The energy dependence of light (anti)nuclei and (anti)hypertriton production are investigated in central Au-Au collisions from AGS up to LHC energies at midrapidity, using the parton and hadron cascade model (PACIAE) together with the dynamically constrained phase-space coalescence model(DCPC). We find that the yields, yield ratios of the antiparticles to their corresponding particles, the coalescence parameters 
and the strangeness population factor 
of light (anti)nuclei and (anti)hypertriton all show strong dependences on the energy. Furthermore, we analyze and discuss the strangeness population factor and the coalescence parameters , and find a transition point near 20 GeV. These results thus suggest, in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, the potential usefulness of the and of light nuclei production as an indirect probe of the transition point related to the QCD critical phenomena. The results from PACIAE+DCPC model are well consistent with experimental data within the error margin.
