A real mobile phone in Hytale: messages, group chats, voice calls and a social feed, all inside a screen that opens in the corner of your HUD.

HyPhone gives every player their own phone line, with a number, an address book and an inbox. It is not a chat window in disguise: it is a phone with apps, wallpapers, notifications that peek from the corner while you play, and real voice calls between players. There are two handsets — a full smartphone and a basic keypad phone — and both share the same line, so your number, your contacts and your conversations follow you even if you switch devices.

Two handsets

• Smartphone — full screen with a dock, eight apps, 12 wallpapers and 6 themes for HySocial.
• Basic phone — the classic monochrome green LCD, a keypad menu and only the essentials: messages, groups, contacts and calls.
• Both are craftable items at the workbench: the basic one is far cheaper (4 iron bars + 2 copper) than the modern one (12 iron bars + 6 gold + 4 blue crystals).
• Carrying both? The modern one wins. Carrying only the basic one? Even the notifications that peek from the corner switch to its LCD look.

Messages

• One-to-one conversations with history, unread counts and a sound alert.
• Group chats of up to 8 people, named, and creatable from either handset.
• The creator is in charge: they can rename the group, remove members, promote more admins and disband it. Admins can invite and remove; the creator cannot be touched.
• If the creator leaves, the oldest admin inherits control — a group is never left without anyone to run it.

Voice calls

• Real calls between players using the game's own voice system: you come through clearly even from opposite ends of the map.
• Ringtone, dial tone and a hang-up sound.
• Call log: incoming, outgoing and missed.

HySocial

• A built-in social network with posts, likes, comments and reposts.
• Anonymous posts for anyone who would rather not show their face.
• Everyone deletes their own posts; an admin can delete anything.
• 6 colour themes for the post cards, picked from settings.

Incognito mode

• Hides your identity on calls and on messages: the other end just sees "Número oculto" (hidden number).
• Leave it on in settings, or switch it on for a single call.
• The person on the other end never finds out who it was, but the server console logs it so moderators can act.
• Anything arriving hidden can be rejected automatically.

Contacts

• You cannot call or message someone who is not in your address book: numbers are earned, not guessed.
• Three ways to get a number: type it in if someone gave it to you, scan the players nearby, or look it up in the public directory (everyone chooses whether they are listed).
• A–Z sorted list with the letter on the right-hand edge, on both handsets.
• Blocks, favourites and a do-not-disturb mode.

Getting started

1. Drop the jar into the server's mods folder and restart.
2. Craft a phone (basic or modern), or ask an admin for one.
3. Right-click with the phone in hand — or type /movil abrir.
4. Your number is created the first time you open the phone. Check it with /movil numero.
5. Add someone from Contacts → Add, and you can message or call them.

Want it themed for your server?

The two looks above are just the ones that ship with it. If you are running something with its own identity — a specific era, palette or lore — the handsets can be built to match it: chassis, icons, wallpapers, sounds, extra screens, or wiring the phone into systems you already run.

If that is interesting to you, get in touch and we talk it through.

Notes

• No dependencies. HyPhone needs no other mod.
• No bundled audio. Ringtones reuse base-game sounds: the jar ships zero .ogg files, so it stays small.
• The interface is in Spanish. Item names are translated to Spanish and English; the rest of the UI text is Spanish only.
• Admin features sit behind the hyphone.admin permission.
• Everything is stored as JSON in the mod's data folder (accounts.json, chats/, groups.json, feed.json, calls.json), written atomically: a half-finished server shutdown will not wipe your directory.
• No telemetry. The mod never connects to the internet or sends data anywhere.
