What to know
- The glider is currently a creative‑only item; it can be spawned from the creative menu, not obtained in survival.
- In creative mode, it lets you glide freely using WASD to move, Space to ascend, and Shift to descend.
- There is no crafting recipe or loot source for the glider in exploration mode yet; it’s still a work‑in‑progress feature.
- Developers have hinted that the glider will eventually be craftable, likely using materials like wood and kelp (possibly Azure/keelp) in a future update.
As of now, if you want to use the Glider in Hytale, you need to be in creative mode. It’s not a survival item you can find in chests, buy from NPCs, or craft at a workbench; instead, it’s a dev tool that lets you soar across the world for building, scouting, and fast travel. It is expected to be added soon to the game.
How to get and use the Glider in creative mode
Since the Glider is only in creative mode for now, here’s how to use it:
Step 1: Enter Creative Mode and get the Glider
Start or join a world in Creative Mode, open the Creative inventory, and grab the Glider from the transportation or miscellaneous section.
Step 2: Equip and deploy the Glider
Drag the glider into your hotbar, equip it, then jump from a high place (like a cliff or tower) to deploy it and start gliding.
Step 3: Control your glide
Use WASD to steer while gliding, Space to gain a bit of height, and Shift to descend faster for a controlled landing.
Step 4: Land and stow
Aim for a flat, safe landing spot, the glider automatically stows once you touch solid ground, and you can re-equip it anytime for another glide.
How the Glider could work in survival
From developer hints and community info, the plan is to add the glider to exploration/survival mode in a future update. Here’s what’s expected:
Crafting recipe
- Likely requires basic materials like wood and kelp (possibly a special variant like Azure Kelp).
- Crafted at a workbench or special crafting station, not in the player’s inventory.
Durability and fuel
- In survival, the glider will probably have durability that degrades over time and can be repaired.
- It may also need a fuel source (like special feathers or energy items) to keep gliding for long distances.
Lore and factions
- Gliders are tied to Hytale’s lore, possibly used by certain factions or cultures in the world.
- You might unlock them through quests or by reaching specific regions or tech tiers.
What’s next for the Glider in Hytale
For now, the glider is best used as a creative-mode tool for exploration and large builds. As Hytale continues to evolve, it’s expected to become a full survival item with crafting, durability, and possible upgrades tied to better materials. Keep an eye on official patch notes and dev updates to know when gliders officially make their way into survival gameplay.
