Can You Tame Animals in Hytale?

You Cannot Tame Animals, But You Can Capture Them

Hytale Chicken Coop

As of writing, there is no way to tame animals in Hytale. Though it's possible that taming could be added in a future update, as the game is still in Early Access. While you can't tame animals in the game, you can still capture small animals.

Horses Can Be Mounted

Hytale Horse

You can mount and ride Horses that you encounter in the wild. To do this, approach a Horse and press the F key to mount it. Note that dismounting will cause the Horse to run away or wander, as there is no taming feature at the moment. We recommend placing blocks or fences around them so they don’t run away.

How to Capture Animals in Hytale

Craft a Capture Crate

Capture Crate.png

Using a Farmer’s Workbench, craft yourself a Capture Crate. This item requires 4 of any Wood and 50 Essence of Life. These materials should be common enough to find in your surroundings.

Press Left Click on a Small Animal

Once you have a Capture Crate, equip it and approach a small animal such as a Chicken, Rabbit, or Pig, then press Left Click to capture it. The captured animal will be indicated when the Capture Crate icon in your hotbar changes to show a chicken inside.

To release your captured animal, simply press Left Click again. This can be useful if you’re trying to build a farm and place the animals in one area.
