No matter where you’re from or what you enjoy or who you are, we all have to eat.
The same can be said for survival video games like Hytale. If you don’t eat, your stamina and life will drain, and that means potential death and losing whatever items you have on you. And nothing tastes better than meat (sorry, vegetarians), so it’s time to lure animals to their death.
It’s not all meat, though, because animals drop other useful items like feathers, leather, and other crafting materials you’ll need. So, with this in mind, here’s how to lure animals to you in Hytale.

How to lure animals in Hytale

In Hytale, you can lure animals with a Feed Bag. To craft a Feed Bag, you first need the Farmer’s Workbench, which can be crafted at a Builder’s Workbench. Here are all of the necessary crafting recipes to get a Feed Bag.
Builder’s Workbench recipe
- Any Tree Trunk – 6
- Any Stone – 3
Farmer’s Workbench recipe
- Any Tree Trunk – 6
- Plant Fiber – 20
Feed Bag recipe

- Wheat – 10
- Any type of vegetable – 5
- Any type of fruit – 5
- Essence of Life – 10
- This can be found in just about any part of the map. Destroying trees, animals, enemies, grass, and all sorts of natural flora and fauna will occasionally drop this green ball of crafting material.
Once you’ve crafted your Feed Bag, place it down in an open area, and watch from afar as different animals start to show up for some food. Just like lamb to the slaughter (are there lambs in Hytale?) like nature intended.
This item is useful for when you want to passively find animals to kill or to even bring into your newly-built farm area. All farms need animals, and the Feed Bag is perfect for bringing them to where you want them to be to enlist them into a life of servitude.
Lettuce method
If you grow or find Lettuce, you can also use it to lure certain animals that you want to try to domesticate. Try holding the Lettuce out in front of animals like pigs or cows and they will follow you for some time, while also occasionally getting distracted and stopping.
