What to know
- Azure Kelp grows only in deep ocean biomes, especially around coral reefs and underwater cliffs.
- It is are used in crafting unique blocks and furniture.
- You’ll need basic tools (shears, axe) and some exploration to reliably farm them.
In Hytale, Azure Kelp belongs to the ocean-themed décor set, adding a vibrant, magical blue glow to builds. Since it’s fairly rare, knowing where and how to find it can save you a lot of time roaming the coastline.
Azure Kelp location: Where it spawns
Azure Kelp grows in the deeper parts of the ocean biome, usually in clusters on the seabed. Look for:
- Coral reef areas with lots of colorful corals and fish.
- Underwater cliffs, caves, or near sunken structures.
- Deeper water (below ~30–40 blocks from sea level) where normal Kelp is less common.

It appears as tall, glowing blue kelp plants that sway in the current, similar to regular kelp but with a distinct azure glow.
How to collect Azure Kelp
Azure Kelp must be harvested with shears; using your hand or a sword will only drop normal kelp or nothing at all.
Step 1: Find an Azure Kelp area
Head to a deep ocean biome with coral reefs or underwater cliffs. Look for tall, glowing blue kelp growing from the seabed.

Step 2: Swim up to the kelp
Dive down to the kelp patch and approach the plant directly. You don’t need any tools or shears to collect it.
Step 3: Pick up the kelp
Interact with the kelp (or swim through it, depending on your controls) to collect the Azure Kelp directly from the water. The items will be added to your inventory.


Crafting with Azure Kelp
Azure Kelp is mainly used for ocean-themed decorative blocks and special utility items. Once collected, it can be crafted at a crafting table or workbench into unique blue, glowing components.
Common Azure Kelp items include:
- Azure Kelp blocks for walls, floors, and underwater builds
- Decorative blocks with a glowing, magical effect
- Special items like teleporters (if unlocked in your version)
Recipe availability can change, so always double-check the crafting menu in your current Hytale build.
Tips for farming Azure Kelp efficiently
- Carry a water-breathing potion or helmet enchantment to stay underwater longer.
- Use a fast boat or dolphin-riding to cover ocean zones quickly.
- Mark large Azure Kelp patches on your map for easy repeat farming.
- In multiplayer, split tasks: one player farms kelp while others scout nearby waters.
Farming Azure Kelp
Azure Kelp is rarer than Azure Wood but ideal for underwater builds and glowing décor. Dive into deep ocean areas, harvest kelp carefully, and stock up enough to craft vibrant blue blocks that give your base a true ocean-magic vibe.
