HYTALE GUIDE

Hytale Ores – Locations, Zones & Required Pickaxe

Every Hytale ore, listed roughly in the order you will find them (weakest first). For each one: which zones it is in, which rock it spawns in, the pickaxe you need to mine it, and what you can craft with its ingots. Smelt ore in a Furnace to turn it into ingots.
