Unified Workbench

Unified Workbench

A master crafting station for Hytale that combines all specialized workbenches into one convenient interface.

Overview

The Unified Workbench mod simplifies your crafting experience by consolidating recipes from various specialized benches into a single station. No more running between different benches to craft your gear, food, or tools!

Key Features

Centralized Crafting: Access all recipes from a single Unified Workbench.

Automatic Recipe Injection: Automatically pulls recipes from: Weapon & Armor Benches

Alchemy & Cooking Benches

Loom, Tannery, and Armory

Furnace and Builders Bench

Chest Linking: Link with adjacent chests to craft using materials directly from storage.

Tier System Support: Full compatibility with Hytale's tier system (Level 2+ workbench recipes work correctly).

Organized Categories: Recipes are intuitively grouped into categories like Combat, Industry, Agriculture, and Magic for easy navigation.

Welcome Messages: Greets players on join with a thank you message and mod detection summary.

Compatibility: Built for Hytale Server 1.0-SNAPSHOT.

Crafting the Bench

You can craft the Unified Workbench at a standard Wooden Workbench under the Crafting tab.

Materials:

6× Any Tree Log

4× Rock

2× Iron Ingot

Mod Integration

The Unified Workbench automatically detects recipes from other installed mods!

Smart Sorting: Automatically places items from supported mods (Macaw's, Stoneworks, Violets, NoCube, etc.) into the correct "Industry", "Tools", or "Furniture" tabs.

Unsorted Tab: A dedicated "Unsorted" tab appears as a catch-all for any mod recipes that don't fit into standard categories.

Auto-Detection: External mods are detected by known author prefixes at runtime

Join Notifications: Players see a summary of detected mods and recipe counts on join

No Hard Dependencies: Works without any mod needing to explicitly support Unified Workbench

Safe & Read-Only: Never modifies or overwrites external mod recipes

Known Issues

Unsorted Tab Click Area: The Unsorted tab icon can be a little hard to click due to Hytale's base UI overlay. If you have trouble selecting it, try clicking slightly to the left of the icon.
