Best Location to Find Tree Sap in Hytale

The best place to find Tree Sap in Hytale is an area with a bountiful amount of trees, particularly near the wooden forest area where you start in the world.
Tree Sap is obtained by destroying trees in Hytale, and unlike Minecraft, where one block is destroyed at a time, removing a level of blocks from a tree results in all the blocks above it being destroyed. By targeting this mechanic, you can quickly gather an ample supply of Wood and Tree Sap, along with other materials.
Using an Axe is the best way to harvest trees for materials, including Tree Sap, but you can also just punch a tree block, or use another weapon, to destroy it. While it does take longer, it means you are unlikely to get stuck in a situation where you desperately need to harvest a tree and can’t do so.

Given it’s multitude of uses, it’s always worth hanging onto any Tree Sap you find in Hytale and storing it away for use whenever it might be required.
What is Tree Sap Used For in Hytale?
The first use of Tree Sap you are likely to encounter in Hytale is for Torches, which can be held in your hand during exploration or stuck to the environment to provide a light source.
Other light sources, including Candles and Lanterns, also require Tree Sap as an ingredient, so it’s a vital material to have in your possession whenever you go on a mining adventure in case you run short of Torches and lights to place.
