FAQPage Schema
How do I persist Hytale player data across server sessions?▼

You can persist complex data structures in Hytale by defining custom components with BuilderCodec. This system uses Hytale's Codec for BSON serialization, ensuring game state and player progress are maintained across sessions.

How does BSON serialization work with the Hytale Codec system?▼

Hytale's Codec system handles BSON serialization by encoding primitive types, collections, and custom objects. It transforms complex component data structures into a format suitable for reliable storage and retrieval.

What is the difference between temporary and persistent data storage in Hytale?▼

Temporary data uses addComponent, while persistent data uses putComponent. Using putComponent ensures custom entity data is saved across server sessions via Hytale's Codec serialization.

Can I serialize custom collections and primitive types in Hytale entities?▼

Yes, you can serialize custom collections and primitive types in Hytale entities. Hytale's Codec system supports complex data structures, custom objects, and primitive types for persistent storage.

Do I need BuilderCodec to register custom components in Hytale?▼

Yes, you need BuilderCodec to define and register custom components for session persistence. Registering components within the plugin's setup method enables storage and retrieval of persistent player and entity data.
