The true successor of Minecraft
Hytale early access was launched on January 14, 2026 and since then it has smashed records with millions of players diving into big moddable worlds with RPG action.
For Minecraft fans and players, this is like a new toy for them, but for the new players, things might get difficult. That’s why we are here with some great tips for beginner players that they can apply in the early access of the game.
Exploration & Progression tips for Hytale
Rush a Hammer for Epic Builds
Hammers are truly the game changers in early access. It’s pretty simple: place a block, tap it to swap styles/designs. There is no need for inventory swaps mid-build. Players can easily craft the walls in more flair and style.
Find a Gaia Temple & activate Statue of Memories
To unlock memories, mapping explored areas and slashing backtracking, you have to interact with the statue, which is found inside the Temple of Gaia courtyard. This is very important for exploration and progression in Hytale.
Wheat Stalk
The fully-grown wheat yields the Essence of Life. This is the key for the workbench upgrades, seed bags (mandatory for farming), and crop systems.
Resource & Crafting
Plant Tree Saplings
Resource and crafting play a major role in the game. Logs/sticks burn great early. But cutting down everything will make you starve for fuel. Buy saplings, plant near base and then enjoy massive trees for sustainable hauls.
Workbenches Unlock Recipes Differently
You can dump material into the benches so that they can reveal the crafts. They pull from surrounding chests; construct storage near save slots. Begin with wooden chests (trunks via basic benches).
Hunt Biome-Specific Loot
Stuck on ores? Swap biomes! Each of these has a unique surface/underground mats. Desert for sands, forest for woods variants and more. Try to explore more and grind everywhere.

Combat & Survival
Block
Shield up time! Blocking is kind of important in Hytale. Whether it is PvE or PvP, blocking will play an important part. Time your block perfectly and then answer with a great counter attack.
Build Bases in Safe Zones
Mobs and monsters spawn everywhere, so it’s better to claim empty buildings or flat clearings to minimize sieges.
Torch Off-Hand + Quick Stack Inventory
Auto-light caverns using the main tool and the off-hand torch. Spam quick-stack (the default key) on any chest to manage lightning inventory.
FAQs
