What to know
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.
What a Beech Sapling is
A Beech Sapling is an item that grows into a full Beech Tree when planted. Beech trees provide softwood logs used in crafting and building. A fully grown Beech Tree completes several growth stages over a few in-game days and drops wood when harvested.
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.
How Beech Trees Grow
Beech trees usually go through multiple growth stages and take around two in-game days to become full trees after planting. Growth progresses naturally as time passes while you play.
Tips for optimal growth:
- Make sure there is enough clear space above and around the sapling so the tree can form without obstruction.
- Plant saplings in rows or patterns near your base to establish a renewable wood supply.
How to Harvest Beech Trees
Once the tree is fully grown:
- Chop the base of the tree with a hatchet or axe.
- The entire tree will collapse, yielding Beech Logs (softwood) and possibly leaf drops.
Beech Logs are essential early-game wood used for crafting and building and can be turned into Softwood Planks at a Builder’s Workbench for construction and upgrades.
Why Beech Saplings are useful in Hytale
Crafting & Building: Beech provides softwood logs that are foundational for upgrades such as the Farmer’s Workbench and furniture.
Steady Wood Supply: Instead of traveling far for wood, you can grow Beech trees near your base.
