What is hytale-custom-blocks?

A guide for defining new Hytale blocks in a plugin, including their appearance, physical behavior, growth stages, sounds, particles, and interactions.

Use it to add decorative or functional blocks, farmable crops, crafting benches, custom textures, and block states.

It removes the need to work out the block asset format and available settings from scratch.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00059	$0.03905
Opus 5.5	$0.00024	$0.01562
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00012	$0.00781
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00391

Security

Grade A, and why

hytale-custom-blocks scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Creating Custom Hytale Blocks

Complete guide for defining custom block types with all available properties and configurations.

When to use this skill

Use this skill when:

Creating new block types
Configuring block rendering (textures, models)
Setting up block physics (support, bouncy, climbable)
Making blocks farmable with growth stages
Adding crafting benches
Defining block interactions
Setting up block sounds and particles
Managing block states

Block Asset Structure

Blocks are defined as JSON assets in your plugin's asset pack:

my-plugin/
└── assets/
    └── Server/
        └── Content/
            └── BlockTypes/
                ├── my_custom_block.blocktype
                ├── my_crop.blocktype
                └── my_bench.blocktype

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
