How To Craft in Hytale: Recipes You Need For Beginning

I found that Hytale crafting begins with the resources you find in the world. You start with basic pocket crafting for essential survival tools. The next step is building a Workbench, which unlocks a much larger tree of recipes and specialized crafting stations. Mastering this progression is key to thriving in the game and one of the most interesting functions in this genre.

Learn how to craft in Hytale, how many workbenches there are, and what you need to craft them all.

Hytale Crafting Guide: Pocket Recipes

To craft in Hytale, you first access the pocket crafting menu within your inventory — press TAB. This initial method lets you create a few essential items using materials gathered directly from your surroundings. It is a quick way to get basic tools and survival gear without needing a dedicated station. I found that I could make simple things like a Crude Hatchet or a Campfire this way. This immediate crafting capability helps you establish a foothold in the world right after you begin playing.

Here is every essential to survive in Hytale item you can craft in your pocket (no workbench):

• Campfire - 4 Sticks, 2 Pieces of Rubble
• Crude Bedroll - 3 Plant Fiber, 2 Light Hide
• Crude Torch (4) - 1 Plant Fiber, 1 Tree Sap, 1 Stick
• Wooden Chest - 10 Tree Trunks
• Workbench - 4 Tree Trunks, 4 Stone
• Builder's Workbench - 6 Tree Trunks, 3 Stone
• Crude Sword - 2 Rubble, 2 Plant Fiber, 2 Sticks
• Crude Hatchet - 2 Rubble, 2 Plant Fiber, 2 Sticks
• Crude Pickaxe - 2 Rubble, 2 Plant Fiber, 2 Sticks

The most critical item to create from this menu is the Workbench. It serves as the gateway to all advanced crafting possibilities in the game. In Hytale's Creative mode, a Workbench can be placed directly from the item catalog. In Survival, after crafting the Workbench via the pocket menu, place it to unlock extensive crafting options. Its main interface displayed my character's gear and stats, current inventory, available recipes, and the bench's current level.

The Workbench menu organizes recipes into four tabs: Survival, Tools, Crafting, and Tinkering. While some tabs contain single-craft items like tools and weapons, the Crafting tab allows for the creation of other specialized crafting tables. Many recipes within these menus are locked, requiring upgrades to the Workbench or other crafting stations, such as the Armorer’s Workbench, Farmer’s Workbench, Builder’s Workbench, etc. These upgrades demand specific resources such as ingots, plant materials, and unique items, making resource gathering and workbench progression central to unlocking new crafting recipes.

All Crafting Recipes You Need For Beginning

Moving past the initial crude gear requires processing more advanced resources. The complete weapon and tool recipe trees open up once you build a Furnace and begin smelting ores like Copper and Iron. This process is the first real step toward crafting stronger, more durable equipment, allowing you to tackle greater challenges and explore more dangerous areas of the world.Hytale is in early access, so the list of recipes must expand with future updates.

Weapon:

• Copper Sword – 4x Copper Ingot, 4x Trunks, 3x Plant Fiber
• Crossbow – 3x Linen Scraps, 3x Light Leathers, 6x Iron Ingots
• Crude Mace – 6x Stones, 3x Trunks, 4x Plant Fibers
• Crude Battleaxe – 6x Stones, 3x Trunks, 6x Plant Fibers
• Crude Daggers – 3x Rubble, 2x Plant Fibers, 2x Sticks
• Crude Shortbow – 4x Sticks, 6x Plant Fibers
• Copper Shield – 2x Copper Ingots, 1x Trunks, 3x Plant Fibers

Armor:

• Copper Helmet – 6x Copper Ingot, 2x Plant Fiber
• Copper Cuirass – 11x Copper, Ingot 4x, Plant Fiber
• Copper Gauntlet – 5x Copper Ingot, 1x Plant Fiber
• Copper Greaves – 9x Copper, Ingot 3x, Plant Fiber

Building & Furniture

• Wooden Shutter – 2x Wood Trunk, 2x Tree Sap
• Simple Wooden Door – Tree Trunk
• Simple Wooden Window – Tree Trunk
• Simple Wooden Counter – 3x Hardwood Planks, 1x Iron Ingot
• Simple Wooden Counter (Alt) – 2x Hardwood Planks, 2x Stick

The primary challenge is to survive by making use of the land's bountiful resources. The game tasks you with establishing a life for yourself in the wilds, which involves more than just fending off danger. The resources you gather are the building blocks for a wide range of craftable items. I could create everything from weapons and equipment to furniture and farming gear, turning a wild landscape into a functional home.
