Clay is a base resource in Hytale, but unlike stone and wood, it’s incredibly well-hidden. Although you can find clay in the wild, a far more reliable source of clay would be a certain type of sandstone. Crafting clay is not as complex as you might think, and the end result, gorgeously colored walls, is absolutely worth the effort.
Here’s where to find clay in Hytale, and how to craft it from red sandstone.
How to find clay in Hytale
There are two ways to obtain clay in Hytale. The first option is to locate a clay deposit and collect some clay blocks directly. Clay deposits may spawn in underground caves in the Emerald Wilds (Zone 1), but they’re quite rare. Here’s what such a deposit looks like:
Another way to obtain Hytale clay is to craft it from red sandstone cobble found in abundance in the Howling Sands region (Zone 2). Beware of the difference between “normal” clay and red clay here; although the latter spawns in large quantities within the desert region, you can’t turn red clay into other colors of clay. For that, you need the default clay type.
So, if all you want is red clay, mine the reddish-brown clay blocks pointed out by the upper arrow:
However, if you want normal clay (which may be used to craft white clay, pink clay, green clay, etc.), mine the red sandstone cobble blocks (lower arrow) instead. This type of block can spawn anywhere in the desert, but your best bet is to search the brown areas on the map.
How to craft clay from red sandstone in Hytale
With a decent stack of red sandstone cobble in your inventory, it’s time to turn it into clay. Here’s how to do this:
- Smelt some red sandstone cobble in a furnace. Two pieces of red sandstone cobble will transform into one block of red sandstone.
- Go to the workbench and open the pottery tab.
- Transform four red sandstone blocks into one block of clay.
In other words, you need eight pieces of red sandstone cobble to create one piece of clay in Hytale. Remember, if all you want is red sandstone, it’s better to mine it directly.
If you wish to turn your Hytale clay into smooth colored clay, you must use flower petals of the desired color at the furniture workbench. To make blue clay, for example, you’ll need blue petals, which can be looted from blue plants such as blue aloe. To make red or yellow clay, you would need red and yellow petals from plants such as dandelions and poppies.
Colored clay is the best way to craft a colorful mansion in Hytale‘s Adventure Mode. You can further enhance your smooth colored clay blocks by mixing them with hardwood in the furniture workbench’s “wooden walls” tab. White clay can be used to craft decorative cauldrons, too.
