For Mod Developers

​
1. Add the API dependency

Place HRTK-API.jar in your project’s libs/ directory and add it as compileOnly: 
dependencies {
    compileOnly files(rootProject.ext.hytaleJar)
    compileOnly files("${rootDir}/libs/HRTK-API.jar")
}
compileOnly means the API JAR is only needed at compile time. It’s not bundled into your mod JAR - annotations survive in bytecode but add zero runtime cost.

​
2. Declare optional dependency

In your manifest.json, add HRTK as an optional dependency: 
{
  "OptionalDependencies": {
    "Frotty27:HRTK": "*"
  }
}
This ensures your mod works perfectly on servers without HRTK. Tests are inert unless HRTK is installed.

​
3. Write tests

Create test classes anywhere in your source tree: 
package com.example.mymod.tests;

import com.frotty27.hrtk.api.annotation.*;
import com.frotty27.hrtk.api.assert_.*;

@HytaleSuite("My Tests")
public class MyTests {

    @HytaleTest
    void testSomething() {
        HytaleAssert.assertTrue(true);
    }
}

​
For Server Operators

​
1. Install the plugin

Download HRTK.jar and place it in your Hytale server’s mods directory: Singleplayer / local testing: 
%APPDATA%\Hytale\UserData\Mods\HRTK.jar
Dedicated server: 
<your-server-root>/mods/HRTK.jar

​
2. Start the server

HRTK will scan all loaded mods for test annotations on startup: 
[INFO] HRTK: Discovered 42 test(s) in 8 suite(s) across 3 plugin(s). Use /hrtk run to execute.

​
3. Run tests

/hrtk run              - run all tests
/hrtk run MyMod        - run one mod's tests
/hrtk list             - list all discovered tests

​
Verify Installation

After setup, run /hrtk list to verify tests are discovered: 
Plugin: MyMod
  Suite: My Tests (1 tests)
    - testSomething
If no tests appear, check that:
  1. Your mod JAR is in the server’s mods folder
  2. Test classes have @HytaleTest annotations
  3. HRTK.jar is also in the same mods folder
