Resource Pack Loader (Minecraft compatible)

Dragontale Resource Pack Loader (Minecraft compatible)

Give your Hytale server a new look: blocks, leaves, ores, plants, crops, stairs, creatures, inventory icons and even the sun and moon. The loader reads packs made specifically for it, and it is also compatible with Minecraft resource packs.

This mod contains no Minecraft assets. At server start it reads the Minecraft client jars and resource packs that you provide and builds an asset pack locally. Joining players don't need to install anything; the server sends them the pack like any other. Don't share the generated pack.

Features

• Block textures – grass, dirt, sand, gravel, stone, deepslate, sandstone, all wood types, wool, terracotta, metals, crystals, coral, water and more. Hytale-only materials get a fitting pattern in Hytale's own colour. Hytale's soft ground blending is turned off for crisp block edges.
• Grass with biome tint – the grass top and side overlay, still coloured by Hytale's biomes.
• Leaf cubes – Hytale's leaf balls become cube leaves. Autumn, azure and snowy trees keep their colour on the new leaf pattern.
• Ores – flat ore blocks, with deepslate variants in shale and recoloured spots for Hytale-only metals.
• Plants – grass, ferns, flowers, saplings, mushrooms, bushes, seagrass, coral and vines as crossed sprites.
• Crops – every growth stage as a #-shaped crop.
• Stairs, roofs, beams and fences – Hytale's shapes, painted with the matching block texture.
• Creatures – cow, pig, sheep, chicken, goat, camel, horse, frogs, wolves, fox, polar bear, iron golem, hoglin, spiders, cat, zombie, husk, drowned, skeleton, stray, bogged, parched, wither skeleton and more, including cold and warm variants. With a 26.x client jar, babies get their own models. Hytale's animations keep working.
• Inventory icons – isometric block icons, plus item sprites for tools, weapons, armour, ingots, food and potions.
• Square sun and moon phases

Installation

1. Put the jar into your server's mods/ folder and start the server once.
2. Copy a resource pack (.zip), your Minecraft client jar or an extracted pack folder into mods/Dragontale_MinecraftRetexture/minecraft/.
3. Restart. Done. generated/REPORT.txt shows everything that was replaced.

The pack is only rebuilt when something changes. Works with Assets.zip and extracted asset folders.

Configuration

• config.json – turn each area (blocks, leaves, ores, plants, crops, shapes, mobs, icons, item icons, sky) on or off
• config/*.txt – simple text rules that decide which Hytale block, plant, crop, creature or item gets which texture or model, editable without code

Hytale resource packs & resouce pack management

The mod now loads resource packs out of the "resource_packs" folder in your server root. If the folder doesn't exist it will be created when the server restarts with the mod.

You can use /resourcepack to list and manage applied resource and asset packs, or to dump the currently loaded assets as a resource pack template.

The hytale resource packs will only use files in /assets/hytale and the rest of the pack can be designed to be backwards compatible with your desired Minecraft version, use the paths specified in CUSTOM_TEXTURE.txt (generated on first startup) to overwrite Minecraft assets your pack features that have been automatically mapped with dedicated Hytale ones.
