Hytale is a popular sandbox RPG experience where the freedom of sandbox meets the momentum of an RPG. You can explore dungeons, fight monsters, craft gear, and build anything you imagine while you continue your adventure through the story.
You must have spotted some beautiful crystals during your journey in Hytale, but as soon as you try to mine them, they unexpectedly breaks. So, here’s a comple guide on how to mine Crystals in Hytale.
How To Mine Crystals In Hytale

To mine all kinds of Crystals in Hytale, you should be using the right tool, which is the Iron Pickaxe. If you are using any other tool, those Crystals might just break.
So, in order to craft an Iron Pickaxe, you first need to craft a Workbench for x4 of Any Tree Trunk and x4 of Any Stone. You can easily find these materials at your spawn location.

Now, just place down the Workbench and go to the second tab with the Tools. To craft an Iron Pickaxe in Hytale you need the following materials:
| Required Material | How to Get |
|---|---|
| x5 Iron Ingot | Forge Iron at the Furnace. Iron ours spawn more in the Badlands biome (desert zone on your map) |
| x2 Light Leather | Obtain it after Tanning Light Hide on the Tanning Rack. Small animals like Cows will give you this item, and they roam around the Forest area |
| x2 Linen Scrap | These are drops from Skeletons. These are a common mob in the Forest area. |
After you get the Iron Pickaxe, you can head into caves and focus on exploring deeper. If you spot a colorful glow, go towards it to find the Crystal. Mining Crystals will give you Crystal Shards.
How To Use Crystals In Hytale

Crystals in Hytale work as decorations instead of crafting materials for gear or weapons. If you are bored of lighting areas with Torches, you can use Crystals to add color and style to your base.
After you collect Crystal Shards, you can return to your base and use the Builder’s Workbench. From there, you can create Small Crystals, Medium Crystals, Large Crystals, and Crystal Blocks for decoration.
