Hytale provides a comprehensive Java API for plugin development:
### Core Systems

- **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();
}
}
```
