GlymeraMath - 77 Mathematical Structures for Hytale
Spawn any of 77 hand-crafted mathematical or organic structures into your world with a single command. Cubes, spheres, pyramids, domes, platonic and Kepler-Poinsot star polyhedra, fractals, minimal surfaces, knots, hearts — all exposed as one clean command with sensible parameters.
Most actual version only working for Hytale stable 5 !
What is GlymeraMath?
GlymeraMath adds a single command, /gmath, which lets you drop mathematical structures directly at your feet. Every shape is written in pure Java, ships with the plugin, and uses existing Hytale blocks as the material — no asset pack, no client mod, no prefab files on disk.
Every shape exposes simple parameters (size, height, hollow, material, plus shape-specific tweaks) so you can iterate quickly. Spawn, look, /gmath undo, change a value, spawn again.
Quick Start
/gmath list — browse all shapes, grouped by category
/gmath info <n> — show parameters + defaults for a shape
/gmath spawn <n> [k=v ...] — place the shape at your current position
/gmath cancel — abort a running streamed spawn (and roll it back)
/gmath undo — remove the last spawn
Examples:
/gmath spawn sphere size=30 hollow=true material=Rock_Marble
/gmath spawn mandelbulb size=45 material=Rock_Slate
/gmath spawn torus majorRadius=20 minorRadius=6 material=Rock_Basalt
Commands
/gmath list [filter] — List all 77 shapes, optionally filtered by category or name substring
/gmath categories — List the 13 categories and how many shapes each has
/gmath info <n> — Show parameters + defaults + default material of a shape
/gmath spawn <n> [k=v ...] — Place the shape centred on your position
/gmath confirm — Confirm a large spawn that triggered the warn threshold
/gmath cancel — Abort a running streamed spawn and roll back all blocks already placed
/gmath undo — Restore the terrain from your last spawn
/gmath reload — Re-read config.json after editing (OP only, no server restart)
"Allowed player" = OP by default, or everyone if allowNonOps is set to true in the config.
Installation
1. Drop GlymeraMath-3.0.0.jar into your server's mods/ folder.
2. Start (or restart) the server.
3. Done. No asset pack, no second file needed.
On first start the plugin writes plugins/GlymeraMath/config.json with sensible defaults.
Configuration
All settings live in plugins/GlymeraMath/config.json:
Edit the file while the server is running, then run /gmath reload.
Safety Limits
Three tiers prevent accidental million-block disasters:
1. Below warnAtBlocks (default 100,000) — spawns immediately, no interaction.
2. Between warnAtBlocks and maxBlocks — the plugin prints "This shape would place X blocks. Type /gmath confirm within 30 seconds to spawn it." The spawn is held per player; any other command or a timeout cancels it.
3. Above maxBlocks (default 300,000) — spawn refused with a message naming the config key an admin can raise.
Placement itself is additionally gated by batchThreshold (default 10,000):
/gmath cancel aborts a running streamed spawn and rolls back every block already placed, leaving the terrain as if the spawn never happened.
Copy & Paste Examples — just change the values
Every example below spawns a reasonable default. Copy the line, paste it, tweak any parameter, and spawn again. All examples use Rock_Marble as the material — swap it for any Hytale block you like (Rock_Basalt, Rock_Sandstone, Plant_Coral_Block_Pink, Metal_Gold, Soil_Grass, and many more).

Good to Know
Performance
Each spawn runs the math on the server thread, then places blocks via the standard Hytale ChunkStore API. Generation for typical shapes is a few milliseconds to ~100 ms (mandelbulb / large-size shapes).
Block placement has two modes:
Undo is O(block count) and uses the stored per-block snapshot.
Made with care by Glymera for the Hytale community
Spawn any of 77 hand-crafted mathematical or organic structures into your world with a single command. Cubes, spheres, pyramids, domes, platonic and Kepler-Poinsot star polyhedra, fractals, minimal surfaces, knots, hearts — all exposed as one clean command with sensible parameters.
Most actual version only working for Hytale stable 5 !
What is GlymeraMath?
GlymeraMath adds a single command, /gmath, which lets you drop mathematical structures directly at your feet. Every shape is written in pure Java, ships with the plugin, and uses existing Hytale blocks as the material — no asset pack, no client mod, no prefab files on disk.
Every shape exposes simple parameters (size, height, hollow, material, plus shape-specific tweaks) so you can iterate quickly. Spawn, look, /gmath undo, change a value, spawn again.
- 77 shapes in 13 categories
- Parametric — tweak size, density, thickness, number of sides, etc.
- Hollow toggle on every solid shape — perfect for turning a dome into a roof, a cube into a room
- Undo per player — one spawn history per player, any /gmath undo restores the overwritten terrain
- Streamed placement for huge spawns — spawns above a configurable threshold are placed in batches across server ticks, so the server stays responsive even for multi-million-block structures. Cancel any running spawn with /gmath cancel (rolls back everything already placed).
- Server-side only — players use their normal Hytale client
- Configurable permissions — OP only, or open to every player
- Soft + hard block limits — a warning step prevents accidental mega-spawns
Quick Start
/gmath list — browse all shapes, grouped by category
/gmath info <n> — show parameters + defaults for a shape
/gmath spawn <n> [k=v ...] — place the shape at your current position
/gmath cancel — abort a running streamed spawn (and roll it back)
/gmath undo — remove the last spawn
Examples:
/gmath spawn sphere size=30 hollow=true material=Rock_Marble
/gmath spawn mandelbulb size=45 material=Rock_Slate
/gmath spawn torus majorRadius=20 minorRadius=6 material=Rock_Basalt
Commands
/gmath list [filter] — List all 77 shapes, optionally filtered by category or name substring
/gmath categories — List the 13 categories and how many shapes each has
/gmath info <n> — Show parameters + defaults + default material of a shape
/gmath spawn <n> [k=v ...] — Place the shape centred on your position
/gmath confirm — Confirm a large spawn that triggered the warn threshold
/gmath cancel — Abort a running streamed spawn and roll back all blocks already placed
/gmath undo — Restore the terrain from your last spawn
/gmath reload — Re-read config.json after editing (OP only, no server restart)
"Allowed player" = OP by default, or everyone if allowNonOps is set to true in the config.
Installation
1. Drop GlymeraMath-3.0.0.jar into your server's mods/ folder.
2. Start (or restart) the server.
3. Done. No asset pack, no second file needed.
On first start the plugin writes plugins/GlymeraMath/config.json with sensible defaults.
Configuration
All settings live in plugins/GlymeraMath/config.json:
- allowNonOps (default: false) — Only OPs can use /gmath. Set to true for every player.
- warnAtBlocks (default: 100000) — Spawns above this block count require confirmation via /gmath confirm.
- maxBlocks (default: 300000) — Hard limit. Spawns above this are refused with a message pointing at this config.
- confirmTimeoutSeconds (default: 30) — How long a pending confirm is remembered before it expires.
- batchThreshold (default: 10000) — Spawns above this block count are streamed in batches across ticks instead of placed all at once. Below this threshold the spawn is applied synchronously like before.
- batchSize (default: 2500) — Blocks placed per batch (one batch per tick). A good compromise between throughput and server smoothness at 20 TPS. Lower = smoother but slower; higher = faster but more micro-lag.
- batchIntervalMs (default: 50) — Milliseconds between batches. 50 = one batch per server tick. Raise to 100 (every 2 ticks) to let other work catch up between batches. Minimum 10.
Edit the file while the server is running, then run /gmath reload.
Safety Limits
Three tiers prevent accidental million-block disasters:
1. Below warnAtBlocks (default 100,000) — spawns immediately, no interaction.
2. Between warnAtBlocks and maxBlocks — the plugin prints "This shape would place X blocks. Type /gmath confirm within 30 seconds to spawn it." The spawn is held per player; any other command or a timeout cancels it.
3. Above maxBlocks (default 300,000) — spawn refused with a message naming the config key an admin can raise.
Placement itself is additionally gated by batchThreshold (default 10,000):
- Below the threshold — blocks are placed synchronously in a single operation, same as in earlier versions.
- Above the threshold — the spawn is streamed in batches across server ticks. The player gets progress messages at 25%, 50%, 75% and a "Done" line at 100%. Only one streamed spawn per player at a time — a second /gmath spawn is rejected with a hint to call /gmath cancel first.
/gmath cancel aborts a running streamed spawn and rolls back every block already placed, leaving the terrain as if the spawn never happened.
Copy & Paste Examples — just change the values
Every example below spawns a reasonable default. Copy the line, paste it, tweak any parameter, and spawn again. All examples use Rock_Marble as the material — swap it for any Hytale block you like (Rock_Basalt, Rock_Sandstone, Plant_Coral_Block_Pink, Metal_Gold, Soil_Grass, and many more).

- hollow=true|false — keep only the outer shell (solid shapes only)

Good to Know
- All 77 shapes ship inside the ~142 KB JAR. No asset pack, no external data.
- Every spawn is reversible. /gmath undo restores the terrain that was overwritten. Only the latest spawn per player is kept. Streamed spawns also record their snapshot while placing, so undo works on them too.
- Shapes centre on the player. Where you stand becomes approximately (0, 0, 0) of the shape's local frame, with the shape's ground level at your feet.
- Parameter order doesn't matter. /gmath spawn cube material=Rock_Basalt size=10 and /gmath spawn cube size=10 material=Rock_Basalt are identical.
- Unknown parameters are silently ignored. Useful for copy-paste — if a parameter doesn't apply to the shape you use, it's just dropped.
- Hollow works universally. The plugin applies a generic voxel-peel after the shape has been generated (remove every voxel that has 6 face-neighbours), so hollow=true works on every solid shape, even those we didn't specifically design around it.
- Quiet runtime. The plugin does not log on spawn, undo or config changes — no clutter in your server log. Progress messages for streamed spawns are sent only to the spawning player, not the global chat.
Performance
Each spawn runs the math on the server thread, then places blocks via the standard Hytale ChunkStore API. Generation for typical shapes is a few milliseconds to ~100 ms (mandelbulb / large-size shapes).
Block placement has two modes:
- Synchronous (below batchThreshold, default 10,000): placed in one go, same as earlier versions. Linear in block count, uses Hytale's cached chunk accessors.
- Streamed (at or above batchThreshold): placed in batchSize chunks per tick, scheduled on HytaleServer.SCHEDULED_EXECUTOR. A Level-5 Menger sponge (3.2 M blocks) at the default 2,500 blocks per 50 ms takes ~64 seconds to complete while the server stays responsive for other players.
Undo is O(block count) and uses the stored per-block snapshot.
