Installation

1. Download the latest groupmanager.jar file.
2. Place it inside the mods/ folder of your Hytale server.
3. Start (or restart) the server.

On first launch, GroupManager will automatically:

• Create the mods/groupmanager/ folder with default configuration.
• Generate translation files (en-US.json, es-PY.json, pt-BR.json) in the lang/ directory.
• Load default configuration values.

Optional Dependencies

GroupManager works standalone, but integrates with the following plugins when available:

Plugin	Purpose
AutoMultiHud	Multi-HUD provider for displaying group status alongside other HUDs (by Buuz135)
MultipleHUD	Alternative multi-HUD provider
SimpleClaims	Land claim system — group members are automatically synced as allies (by Buuz135)

These are detected at startup. If no external HUD plugin is found, GroupManager uses its own InternalMultiHud system — the HUD works out of the box without any additional plugins.

File Structure

After the first run, your server will have:

mods/
  groupmanager.jar
  groupmanager/
    config.json              ← Main configuration file
    lang/
      en-US.json             ← English (US) translations
      es-PY.json             ← Spanish (Paraguay) translations
      pt-BR.json             ← Portuguese (Brazil) translations
    data/
      groups.json            ← Persisted group data (auto-created)
