Hytale plugin configurations not loading after a server restart?

If your Hytale plugin configurations are not loading after a server restart, your configuration classes may lack proper serialization definitions. Implementing the correct codecs ensures settings are saved and loaded correctly across restarts.
