Hytale’s arrival in early access means a whole new world to discover and learn.
One of the crucial early-game items in Hytale is Rubble, because it’s used in crafting all sorts of items including Crude Tools that you need to begin your journey to riches and combat glory. Talk about your humble beginnings!
Before you can craft Adamantite or Mithril swords and pickaxes, it all begins with Rubble. Here’s how to get Rubble in Hytale.
Where to find Rubble in Hytale

Rubble is found scattered all over the ground in Hytale, but you just have to know what you’re looking for. The image above shows exactly what Stone Rubble looks like, and you must interact with it to pick it up (F on keyboard by default).
When crafting recipes call for “Any Rubble,” any kind of Rubble will do. So far, it seems like Stone Rubble is the most common, so keep your eyes on the ground and spam the F key to pick up Rubble as you walk over it to add it to your collection. I found a ton of Rubble on the ground while walking around the immediate area where I spawned in my own world.
With Rubble, you can craft a number of the basic early items in the game, such as:
- Campfire
- Crude Sword
- Crude Pickaxe
- Crude Hatchet
These items will all help you when starting out in your quest, so make sure to pick up Rubble if you come across it in your journey to find the best spot to build your home.
