Overview

TalePickup is a QoL auto pickup plugin built for Hytale servers:

Instant Pickup: Items go directly to inventory the moment they spawn as entities. Zero delay, 100% native API.
Smart Tree Detection: Algorithm scans the actual tree shape. Works with any tree size or shape.
AutoSmelt: Automatically smelts ores into bars on pickup. Fully configurable recipes.
Mob Drop Pickup: Kill mobs, loot goes straight to inventory.
Per Player Control: Each player can toggle pickup and autosmelt independently. Preferences are saved to disk.

Drops are collected the moment they spawn as item entities
Works naturally with standard block breaking, containers, and mob kills
Container handling: All container types drop directly to inventory when broken
Creative mode protection: Players in Creative are automatically ignored
Inventory full handling: Remaining items stay on the ground with a throttled notification
Native "pick up" feedback for every collected item

Configurable scan patterns: Define which block types are part of a tree (trunk, branch, leaves, roots)
Separate trigger patterns: Only trunk/branch blocks trigger the scan, leaves alone don't
Performance capped: Configurable max blocks (default: 1024) and max scan radius (default: 40)
Drop offset tolerance: ±1 block face neighbor check to catch items spawning slightly off center
Works with any tree size: From small saplings to massive ancient trees.

Fully configurable recipes: Define input, output, and amount per recipe in config
10 default ore recipes: Copper, Iron, Gold, Silver, Cobalt, Mithril, Adamantite, Thorium, Onyxium, Prisma
Per player toggle: Players can enable/disable autosmelt with [ICODE]/autosmelt[/ICODE]
Global config control: Must be enabled in config before players can use it
Separate permission: [ICODE]talepickup.smelt[/ICODE] for autosmelt access

Survival Servers: Smoother mining and farming with zero ground clutter.
RPG / Progression: Less downtime after fights and gathering. AutoSmelt speeds up ore processing.
