Key locations for materials
Head to snowy mountains, frozen caves, or winter biomes in Hytale to mine blue, green, red, or yellow crystal shards—these spawn as nodes you break with a pickaxe. Forests and icy zones often have the colored variants near ore deposits, making early-game farming straightforward if you explore starting areas.
How to gather crystal shards
Follow these steps to collect the needed shards efficiently.
Step 1
Craft a basic pickaxe using sticks and rubble from your spawn area—press Tab to open inventory and pocket craft it.
Step 2
Travel to a winter biome, identifiable by snow-covered ground and ice blocks, usually north of starting grasslands.
Step 3
Mine crystal shard nodes: look for colorful glowing formations on walls or ground, and harvest 2-3 of each color (red, green, blue, or yellow depending on variant).
Step 4
Store shards in a wooden chest crafted from logs to avoid encumbrance while exploring.
How to craft Winter Light
Unlock the Furniture workbench first by crafting basic furniture items like chairs from wood planks. Then proceed with detailed assembly.
Step 1
Open your inventory with Tab and navigate to the crafting section—ensure the Furniture station is placed nearby or in range.
Step 2
Place exactly 2 Red Crystal Shards, 2 Green Crystal Shards, and 2 Blue Crystal Shards into the grid as per the recipe pattern (typically surrounding a center slot).
Step 3
Confirm the recipe highlights, then click to craft—one set yields the Winter Light item.
Step 4
Repeat for multiples, and place the light by right-clicking on a block surface in your build.
Position Winter Lights on walls or ceilings in housing areas for optimal glow without obstructing paths. Combine with other deco items like wreaths for full winter setups, and use in multiplayer bases to impress friends. Experiment in creative mode first to visualize your design.
Mastering Winter Light crafting transforms ordinary bases into festive havens—you now have all steps to light up Orbis stylishly.
