Unlike other sandbox games where you might need coal or charcoal immediately, Hytale allows you to create early-game lighting using natural resins. In this guide, we will show you how to gather materials and craft your first set of Crude Torches to keep the darkness at bay.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Gear Up with a Crude Hatchet<\/h3>\n<p>To collect some of the specialized materials needed for lighting, you should first craft a basic toolset. We recommend starting with a <strong>Crude Hatchet<\/strong>. It requires 2 Rubbles, 2 Plant Fibers, and 2 Sticks. This tool will allow you to chop down trees much faster, which is essential for the next steps. For a full breakdown of your first tools, see our guide here:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/article\/crafting-your-first-item-in-hytale\/\">Making Your First Item in Hytale<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" class=\"wp-image-18311\" src=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-97-1024x575.png\" alt=\"Viewing the Crude Hatchet recipe in Hytale\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-97-1024x575.png 1024w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-97-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-97-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-97-50x28.png 50w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-97-60x34.png 60w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-97-100x56.png 100w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-97.png 1260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Craft a Crude Hatchet to begin gathering wood resources.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Collect Plant Fiber for Binding<\/h3>\n<p>The first ingredient for a Crude Torch is <strong>1 Plant Fiber<\/strong>. This material acts as the wick and binding for the torch. You can find this easily by destroying small bushes, shrubs, or tall grass found in almost any biome in Zone 1. Simply punch or use your hatchet on the foliage to collect it.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"561\" class=\"wp-image-18279\" src=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-88-1024x561.png\" alt=\"Gathering plant fiber from vegetation in Hytale\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-88-1024x561.png 1024w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-88-300x165.png 300w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-88-768x421.png 768w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-88-50x27.png 50w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-88-60x33.png 60w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-88-100x55.png 100w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-88.png 1262w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Gather Plant Fiber from surrounding bushes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Harvest Tree Sap for Fuel<\/h3>\n<p>Instead of coal, Crude Torches in Hytale use <strong>1 Tree Sap<\/strong> as a flammable fuel source. To get this, use your Crude Hatchet to chop down trees. When the tree logs break, there is a high chance they will drop Tree Sap alongside the standard wood logs. Keep an eye out for the yellow\/orange droplets on the ground.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"569\" class=\"wp-image-18313\" src=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-99-1024x569.png\" alt=\"Collecting Tree Sap by chopping trees in Hytale\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-99-1024x569.png 1024w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-99-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-99-768x427.png 768w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-99-50x28.png 50w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-99-60x33.png 60w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-99-100x56.png 100w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-99.png 1254w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Break trees to obtain the Tree Sap needed for lighting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Pick Up Sticks for the Base<\/h3>\n<p>The final component is <strong>1 Stick<\/strong>. These serve as the handle of your torch. You can find these scattered across the forest floor throughout the map. Walk up to a fallen branch and press the <strong>F<\/strong> key to pick it up directly into your inventory.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"566\" class=\"wp-image-18278\" src=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-87-1024x566.png\" alt=\"Picking up sticks from the ground in Hytale\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-87-1024x566.png 1024w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-87-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-87-768x424.png 768w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-87-50x28.png 50w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-87-60x33.png 60w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-87-100x55.png 100w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-87.png 1256w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Collect sticks from the ground to use as the torch base.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Craft Your Crude Torches<\/h3>\n<p>With all three materials gathered, press <strong>TAB<\/strong> to open your inventory and locate the <strong>Crude Torch<\/strong> recipe in the Pocket Crafting menu.
