What to know
- Hytale uses a workbench-based crafting system, not a grid like Minecraft.
- A bucket is crafted from wood and plant fibers, not metal ingots.
- After crafting, right‑click a water, milk, or similar source block to fill the bucket.
- Buckets are essential for farming, cooking, and some quests that require liquids.
