You can now:

  • Tame passive animals

  • Ride certain mounts

  • Build livestock farms

  • Harvest renewable resources like milk, wool, eggs, moss, and manure

  • Lead animals back to your base

All animals listed below have been confirmed in Hytale Update 3 through direct gameplay testing and official update documentation.

How Animal Taming Works in Hytale Update 3

1️⃣ You Must Be in Adventure Mode

Taming does not work in Creative Mode.
You must play in Adventure Mode to trigger the taming system.

2️⃣ Approach and Press F

Walk up to a passive animal and press F.

The game will:

  • Show the required food item

  • Display a visual prompt

  • Allow immediate taming if correct food is equipped

There is no guessing system — the UI tells you exactly what the animal wants.

3️⃣ Feed Once to Tame

Unlike other survival games, you only need to feed the animal once.

After feeding:

  • Heart particles appear

  • The animal becomes tamed

  • It will no longer flee

4️⃣ Animals Follow You

After taming:

  • Animals follow you slowly

  • They can lag behind

  • They will attempt to catch up over distance

Pro Tip: Lead them into a fenced pen immediately.

5️⃣ Petting Requires an Empty Hand

To pet an animal:

  • Switch to an empty hand

  • Holding items cancels the interaction

Best Early Game Animals to Tame

🐎 Horse

Fast travel, essential for early exploration.

πŸͺ Camel

Great for desert biomes and stamina-based travel.

πŸ” Chicken

Easy to feed with corn.
Pairs with Chicken Coop for egg automation.

πŸ„ Cow & πŸ‘ Sheep

Provide renewable milk, wool, and manure for farming loops.

Advanced Farming Synergy Strategy

Update 3 introduced Sickles for mass harvesting crops.

Here’s how to combine farming + taming efficiently:

  1. Use a Sickle to mass-harvest corn.

  2. Use surplus corn to tame Chickens.

  3. Build Tier 3 Chicken Coops.

  4. Automate egg production.

  5. Expand into Cow and Sheep farming for renewable materials.

This creates a sustainable food + crafting ecosystem early in the game.

Map Marker Strategy (Multiplayer Advantage)

Update 3 also added custom map markers.

Smart strategy:

  • Mark taming hotspots

  • Share coordinates with guild members

  • Track rare spawns like Mouflon or Mosshorn clusters

This is especially powerful in multiplayer survival servers.

Animals You Cannot Tame

Based on testing:

  • Mice cannot be tamed

  • Hostile mobs remain untameable

  • Void Dragon cannot be tamed in Update 3

Taming is limited to passive wildlife.
