GlymeraDogs - Dogs and Corgis as Loyal Companions

Finally, dogs in Hytale. Craft a Dog Spawner Block, place it, and get a random dog or corgi as your loyal companion. Feed them, pet them, and watch them defend you in battle. 20 color varieties with warm, natural fur tones and colorful scarves for the corgis.

Most actual version only working for Hytale stable 5 !

What is GlymeraDogs?

Hytale has complete dog and corgi models sitting unused in its base assets. GlymeraDogs activates them as real pets: they follow you, defend you, bark at strangers, whine when hurt, and fight for you with real damage. Every dog has a unique name and one of 10 coat colors. Every corgi additionally wears a colored scarf from 10 available shades.

How to Get a Dog

1. Kill mobs to collect Life Essence and craft Concentrated Life Essence at the Farmingbench (100:1 ratio).
2. Craft a Dog Spawner Block at the Alchemybench under "Alchemy_Potions_Misc": 1x Bone FullBlock + 1x Ingredient Life Essence Concentrated
3. Place the block wherever you want your dog to appear.
4. A random Dog or Corgi spawns on the block with a random coat, random scarf (for corgis), and a random name. You are the owner.
5. Manage them with /gdog (opens the UI page).

OP players can also spawn dogs directly with /gdog spawn dog, /gdog spawn corgi, or /gdog spawnpick <type> <variant> to target a specific coat.

Color Variants

Dogs (10 coats)
Brown, Chestnut, Tawny, Golden, LightBrown, Amber, Reddish, DarkBrown, Mahogany, Rusty

Corgis (10 coat + scarf pairs)
Golden_Red, Wheaten_Blue, Red_Yellow, Tan_Green, Sable_Orange, Fawn_Pink, Mahogany_White, Caramel_Black, Tricolor_Purple, Chocolate_Turquoise

All coats are warm and natural — no harsh grey or monochrome looks. Use /gdog preview (OP) to spawn all 20 variants in a circle for comparison.

Combat System

Your dogs defend you and themselves:

• You get hit — All active dogs growl and attack your attacker
• Dog gets hit by a mob — That dog fights back
• Dog is in range of target — Real melee damage per bite (Dog 20, Corgi 15)
• Dog HP drops below 20% — Whine sound (once per minute per dog)

Dogs bark constantly during combat (every 3s) and bark once when a stranger enters their 8-block awareness radius.

Commands

/gdog — Open the dog management UI
/gdog list — List your dogs with status
/gdog come — Teleport all active dogs to you

Management UI

Type /gdog to open a visual page showing all your dogs as cards. Each card shows name, type, coat, and status:

• Green "ACTIVE" — spawned and following
• Yellow "DISMISSED" — offline, ready to call
• Red "RESPAWN in Xs" — on death cooldown

Each card has buttons: Come, Call / Dismiss, Release. OPs see additional top bar buttons to spawn new dogs directly.

Interacting with Your Dog

Left-click with empty hand = Pet the dog — heart particles + happy bark sound.

Left-click with Raw Meat = Feed the dog — +200 HP, consumes 1 meat, heart particles. Supported meats: Pork, Beef, Chicken, Fish, Venison, Mutton, Rabbit (all raw).

Dogs never hurt their owners — you cannot damage your own dog by accident.

Features

• 10 Dog coats x 10 Corgi coat+scarf pairs — 20 distinct looks via RandomAttachmentSets

Good to Know

• Dogs are despawned when you disconnect and respawned when you rejoin (with a 2s delay, up to maxDogsActive)
• Dogs do not attack other players — they only target hostile NPCs/mobs
• Hitting your own dog does nothing (owner attacks are cancelled)
• Block placement is the normal way for players to get dogs. Direct spawn commands are OP-only
• Dismissed dogs stay in your roster — use Call to bring them back any time (subject to maxDogsActive)
• Corgis have two random attachment sets: coat and scarf. The preview pairs them 1-to-1, but internally they are independent
• Uses Hytale's native Dog and Corgi base models with new textures generated via HSV shift
• All dog data is stored as JSON files per player in the plugin data directory

Installation

1. Place GlymeraDogs.jar in your server's mods/ folder
2. Start (or restart) the server
3. Done! No external folders needed — everything is embedded in the JAR.
