Sometimes the best server features aren't the most complex ones. The Marriage plugin for Hytale does exactly what you'd expect: it lets two players marry each other. Married couples get a private message channel and the ability to teleport to each other, which makes it a genuinely useful social feature on top of being a fun one.

It's lightweight, takes about two minutes to set up, and players tend to love it. You can download it from CurseForge.

Quick Command Reference

Command	What It Does
/marry player [Username]	Send or accept a marriage proposal
/marry partner	See who you're married to
/marry tp	Teleport to your partner
/marry msg [message]	Private message your partner
/marry divorce	Divorce your partner (with confirmation)
/marry list	List all married couples currently online

Installation

Drop the Marriage jar file into your server's mods folder and restart. The config file is generated automatically. Everything works out of the box with no extra setup needed.

By default, all players can use the marry commands without needing specific permissions. If you want more control over who can do what, there's a config option to enable permission-based access (covered below).

How It Works

One player proposes to another with /marry player [Username]. The other player accepts by running the same command back. Once married, both players get access to two exclusive commands:

/marry tp teleports you directly to your partner, which is basically a free TPA that doesn't require the other person to accept. Handy for couples who are building together or exploring different parts of the map.

/marry msg [message] sends a private message that only your partner can see. It works like /msg but you don't need to type their name every time.

If things don't work out, /marry divorce ends the marriage. There's a confirmation step so nobody accidentally divorces mid-combat.

Players can check who they're married to with /marry partner, and /marry list shows all married couples that are currently online.

The Ring Requirement

By default, players can marry with just a command. But if you want to make it more of an event, you can require players to hold a ring item in their hand when proposing.

Toggle this with the admin command:

/marriage requirering true

Or set "Require-Ring-To-Marry": true in the config file.

This adds a nice roleplay element. Players need to find or buy a ring before they can propose, which makes the whole thing feel more meaningful. If you're running an economy on your server, you could add rings to the shop at a set price, giving marriages an actual in-game cost.

Permissions

By default, all marry commands are open to everyone. If you set "Use-Permissions-For-Commands": true in the config, players will need the specific permissions listed below to use each command.

Permission	What It Allows
marriage.marry	Propose to and accept proposals from other players
marriage.tp	Teleport to your partner
marriage.msg	Private message your partner
marriage.divorce	Divorce your partner
marriage.admin	Access to /marriage admin commands
marriage.admin.requirering	Toggle the ring requirement

One use case for permission-based access: you could make /marry tp a VIP-only perk. Everyone can marry, but only VIP players can teleport to their partner. This keeps the social feature open to all while adding value to paid ranks.

Config Reference

The config file is straightforward. Here's what each setting does:

Setting	Default	What It Does
Require-Ring-To-Marry	false	Players must hold a ring item to propose
Use-Permissions-For-Commands	false	Require permissions for each marry command

That's it. Two settings. The rest of the config contains version info and links to the plugin page.

Ideas for Your Server

The plugin is simple by design, but there are a few ways you can build on it to make marriages more of a feature on your server:

• Sell rings in your shop. If you're running an economy mod, add a ring item at a premium price. Players have to save up before they can propose, which makes it a milestone.
• Gate teleportation behind a rank. Enable permission-based commands and give marriage.tp to VIP players only. The social side stays free, but the teleport perk becomes a selling point for your paid ranks.
• Announce weddings. If you're using a mod with broadcast commands, you could set up an announcement when two players get married. It creates nice community moments in chat.
• Build a wedding venue. Create a dedicated spot on your server with a warp for weddings. It gives players a reason to treat it as an event rather than just a command.
