How to Create Custom Recipes in Hytale

Shaped Recipes

Shaped recipes require items to be placed in a specific pattern on the crafting grid. The position of each item matters. Use this Hytale recipe generator to create shaped recipes with our visual 3x3 grid editor.

Shapeless Recipes

Shapeless recipes don't care about the position of ingredients. As long as all required items are in the crafting grid, the recipe will work. Perfect for simple crafting recipes.

Using Recipe Mods

To add custom recipes to Hytale:

  1. Generate your recipe JSON using this tool
  2. Create a mod folder structure
  3. Place the JSON in data/namespace/recipes/
  4. Add the mod to your Hytale mods folder
  5. Reload mods with /reload
