What to know
- You must first craft and place a standard Workbench to access tool recipes.
- Creating a Workbench requires four tree trunks and three stones.
- A crude hatchet is made using any rubble, plant fiber, and sticks.
- If you have copper ingots, you can opt to craft a more durable copper hatchet instead of the crude version.
The hatchet is one of the most important early-game tools in Hytale, as it allows you to efficiently gather wood and other plant-based resources. To craft one, you will need to move beyond simple pocket crafting and utilize a dedicated workspace. By gathering common materials from the environment like sticks and rubble, you can quickly build the equipment necessary to begin more complex construction projects.
How to Craft a Hatchet in Hytale
The first step is setting up your crafting infrastructure.
Craft Workbench
Gather four tree trunks by hitting trees and collect three stones from the ground. Open your pocket crafting menu by pressing Tab, select the Workbench, and click craft.

Once the Workbench is placed, interact with it by pressing F to see the expanded crafting options.
Craft Hatchet
Navigate to the tools section by clicking the tool icon in the menu.

To craft a crude hatchet, ensure you have:
- Any Rubble: x2
- Plant Fiber: x2
- Stick: x2
Select the crude hatchet icon.

Click the craft button to add the tool to your inventory.

If you have access to refined materials like copper ingots, you can use this same menu to craft a higher-tier copper hatchet.
By establishing a workbench and gathering basic environmental resources, you can easily craft a hatchet to improve your resource harvesting efficiency in Hytale.
