Open-world crafting games often feature some form of fishing, so it's no surprise to see the feature in Hytale. However, fishing in this game is very different from what you see in the likes of Minecraft and Stardew Valley.
After all, there are no fishing rods in the game, nor is there a fishing minigame. Nevertheless, you can certainly still catch some fish in the world of Hytale. This is a full explanation of how to do it and what to do with the fish afterwards.
Hytale is still early access. Therefore, some parts of the fishery may change in the future.
What you need to fish
Instead of fishing rods there is Fishing traps in this game.
To create them, you first need a Farmer's Workbench. This is a little strange because fishing is not really a farmer's job. Regardless, you can build a Farmer's Workbench from a regular Workbench uses the following materials:
- 6 of all tree logs
- 20 plant fibers
Once you have your Farmer's Workbench, you must upgrade it to level 2 to be able to manufacture the Fishing Trap. This is what you need to upgrade Farmer's Workbench:
- 50 The essence of life
- 5 Wheat
- 5 Salad
- 5 softwood logs (beech, aspen and banyan)
Then you can build the fishing trap using the following materials:
- 10 of any wood
- 50 The essence of life
- 20 plant fibers
- 1 iron ingot
Another thing that can help you fish is fish baitwhich you can too craft from a Tier 2 Farmer's Workbench. Here's what you'll need to make some:
- 3 of any fruit
- 5 The essence of life

How to catch a fish
Once you have your fishing trap and bait, you're ready to catch some fish. So, trap in hand, wander out into the ocean or pond and place the unit on top of the water with a right click.
Then, get your bait in hand and right click on the trap to insert it. Now it's all about waiting for your trap to fall. This may take some time, but the bait makes it faster.
Once a fish has been caught, you can walk up to the trap and press “f” to harvest it and get the fish.
What should the fish be used for?
To use a fish you have caught, you need a cook stove. You can build one from Workbench uses the following things:
- 2 Copper ingot
- 10 of all tree logs
- 5 of any stone
With the chef's stove and the fish you've caught, you can make Raw Fish using the stove. You may notice that there are a few different versions of this on the Chef's Stove menu. This is because, for example,The amount of raw fish you can make depends on how rare the fish you caught is. Here's a breakdown:

When you have the Raw Fish, you can cook it with a campfire. You don't even need a workbench to build a campfire; just you need these things:
Then place the raw fish on the fire with some wood as fuel makes delicious grilled fish that you can eat to regain health.
