Hytale Mod Initializer

Run the initializer

1. Open the folder where you want the mod generated (or choose a target folder when prompted).
2. Command Palette (ctrl + shift + P / CMD + shift + P) → Initialize Hytale Mod.
3. Fill the prompts:
   • Group ID (org) (e.g., dev.example)
   • Mod name (artifactId)
   • Java package name (defaults to groupId.modname)
   • Main class name
   • Author name / email / URL (optional email/URL)
   • Description
4. Wait for the download/extract/apply steps to finish; you’ll see a success notification with the target path.

What it generates

• Downloads the Hytale plugin template, extracts it, and rewrites package paths, class names, pom.xml, and manifest.json based on your inputs.
• Produces a ready-to-build Java plugin project in the selected target folder.

Troubleshooting

• If download fails: ensure internet access; the template URL is https://codeload.github.com/HytaleModding/plugin-template/zip/refs/heads/main.
• If the command is missing: reinstall the VSIX and reload VS Code.
• If rename errors occur on Windows paths: ensure the target folder is empty or new; then rerun.
