1
Player: hold the glider
Put the glider item in your hand.
Quick start
Players and admins can get started in minutes.
2
Player: fall from height
While falling, HyChute opens it automatically (no clicks).
3
Admin: install the .jar
Upload hychute-0.1.0.jar into mods/ and restart the server.
4
Verify auto-install
Confirm mods/Local_HyChute/ exists with the manifest and item files.
Tip: HyChute runs silently (no chat spam).
Features
What HyChute includes.
Auto-glider
Automatically opens the glider while falling and holding it.
Auto-install
Installs the item and recipe without manual asset copying.
Silent
No chat spam; works in the background.
Server-side
Made for servers, compatible with Linux/Oracle where manual asset copying often fails.
How it works
A practical technical overview.
Fall detection
Checks vertical velocity and falls back to player states if needed.
ECS tick system
Uses an ECS tick system to evaluate player state every tick and trigger the glider.
Asset extraction
On startup it extracts a Local_HyChute folder and registers the pack so the item/recipe becomes available.
Cooldowns
Includes cooldowns to keep it stable under lag and avoid repeated triggers.
File structure
Example after the first server run.
Expected:
mods/
hychute-0.1.0.jar
Local_HyChute/
manifest.json
Server/
Item/
Items/
Glider/
Actual_Glider.json
Troubleshooting
Check these items first.
Glider won't auto-activate
Make sure you're holding the correct item and fall far enough (velocity threshold).
Item/recipe missing
Verify mods/Local_HyChute/ exists. If it exists and still doesn't show, try one extra restart.
Files not created
Confirm file permissions and that the correct jar was deployed to the server.
Check logs
Look at server startup logs for HyChute setup and extraction messages.
