hytale-logging

Structured logging for a Hytale server plugin is added by creating a class-scoped logger with HytaleLogger.forEnclosingClass() and calling atInfo, atWarning, or atSevere to write consistent messages to the server log.

Printf-style formatting is supported by the HytaleLogger API for lazy evaluation, allowing you to pass format strings and arguments directly into atInfo, atWarning, and atSevere methods during plugin development.

To log exceptions with stack traces in a Hytale plugin, use the withCause() method to attach the exception to your log entry, capturing the full stack trace for diagnostic purposes alongside your atWarning or atSevere messages.

The best way to capture in-game actions and startup events is using a unified HytaleLogger, applying consistent formatting and log levels to track server behaviors and error conditions throughout the plugin lifecycle.

No external dependencies are required to implement this logging strategy, as the Skill relies solely on the HytaleLogger API to provide structured, reliable logging capabilities directly within your server plugin environment.

Hytale server logs are often difficult to interpret because plugins lack a consistent logging strategy, which this Skill solves by providing a unified logger with structured messages, specific log levels, and exception stack traces.
