At the start of Hytale, you’ll need to gather plant fiber to make basic tools like a sword, axe, and pickaxe. It’s not immediately clear where to find it, especially if you’ve accidentally picked some up without realizing it. The simple answer is: plants. But which plants give you fiber can be tricky to identify at first, since many options are available. Here’s a guide to help you find all the fiber you need.
If you want some extra help, invite friends to join your game for more hands-on gathering.
Where to find Hytale plant fiber
The most obvious source of plant fiber is, of course, plants themselves. When you spawn into the game and leave your starting building, bushes like those shown above are your best bets to gather fiber quickly.
If those aren’t nearby, look for smaller bushes scattered across plains and forested areas—they are common and provide plenty of fiber.
Tip: Cutting down trees can also yield fiber. Chop the bottom part of a trunk to fell the entire tree at once, often dropping some plant fiber along with wood and sap.
In Hytale, different biomes feature their own types of plants. When searching in areas without familiar bushes, focus on plants that have detailed textures or patterns—these are more likely to give fiber. Avoid plants with fruit or flowers, since you’ll harvest those instead.
Here are some examples of plants that give you fiber:
- Bushes with textured leaves, not plain grass
- Certain small shrubs in forests or open areas
In summary: The best way to gather plant fiber is to explore and simply punch or slash all sorts of plants you come across. This approach will quickly give you enough fiber for your gear and help you learn what to look for in future gathering.
Remember, discovery is part of the fun—keep exploring, and soon you’ll have a good eye for the right plants!
