HyOptimizer

HyOptimizer 🚀

The Ultimate Toolkit for Console Clarity, Memory Management & Server Metrics

Version: 3.6.2 (Latest Release – Feb 2026)

⚠️ IMPORTANT: BUILD SAFETY & CONFIGURATION

PLEASE READ BEFORE UPDATING: To prevent accidental removal of decorative entities (like Armor Stands or Custom Props), the Item Cleaner is now DISABLED by default (enableItemCleaner: false).

Before enabling it, please:

Check your config: Set removeCustomEntities: false to protect named/custom mobs.

Update Protected Items: Add any specific items to the protectedItems list (do NOT use the hytale: prefix).

Test: Run a manual cleanup /ho clean in a safe area first.

📖 Overview

HyOptimizer is a specialized, high-performance utility designed to eliminate the four primary obstacles to a smooth Hytale server: Console Noise, Memory Leaks, Entity Lag, and Lack of Real-Time Metrics.

By merging surgical log filtration, aggressive RAM recovery, a thread-safe entity cleanup system, and an all-new performance monitor, HyOptimizer ensures your server remains efficient and your logs stay readable. Version 3.6.2 introduces critical safety protocols for builds, a strict permission system, and multi-language support.

✨ Key Features

1. 📊 Real-Time Performance Monitor

Get a comprehensive snapshot of your server’s health with a professional, color-coded chat interface.

• Chat-Based Display: A stable and cross-client compatible alternative to problematic HUDs.

• Dynamic Color Coding:

  • 🔵 Cyan: Headers and category labels.

  • 💛 Gold/Yellow: Memory stats and uptime tracking.

  • ⚪ White: High-contrast data values.

  • 🎨 Status Indicators: Green (Healthy) → Yellow (Moderate) → Red (Critical).

• Streamlined Access: Use /ho for an immediate performance overview.

2. 🛡️ Build-Safe Item Cleaner (Updated v3.6.2)

Maintain high TPS by wiping dropped items without risking server instability or ruining builds.

• Safety First: Disabled by default to prevent accidents.

• Custom Entity Protection: New setting removeCustomEntities: false ensures named mobs and special entities are ignored.

• Smart Whitelist: Protect valuable resources (e.g., "ores", "sword") via the protectedItems list.

• Fail-Safe Architecture: Automatically skips cleanup cycles if the world thread is overloaded.

3. 🧹 Advanced Anti-Spam & Log Filtering

Clean up your console by suppressing the relentless flood of engine-level warnings.

• 26 Active Filters: Native coverage for InteractionChain, Missing interaction, NPC overpopulation, and FileSystemException errors.

• Readable Logs: Intercepts “garbage” protocol hashes and ensures all logs are plain, readable text.

• Regex Flexibility: Add your own custom patterns to config.json to block specific strings.

4. 🔒 Strict Permission System (New)

Security is paramount. Version 3.6.2 implements strict permission nodes for every command, compatible with Hytale’s native permission system.

• Granular Control: Assign specific rights like hyoptimizer.* and hyoptimizer.clean  

• Manifest Registered: Nodes are properly registered for better compatibility with external managers.

5. 🌍 Multi-Language Support

• Built-in Languages: Switch between English ("en") and Spanish ("es") instantly in the config.

• Extensible: Easy to add more languages via the Messages system.

📥 Installation Guide

Stop your Hytale Server.

Clean Install: Delete any old HyOptimizer.jar and the mods/HyOptimizer folder to ensure a clean v3.6.2 environment.

Deploy: Place the new HyOptimizer-3.6.2.jar into your mods folder.

Launch: Restart your server.

🆕 New in v3.6.2

• 🛡️ Build Safety: Item cleaner disabled by default; added removeCustomEntities toggle.

• 🐛 Fix: protectedItems now works correctly (removed requirement for prefixes).

• 🔒 Permissions: Added strict permission nodes (hyoptimizer.*) and manifest registration.

• 🌍 Languages: Added native Spanish support ("language": "es").

• ☕ Compatibility: Fixed Java 21 UnsupportedClassVersionError issues.

❓ Why Choose HyOptimizer?

The Hytale Early Access environment is naturally “loud”—it logs every minor detail and consumes RAM aggressively. This makes it hard to identify actual game-breaking errors. HyOptimizer silences the noise and manages the bloat, letting you focus on your community while we handle the engine’s “mess” in the background.
