Car, airship, boat and raft — 14 rideable vehicles for your Hytale server.
Park any vehicle as a block in the world, hop in with a single use, and go. Cars cruise over land with a real engine sound, boats and rafts glide across the water, and the airship takes you anywhere — no flying permissions required. All vehicles come in multiple colors, are fully craftable in survival, and everything important is configurable.
The fleet
| Type | Variants |
|---|---|
| Car | Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Wood |
| Airship | White, Grey, Light Blue |
| Boat | Natural, Green, Red |
| Raft | Natural, Green, Red |
How it works
- Place a vehicle item to park it as a block — it faces the way you look.
- Use the parked vehicle to board it.
- Drive with your movement keys and view. Vehicles ride at 2x walking speed (configurable).
- Leave the vehicle and it parks itself as a block again, facing your view. Break the parked block to pick the vehicle back up — hulls are indestructible, so you can never lose one.
- Cars are land vehicles: they cannot enter water (driving in ends the ride at the shoreline). Boats and rafts are the opposite — they strand on land.
Flying the airship
- Climb: tap Space — the airship glides up 10 blocks and hovers rock-stable.
- Descend: scroll your hotbar — each notch sinks 10 blocks.
- Cruise: fly in any direction with your movement keys. You can board and leave the airship anywhere, even mid-air.
Crafting
All recipes are crafted at the Workbench, in the Tinkering tab — that's where you'll find every vehicle. Pick the crystal color, get the matching ride. Every ingredient is obtainable in survival: Greater Essence of Life is itself craftable from 100x Essence of Life at the Farming bench.
| Vehicle | Recipe |
|---|---|
| Car | 2x Greater Essence of Life + 10x Iron Bar + 1x Crystal Block (car color) |
| Car (Wood) | 2x Greater Essence of Life + 10x Iron Bar + 10x Softwood Planks |
| Airship | 2x Greater Essence of Life + 30x Light Feathers + 1x Wool Block (balloon color) |
| Boat | 1x Greater Essence of Life + 100x Sticks + 1x Crystal Block (boat color) |
| Raft | 25x Essence of Life + 100x Sticks + 1x Crystal Block (raft color) |
Each vehicle family's recipes can be disabled individually in the config.

Notes
- No dependencies — one self-contained jar.
- Vehicles are invulnerable as entities; the only way to remove one is breaking its parked block, which returns the item.
- Before uninstalling the plugin, pick up all placed vehicles (or run
/gvehicles clean) so no orphaned blocks remain in your world. - Engine sound based on CC0 audio from OpenGameArt.

Changelog
GlymeraVehicles - Changelog
v3.0.0 (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.
v2.0.0 (2026-08-17)
Fixed
-
Vehicles are actually craftable in survival now. All 14 recipes moved from the Builder's
Workbench to the regular Workbench, into the Tinkering tab. The Builder's Workbench is a
structural-crafting bench: its UI converts a single deposited material into block shapes, and
every one of its 899 native recipes has exactly one ingredient. Our three-ingredient vehicle
recipes could never be entered there, so vehicles were effectively uncraftable in survival
(reported by a player on Discord, 2026-08-16). -
Parked vehicles no longer show a phantom hitbox next to the model. All parked vehicle
blocks reused the native boat block hitbox, an asymmetric boat silhouette that never rotates
with the parking direction — most visibly a nearly cube-sized box floating beside parked cars
(the boat's raised bow). Every vehicle family now ships its own per-direction hitbox
(16 custom hitbox assets), measured from the actual model geometry.
Notes
- Recipes themselves are unchanged (same ingredients, costs and 5s craft time), only the bench
moved. Therecipe*Enabledconfig toggles keep working as before. - No Java behavior changes. Already-placed vehicles pick up the corrected hitboxes automatically.
v1.0.0 (2026-07-18)
- Initial CurseForge release: 14 rideable vehicles (car, airship, boat, raft in multiple colors),
park-as-block system, 2x ride speed, airship flight, engine sound, recipe & speed config.
