How to Make Planks in Hytale

What to know

• Planks are crafted at the Builder’s Workbench using wood logs.
• Any tree type works, so you don’t need rare wood variants early.
• Planks are essential for structures, furniture, and rails.
• The crafting process is simple but easy to overlook at first.

In Hytale, planks are one of the first refined building materials you’ll rely on. They form the backbone of early construction, storage, and transport systems. While exact conversion ratios are still being finalized post–Early Access launch, the crafting flow itself is fully established and consistent.

How to craft Builder's Workbench

Step 1 — Collect wood logs

Explore nearby forests or plains and locate trees. Break tree trunks by hand or with an axe to collect wood logs. These logs are the base resource for all early wooden materials, including planks.

Step 2 — Craft the Builder’s Workbench

Before planks become available, you must place a Builder’s Workbench.

Step 3 — Open your inventory crafting grid

Use the basic crafting interface available from the start of the game.

Step 4 — Craft the workbench

Combine:

• 6 wood logs
• 3 stone

Once crafted, place the Builder’s Workbench on the ground.

How to craft Planks using the Builder’s Workbench

Step 1 — Access the crafting station

Interact with the placed Builder’s Workbench to open its crafting menu.

Step 2 — Insert logs and select planks

Place your collected logs into the input slot. At the top of the crafting list, select the standard wooden plank option.

Step 3 — Craft and collect

Confirm the craft. The planks are produced instantly and transferred to your inventory, ready for use.

Uses of Planks in Hytale

Planks unlock a wide range of recipes and structures, including:

• Floors, walls, and stairs
• Doors and decorative blocks
• Furniture and storage
• Rails and rail carts

Because multiple wood-based items come from the same logs, it’s efficient to convert only what you need and keep spare logs for later upgrades.

Tips to get Planks easily

• Any wood type works, so focus on quantity, not variety.
• Craft extra planks early to avoid repeated trips to the workbench.
• If you don’t see planks listed, ensure logs—not raw blocks—are placed in the input slot.
