How to Skip Night in Hytale

What to know

• You must craft a bedroll or bed to sleep
• Sleeping only works once it is fully dark
• Time progresses slowly, so patience is required
• Sleeping skips the night and advances time to morning

In Hytale, night can be dangerous early on due to limited visibility and hostile creatures. The game allows you to skip nighttime safely, but only if you prepare the right item and use it at the correct time.

Why skipping the night matters

Skipping night helps you:

• Avoid hostile enemies that spawn after dark
• Maintain visibility while exploring
• Control your survival pace early in the game
• Set a respawn point once you sleep

For new characters, sleeping is one of the safest ways to stabilize progression.

How to craft a bedroll or bed

Gather the required crafting materials early, including animal-based resources like Light Hide. Open your crafting menu or workbench.

Craft either a bedroll (early-game option) or a bed if you have more materials available.

Place the bedroll or bed on flat ground where you want to sleep. Once placed, it can be reused whenever conditions allow.

How to skip night by sleeping

Wait until the world becomes fully dark. Dusk is not enough. Interact with your placed bedroll or bed.

If sleeping is not available yet, continue checking periodically—time passes slowly in Hytale. Once the sleep option appears, activate it. Your character will sleep, and the game will advance directly to morning.

Common reasons sleeping doesn’t work

• Sleeping too early: It’s not fully nighttime yet
• Daylight remaining: Sunset phase still counts as day
• Bed not placed properly: Sleeping requires a placed bed item
• Player interruption: Moving cancels the interaction

Bed vs bedroll differences

Both function the same for skipping night, so the bedroll is usually the best early choice.
