Hytale Crafting Guide: How to Make Glass Bottles and Build Windows
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
A guide on crafting mechanics in Hytale explains how to collect sand for potion bottles using a furnace and how to build wooden windows via the builder's workbench, based on reporting by Polygon.
Crafting systems in survival sandbox games usually follow a familiar rulebook, but Hytale throws a few curveballs at players diving into its blocky world. If you are coming over from other games in the genre, your first instinct might be to toss some sand into a furnace to melt down transparent panes for your new base. As detailed in a recent guide by Polygon, reality works a bit differently here. Smelting sand actually yields empty potion bottles instead of raw glass blocks, meaning you will need to map out your resource gathering carefully if you want to set up an operational alchemist station.
To stock up on those essential potion bottles, grab a shovel or a pickaxe and head out to the nearest coastline or riverbed. Checking your map for the light cream colored blocks near water will save you a lot of wandering. Once you have a stash of sand, drop it into a standard furnace, which you can easily whip up on a basic workbench. One block of sand translates directly into one empty bottle, getting you ready to dive into potion crafting once you place your alchemist workbench.
Building actual windows for your base skips the glass-smelting process entirely and relies on woodworking instead. You will first need to upgrade your crafting options by building a builder's workbench, which costs six tree trunks and three stones. Toss any type of wood into the workbench input slot, and you can carve out two small windows per single wood block. The resulting window style depends entirely on the timber you use, letting you match your base aesthetics with oak, aspen, or whatever wood type you happen to harvest from the surrounding biomes.
