GlymeraFountain
Best used together with GlymeraBucket.
The well keeps a source that never runs dry — GlymeraBucket is what lets you carry that
fluid away. Water can be scooped with the vanilla bucket, but lava, poison, slime, red
slime and tar can only be picked up with GlymeraBucket. Both plugins work perfectly well
on their own, but together they turn a well into a refillable fluid depot.
Craftable sandstone wells that hold an endless fluid source — one well for each of the
six fluids in Hytale. Place a single item and the whole structure rises from the ground,
turned so its stairs face you, with the fluid already sitting in the basin and dripping
from the capstone above.
What you get
Six craftable wells, one per fluid:
| Well | Fluid |
|---|---|
| Water Fountain | Water |
| Lava Fountain | Lava |
| Poison Fountain | Poison |
| Slime Fountain | Slime |
| Red Slime Fountain | Red Slime |
| Tar Fountain | Tar |
Each one is a single placeable item. Put it down and the complete 5×7×10 sandstone well is
built for you — no assembly, no schematic tool.
Endless, but tidy
- The source refills itself. Scoop it out and it comes back. Your well never runs dry.
- It never leaks into your world. Break any part of the well and the whole structure
comes down including the fluid source, and you get your item back. No forgotten lava
source left behind on your server. - It fits, or it doesn't get built. If the space is blocked, placement is refused and
your item is returned — your terrain is never carved up.
Dripping capstone
The stone directly above the source drips the fluid it holds, in that fluid's real colour,
straight down into the basin. It is a block effect, not a scanning task, so it costs your
server nothing. You can turn it off in the config if you prefer a quiet well.
Yours alone
Only the player who placed a well — or a server operator — can break it again. Nobody
drains or dismantles your fountain while you are away.
Crafting
Everything is made at the Farming Bench. Every well shares the same base and adds the
essences that match its fluid:
Base: 100× Sandstone + 2× Greater Essence of Life
| Well | Plus |
|---|---|
| Water | 1× Essence of Water |
| Lava | 1× Essence of Fire |
| Poison | 1× Essence of Void + 1× Essence of Life |
| Slime | 1× Essence of Life + 1× Essence of Water |
| Red Slime | 1× Essence of Life + 1× Essence of Fire |
| Tar | 1× Essence of Void + 1× Essence of Fire |
Only essences that players can realistically farm or loot are used — no recipe depends on a
single rare source.

Changelog
GlymeraFountain — Changelog
v5.0.0 (2026-09-10) — A fountain never vanishes on pickup
- Fixed: breaking a fountain while the hotbar was full made the fountain disappear. The plugin put the fountain item straight into the hotbar and ignored the result. The item is now handed over the way the game does on pickup: it goes to the hotbar or the backpack according to the player's pickup setting, and if there is no room at all it drops at the player's feet. The same applies when a fountain cannot be placed because there is not enough room around it. The hand-back runs one tick after the break, outside the game's block-break processing, where spawning the dropped item is not allowed.
- Upgrade: replace the jar in
mods/, keep the plugin's data folder, restart the server.
v4.0.0 (2026-08-28) — Hytale 0.6.0 (Update 6)
- Rebuilt for Hytale 0.6.0 (Update 6). Requires server 0.6.0 or newer; this version does not run on 0.5.x, and older versions of this plugin do not run on 0.6.0.
- Migrated to the 0.6.0 APIs (network protocol hytale/3, new command-permission API, block/chunk/entity API changes). Everything that was open to players before is open to players again.
- Upgrade: delete the old jar from
mods/, drop in the new one and keep the plugin's data folder — configs and saved data carry over unchanged. Restart the server.
v3.0.0 — 2026-08-22
Added
- Small wells — a second, low-key well for every fluid (Small Water / Lava / Poison / Slime / Red Slime / Tar Fountain): compact stone-brick basin with a deadwood roof, 7×7 and 6 blocks high, no drip effect. Same endless source, owner protection and clean removal as the large sandstone well.
- Cheaper recipe at the Farming Bench: stone + deadwood planks + half the essences.
- Each small well has its own
recipeEnabled/fountainEnabledswitch (Small_Water, …).
v2.0.0 — 2026-07-23
Fixed
- Ghost drip — occasionally the drip effect kept dripping in mid-air after a well was
broken, until the area was reloaded. The removal now takes the dripping capstone down
in its own step before the rest of the structure, which reliably stops the effect. - Removal is now fully tracked until the last block is gone: if parts of a well sit in an
area that is not loaded at that moment, the plugin keeps clearing them in the background
and even resumes after a server restart. No leftovers, ever. - Two players breaking two wells at the same moment could previously confuse the
bookkeeping and remove the wrong well. Wells are now identified unambiguously.
Changed
- Saving the well list no longer touches the world thread (tiny internal performance
improvement).
v1.0.0 — 2026-07-22
First release.
Features
- Six craftable wells, one per fluid: Water, Lava, Poison, Slime, Red Slime, Tar.
- Placing a single item stamps the complete 123-block sandstone well and puts the matching
fluid source into the basin. - The well is turned so its stairs face the player who placed it.
- Endless source — refills after it is scooped. Driven by the use event, with a cheap
low-frequency safety pass; no per-tick world scanning. - Dripping capstone — the first solid block above the source drips that fluid in its
own colour into the basin. Can be switched off. - Owner protection — only the owner or an operator can break a well.
- Clean removal — breaking any part takes the whole structure down including the fluid
source and returns the placer item, so no endless source is ever left behind. - Space check — placement is refused and the item refunded when the 5×7×10 volume is
blocked. - Every recipe and every fountain can be enabled or disabled individually in the config.
Notes
- All recipes are made at the Farming Bench and use only essences that players can farm or
loot; no recipe depends on a single rare source. - Works standalone, but pairs best with GlymeraBucket — that is what lets you carry
lava, poison, slime, red slime and tar away from the well. - No dependencies, no commands.
