Hytale: How To Grow Trees And Plant Saplings
To grow trees in Hytale, you must craft saplings at a Farmer’s Workbench, then place those saplings on valid ground using right click. Raw seeds cannot be planted directly, which is why left click or right click seems like it does nothing at first.
This guide explains exactly why seeds do not work, how to turn them into saplings, and how to plant trees correctly.
Why Seeds Do Not Plant Trees
Seeds are not tree planting items in Hytale.
Seeds are used for farming crops and crafting, not for growing trees. Trying to place them will never work, no matter where you click.
Trees only grow from saplings.
How To Craft Saplings
Saplings are crafted items, not natural drops.
To make saplings, you need access to a Farmer’s Workbench.
Craft a basic Workbench
Use it to craft a Farmer’s Workbench
Place and interact with the Farmer’s Workbench
Craft saplings from the farming menu
Once crafted, saplings behave like normal placeable items.
How To Plant A Sapling
Planting trees is simple once you have the right item.
Equip the sapling in your hotbar
Aim at valid ground like dirt or grass
Right click to place the sapling
Left click is for breaking, not planting.
How Tree Growth Works
After planting, trees grow automatically over time.
Growth does not require water or fertilizer. Trees just need space around them to grow properly.
If a sapling does not grow, nearby blocks may be blocking it.
Best Places To Grow Trees
Trees grow best with open space.
Avoid planting saplings too close together or next to walls. Flat ground with open air above works best.
Spacing your saplings prevents growth issues.
Common Tree Planting Mistakes
Most problems come from missing one step.
Trying to plant seeds instead of saplings
Not crafting a Farmer’s Workbench
Using left click instead of right click
Planting saplings too close together
Once saplings are used correctly, tree growth is reliable.
Final Blurb
Trees in Hytale grow from crafted saplings, not seeds. Build a Farmer’s Workbench, turn seeds into saplings, and place them with right click on open ground. After that, nature does the rest.
