What to Know

  • Crafting a trapdoor involves a progression through multiple crafting stations, starting from pocket crafting to a Builder's Workbench.
  • The primary materials required for the necessary stations are tree trunks (logs) and stone.
  • Trapdoors are created by placing logs into the input slot of a Builder's Workbench.

Trapdoors are versatile building components in Hytale, perfect for creating hidden entrances, compact flooring, or securing vertical ladder shafts. Because they are processed wooden items, they require specific crafting stations to produce.
