Salt is a crafting ingredient for some food recipes in Hytale which can be obtained by processing salt blocks at a cook stove. However, finding Salt Blocks is not easy, because unlike other types of blocks, these cannot be found as normal blocks in the overworld, but can only be acquired through a very specific method.
This guide covers the exact way players can get Salt Blocks Hytaleas well as instructions on how to turn these salt blocks into salt using a chef's stove.
How to grow crops in Hytale
Here's a complete farming guide for Hytale, including how to get farming tools, plant seeds, fertilize soil, and harvest crops.
How to get Salt Blocks in Hytale
The most reliable way to get salt blocks in Hytale is that set up fishing traps in watercourseswhich can be made on a Farmer's Workbench. Fishing traps can be placed above any lake, pond or river to catch fish over time.
The main purpose of fishing traps is to catch fish, but floating things like seashells, sticks, scraps of linen, Essence of Water and, of course, blocks of salt also get stuck in them.
Whether or not a fishing trap will yield salt blocks upon activation is up to chance. Because of this, it is recommended that players place a large number of them to widen the net so to speak.
Fishing traps can be loaded with fish bait (also crafted at a farmer's workbench) to reduce the time it takes for the trap to activate and to catch rare fish. Since bait increases the probability that a fish will be caught in the trap (rather than other items), do not use it when growing salt blocks.
Salt Blocks and Processed Salt can sometimes be found as random loot inside chests.

Where to buy salt in Hytale
Alternatively merchant NPC in the Forgotten Temple sells Salt in exchange for Essence of Life. However, there are only 10 pieces of salt available at a time, and the merchant's inventory is replenished once every three days.
If you are in a hurry to craft an item that requires salt, the fastest way is to buy it from the merchant, but the fishing trap method is more reliable for growing large amounts of salt blocks.
