+## API Overview
+
+Hytale provides a comprehensive Java API for plugin development:
+
+### Core Systems
+- **PluginBase** - Base class for all plugins
+- **Universe/World** - World management
+- **Entity/Player** - Entity handling
+- **Events** - Event system
+- **Commands** - Command framework
+
+### Registries
+Access game systems through typed registries:
+
+```java
+public class MyPlugin extends PluginBase {
+    @Override
+    public void start() {
+        // All registries accessible via PluginBase
+        EventRegistry events = getEventRegistry();
+        CommandRegistry commands = getCommandRegistry();
+        TaskRegistry tasks = getTaskRegistry();
+        AssetRegistry assets = getAssetRegistry();
+        BlockStateRegistry blocks = getBlockStateRegistry();
+        CodecRegistry codecs = getCodecRegistry();
+    }
+}
+```
