As I personally don’t enjoy IntelliJ products that much, I prefer using VS Code for Java development.
Therefore, I created a devcontainer for myself. Currently, it only works on Linux, as the mount path needs to be adjusted depending on the operating system.
devcontainer.json:
{
"build": {
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile"
},
"name": "Hytale Modding Java 25 DevContainer",
"workspaceFolder": "/workspaces",
"customizations": {
"vscode": {
"extensions": ["vscjava.vscode-java-pack", "esbenp.prettier-vscode"]
}
},
"features": {
"ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/git:1": {}
},
"remoteUser": "root",
"postCreateCommand": "apt-get update && apt-get install -y openssh-client && java -version && mvn -version",
"mounts": [
"source=/your-home-path/.var/app/com.hypixel.HytaleLauncher/data/Hytale/UserData,target=/hytale-userdata,type=bind,consistency=cached"
]
}Dockerfile:
FROM eclipse-temurin:25-jdk
# Install Maven
RUN apt-get update \
&& apt-get install -y maven \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
WORKDIR /workspaces
Others also could benefit from this and save time setting up a new mod. :)
Additionally then based on this also some tasks like watching the server logs, copying the new mod in the dedicated directory etc. can be added. At least thats what I did for a faster development cycle.
