Craft Beech Saplings at a Farmer’s Workbench with 5 Life Essence.

Plant on dirt or grass; they mature in about 2 in-game days over 5 growth stages.
-
Beech Trees appear as brown-trunked, less-branched trees with thinner leaves in starting areas.
In Hytale, Beech trees are a reliable source of light-colored wood, but to grow them near your base, you first need to collect their saplings. Here’s how to go about it:
How to craft a Beech Sapling
Step 1: Build Farmer’s Workbench
Craft a Farmer’s Workbench using tree trunks and fibers.

Step 2: Collect Life Essence
Harvest Essence of Life from plants. Explore grassy areas for wild crops like wheat or corn. Harvesting them will yield Essence of Life.

You’ll need 5 units per sapling.
Step 3: Craft the Sapling
Open Farmer’s Workbench, select Saplings menu, and craft with 5 Life Essence.

How to plant and grow Beech Saplings
Right-click the sapling on dirt or grass to plant.
Step 1: Choose location
Pick open dirt/grass near your base with room for 10-15 block height.

Step 2: Plant the sapling
Right-click to place; it begins 5-stage growth.

Step 3: Wait for maturity
Advance time by sleeping or playing; full growth in ~2 days.

Step 4: Harvest
Chop the base of the grown tree for logs, leaves drop extra items.
Mastering Beech Saplings sets up infinite softwood for your Hytale base, fueling early upgrades and builds without wandering far.
