Mounts+

# Mounts+

Support Server – https://discord.gg/DRxwt8Qg2W

A rideable mounts system for Hytale servers with configurable mount types, storage, and spawn mechanics. Players can obtain mounts through admin commands or by finding mount eggs in mob drops. Mounts can be ridden using Hytale's native mounting system and include features like storage, health management, and respawn cooldowns.

Server-only plugin. Singleplayer is not supported and no support will be provided for it.

Assets.zip issue: Mounts+ requires extracted assets. Running the game from assets.zip will corrupt the file and prevent the mod from loading.

Fix: Extract assets.zip → make sure the game uses the Assets folder → reinstall Mounts+. (Optional: delete assets.zip after extraction.)

Egg Generation: By default, Mounts+ generates egg item files in `Assets/Server/Item/Items/`. If you don't want these files created automatically, set `"generateEggItems": false` in config.json.

Description

Mounts+ gives players rideable mounts that can be spawned, ridden, and stored. Any entity in Hytale can be added as a mount, from standard animals like horses and wolves to large or custom entities such as dragons and T-Rexes, all defined through configuration. Players can mount their active mount using Hytale's native mounting system (default key: F). Mounts stay stationary when not ridden and despawn if the player moves more than 15 blocks away.

Each mount type can be configured with spawn offset (distance from owner when spawned), mount Y offset (vertical seat position), storage size (0-54 slots), base health, invulnerability toggle, and respawn cooldown. Mounts can be obtained in two ways: admins can grant them directly via commands/UI, or players can find mount eggs as drops from specific mobs (configured via loot tables). When a player obtains an egg, they simply hold it and use `/mounts redeem` to add the mount to their collection.

Admins define mount types (any entity: Horse, Wolf_Black, Bear_Polar, Rex_Cave, Dragon_Frost, etc.), assign rarities, control spawn behavior, and configure which mobs drop mount eggs. Players manage mounts via a custom UI: spawn/despawn, rename, view mount details, access mount storage, and transfer mounts to other players.

Player UI - Mount list – View mounts, spawn/despawn, rename, see mount details - Mount storage – Access mount inventory when mounted (if storage size > 0) - Mount transfer – Give a mount to another player (if enabled in config) - Mount details – View mount type, rarity, and configuration info

Admin - Admin UI &ndash; Enter player name, select mount by config key, add mounts with one click - Admin command &ndash; `/mounts add <player> <mount_type>` (requires mounts.admin) - `/mounts create` &ndash; Admin-only command and UI to create and edit mount types (config key, entity type, display name, rarity, spawn offset, mount Y offset, storage size, base health, invulnerability, respawn cooldown, and permissions) - Loot table integration &ndash; Add mount eggs to any mob's loot table for players to find - Config &ndash; mountEntities, usePerMountPermissions, allowTransfer, generateEggItems

Spawn & Mounting (per mount type) - Spawn offset &ndash; Distance from owner when mount is spawned (e.g. 3.0 for large mounts like T-Rex) - Mount Y offset &ndash; Vertical offset for rider seat position (e.g. 2.5 for T-Rex, 3.2 for dragons) - Default scale &ndash; Base scale for the mount model (1.0 = normal size) - Storage size &ndash; Number of inventory slots (0, 9, 18, 27, 54) - Base health &ndash; Starting health for the mount entity - Invulnerable &ndash; Toggle to make mount immune to damage - Respawn cooldown &ndash; Seconds before mount can be respawned after death

Technical - Stationary mounts &ndash; Mounts do not follow; they stay in place and despawn if player moves >15 blocks away - Dynamic Y offset &ndash; Mount Y offset is enforced via system to override static JSON values - Transaction-based inventory &ndash; Proper item handling using Hytale's inventory API - Mount lifecycle management &ndash; Automatic despawn on distance, respawn cooldown tracking

Adding Mount Eggs to Mob Drops

Admins can configure mobs to drop mount eggs by editing entity loot tables. Each mount type automatically generates an egg item with ID: `Egg_MountsPlus_<MountType>`

**Step 1: Locate the Entity's Loot Table** - Navigate to your server's assets directory - Find the entity's loot table file in `Assets\Server\Drops\NPCs\` - The file name typically matches the entity name (e.g. `Wolf.json`, `Bear_Polar.json`)

**Step 2: Add the Egg to Loot Containers**

The loot table uses a Container structure. Add a new Choice container for the mount egg.

Example: Adding a Wolf mount egg to Wolf mob drops:

```json { "Container": { "Type": "Multiple", "Containers": [ { "Type": "Choice", "Weight": 100, "Containers": [ { "Type": "Single", "Item": { "ItemId": "Food_Wildmeat_Raw", "QuantityMin": 1, "QuantityMax": 1 } } ] }, { "Type": "Choice", "Weight": 50, "Containers": [ { "Type": "Single", "Item": { "ItemId": "Egg_MountsPlus_Wolf", "QuantityMin": 1, "QuantityMax": 1 } } ] } ] } } ```

**Step 3: Configure Drop Rates**

Each Choice container has a Weight. Drop chance is calculated as: `(Container Weight) / (Total Weight of All Containers) &times; 100%`

Recommended weights: - **Common Mounts**: Weight 50-100 (higher chance) - **Uncommon Mounts**: Weight 25-50 (medium chance) - **Rare Mounts**: Weight 10-25 (lower chance) - **Epic/Legendary Mounts**: Weight 5-10 (very low chance)

**Step 4: Restart Server** - Loot table changes require a server restart - Test by killing the mob and checking for egg drops

**Step 5: Players Redeem Eggs** - Players hold the egg in their hand - Run `/mounts redeem` to add the mount to their collection - The egg is consumed and the mount is added

**Complete Example with Multiple Items:**

```json { "Container": { "Type": "Multiple", "Containers": [ { "Type": "Choice", "Weight": 100, "Containers": [ { "Type": "Single", "Item": { "ItemId": "Food_Wildmeat_Raw", "QuantityMin": 1, "QuantityMax": 1 } } ] }, { "Type": "Choice", "Weight": 100, "Containers": [ { "Type": "Single", "Item": { "ItemId": "Ingredient_Hide_Medium", "QuantityMin": 1, "QuantityMax": 2 } } ] }, { "Type": "Choice", "Weight": 50, "Containers": [ { "Type": "Single", "Item": { "ItemId": "Egg_MountsPlus_Wolf", "QuantityMin": 1, "QuantityMax": 1 } } ] } ] } } ```

In this example: - Raw Wildmeat: 100/250 = 40% drop chance - Medium Hide: 100/250 = 40% drop chance - Wolf Mount Egg: 50/250 = 20% drop chance

**Available Egg Items:** All egg items are automatically generated based on your `config.json` mount types: - Format: `Egg_MountsPlus_<MountType>` - Example: `Egg_MountsPlus_Wolf`, `Egg_MountsPlus_Bear_Polar`, `Egg_MountsPlus_Rex_Cave`, `Egg_MountsPlus_Dragon_Frost` - Location: `Server/Item/Items/Egg_MountsPlus_<MountType>.json`
