Run configuration

Basic configuration

Game runs are unique, and each run configuration results in a new server being created. They do not share worlds, configuration, etc. Each run configuration can include any number of registered plugins - this is largely to support more complex, multi-plugin projects. By default, if you only have one plugin registered, each server run will use that unless you specify an empty list.

buid.gradle.kts

import dev.hygradle.dsl.run.Run

hygradle {
  runs {
    register<Run>("onlyExamplePlugin")
  }
}

Each run configuration will result in a Gradle task named start<RunName>Server being registered. You can run this normally, or you can run it in debug mode in your IDE to enable hot reloading.

Hot reloading

Hygradle uses a custom HotswapAgent plugin (built into the harness) to detect class redefinitions, and reload affected plugins and their lifecycle. Hygradle defaults projects to a Java 25 runtime that supports this, so this should just work TM.
