UtilityBiome:Version History

1.0.0 (2026-10-12)

The first stable release. Utility Biome now requires Hytale 0.7.0 (server >=0.7.0 <0.8.0). Hytale 0.6.x is no longer supported.

• Commands under /ub: where, list, census, next, caves, cave, features and feature. See Commands.
• Optional biome census at server start with a map image. See Biome Census.
• Runtime API for other mods: chunk features on newly generated chunks, biome lookup, and structures from text blueprints with site search, random rotation and foundation.
• Build-time tools: biome generator, cave, ore, resource and spawn specs, asset validator and vanilla index.
• Gradle plugin with the tasks generateBiomes, checkGeneratedAssets, validateAssets, devAssetPack and freshWorld.
• Updated for the Hytale 0.7.0 server: chunk features read and write blocks through the new chunk sections, /ub next reads the new heightmap, and /ub cave has its own cave search because Hytale 0.7.0 removed the vanilla one.
• /ub cave no longer teleports you if the cave start lies outside the world (below y 2 or above y 318).
• Vanilla index for Hytale 0.7.0.

Before 1.0.0

Earlier alpha builds (0.1.0-Alpha) targeted Hytale 0.6.8 (server >=0.6.8 <0.7.0).

Not yet released

These changes are already in the source code but not in a released version. They will be part of the next release:

• Chests and other containers in blueprints can be filled from a drop list when the chunk first loads, like vanilla structures (ChunkAccess.setContainer, Blueprint.Builder.loot).
• Fences, walls and bars in blueprints get their shape (straight, corner, T, cross) and rotation from their neighbours, also after rotating the blueprint (Connected, Blueprint.Builder.connected).
• Blueprint.rotated also turns a Yaw= rotation in block keys.
• Blocks placed by chunk features get their block entity. Before, a chest placed by a feature had no storage, and crops did not grow.
• API version 0.7.0-Alpha.
