Hytale, the highly anticipated adventure and sandbox game from Hypixel Studios, continues in development, but players who already have access to the tests can start exploring its world. In this early part of 2026, one of the first actions for any adventurer is to learn how to craft basic tools for survival, and the pickaxe is absolutely essential. It is the key to collecting valuable ores and progressing in the game, making it a priority after spawning. The good news is that the process is simple and quick, requiring only resources easily found in the starting environment.
How does the creation work? Unlike other titles in the genre, Hytale does not require a complex workbench for the initial pickaxe. You will need basic materials that can be collected in the very first minutes of the game. This accessible design allows players, especially Brazilians who are adapting to the new title, to advance quickly and enjoy the experience without unnecessary frustrations at the start. The crafting happens directly in the character’s inventory, which speeds up the process even further.
Required Materials and Where to Find Them
To create the Crude Pickaxe, you will need to gather six specific items. The first and most common is Stone Rubble. Meanwhile, you can collect it in two main ways. The first and most direct is by breaking small loose stones on the ground. However, if the area around you seems empty, the second option is to use your hands (or a rudimentary tool) to mine Cobblestone blocks. This way, you ensure progress even in less generous biomes.
The other two materials come from trees. Sticks and Vine are the required items. Therefore, the most efficient way to get both at once is to chop down a nearby tree. By doing this, you collect the wood and, often, the sticks and vine also drop as additional resources. Thus, you avoid running around the map looking for separate components.
With all six items in your inventory (4 Stone Rubble, 1 Stick, and 1 Vine), the craft is immediate. Simply open the crafting menu (usually by pressing ‘C’), place the materials in the crafting grid in the correct arrangement, and confirm. That is, the pickaxe will be automatically added to your item bar, ready to use. Now, with this tool in hand, you can already set out to mine ores like coal and iron, taking the next step in your Hytale adventure in this year of 2026.
