Hytale offers you a variety of things for you to do. However, farming is one of the necessary skills you need to learn from the start. It involves you collecting various seeds, using your farmer’s workbench, and crafting recipes. But don’t worry, as we have prepared a guide for you to start farming easily.
How to Create a Farmer’s Workbench in Hytale
To start your farming journey, you need to have a farmer’s workbench. To craft a farmer’s workbench, you’ll need six tree trunks and 20 plant fibers. Place your workbench near a place you regularly visit, like the spawn or the Forbidden Temple.
These two are easily available resources; you just need to cut down some trees nearby. As you keep upgrading your farmer’s workbench, the requirements for resources will also keep increasing.
How to Start Farming in Hytale

To get started with farming, you’ll need some basic farming tools. A crude hoe, a watering can, and shears will be ample for you as a beginner. A crude hoe can be crafted using two tree trunks and one stone. A watering can requires three iron ingots, and shears require one iron ingot.
As a start, grab your shears and explore the map, trimming any fully grown crops you come across, such as pumpkins, wheat, or similar plants. Cutting mature crops gives you a chance to obtain standard seed bags, along with Essence of Life.
After collecting a good amount of this essence, you can spend it to acquire wheat or lettuce seed bags. You’ll also need a substantial supply of Essence of Life to upgrade your Farmer’s Workbench to higher tiers.

How to Plant a Seed in Hytale
To successfully plant a seed in Hytale, follow the steps given below:
- Equip your crude hoe from the inventory and plow the empty brown land you find. Stop when you see the land get into a stripped texture. Do not create a hole at that location.
- Next, you need to water the plowed land with your watering can. Wait until the plowed land turns into a darker shade to show it has been watered.
- Take your seeds to the spot you have plowed and right-click to plant them there. Now you need to wait until it matures, and then you can harvest it using your shears.
While some plants will grow on the ground, some will require special types of soil/stone. For that, you can collect that type of soil from the respective biome and put it inside a stone planter (crafted using three stone, two soil, and 10 Essence of Life).
