OptimusLink 0.4.0 — Hytale 0.7
Hytale support: >=0.7.3 <0.8.0. Channel: Release.
Optimium and Range Extenders
- Find small Optimium veins in newly generated underground stone. Mine Raw Optimium and smelt it in a normal Furnace, one raw material to one ingot.
- Craft Range Extenders at the Optimus Assembly Dock with 6 Optimium Ingots, 4 Iron Ingots and 4 Copper Ingots.
- Link one or more Fleet Remotes by placing the actual remote in the mast’s linking slot, waiting six seconds and retrieving it.
- Extend fleet coverage with a 128-block radius around each mast. Masts linked to the same remote relay through one another.
- Reach original robots beyond the usual loading distance while your body and robot are covered by a connected network. The handset shows Connecting while a covered robot loads and Out of range when no usable route exists.
- Show a taller signal mast with an angled computer, a native-style linking panel, all 36 storage slots and the hotbar visible together.
- Display steady luminous cyan connection arcs and lighting around linked masts, without flashing sky particles. Curve height scales with mast distance.
Compatibility and upgrading
Requires Java 25 and declares Hytale >=0.7.3 <0.8.0; built against 0.7.3 and checked in native 0.7.4 gameplay. The CurseForge 0.7 tag groups this compatibility family and does not mean every patch was tested.
Save and back up the matching world and player data before upgrading. Replace the old Optimus Link JAR while the game or server is stopped. The JAR includes the resource pack. Existing explored terrain is preserved; find Optimium in newly generated chunks of the normal overworld.
This is a pre-1.0 project published in the Release channel. Native singleplayer playtesting covers the new ore, smelting, mast pairing, relay control, visuals and normal reload. Actual second-client multiplayer and some sound/animation cases remain under evaluation.

Fleet Handset overhaul
- Scroll through linked robots, search by name and sort by nearest distance, farthest distance or name.
- See each robot's appearance, availability and distance. Unavailable robots stay visible with editing and control disabled.
- Open a portrait's pencil to rename the robot, preview one of six colours or unlink it with confirmation.
- Save names and colours together, or close the editor to discard a draft. Saved appearances stay with the same robot and inventory through normal reload.
- Updated native interface with a large robot bust, selected-row and colour markers, readable controls and Hytale's native escape control.
- Updated the player guide and current native UI screenshots.
Hytale support: >=0.7.3 <0.8.0; built with the 0.7.3 SDK and checked natively on 0.7.4. Java 25. Choose a file whose manifest requirements include your game patch.
This remains a pre-1.0 mod in active development. Back up the matching world, player data and mod JAR before upgrading. Some animation transitions, sound listening and actual second-client play remain under review. Control remains limited to 128 blocks; autonomy and charging are not included.

First release on this Hytale support line.
Optimus Link 0.2.0-dev
Optimus Link adds craftable humanoid robot fleets to Hytale. Deploy robots, link several to one Fleet Remote and control one at a time with its own equipment and storage.
- Craft the Assembly Dock, Fleet Remote and deployment units.
- Walk, look, jump, mine, place blocks and use chests through a controlled robot.
- Select the protected Release Control button in slot 1 to return. It cannot be moved or dropped on death.
- Preserve separate inventories and fleet links through normal save/reload, with safe control exits and nearby lost-link recovery.
- Includes the corrected remote icon and parked operator animation.
Compatibility: Hytale 0.7.2; Java 25. This is an experimental prerelease: use a disposable world and keep matching world/player backups. Some animation transitions, human sound listening and real second-client play remain unverified. Other game versions and cross-mod compatibility are unverified.
Download the JAR to install. The candidate ZIP contains the same JAR plus the offline player guide. SHA256SUMS.txt covers both downloads.
