Trying to wrangle animals in Hytale without them sprinting off into the wilderness can be rough. That’s where the Feed Bag comes in. This item lets you calm animals down and lure them exactly where you want them, instead of chasing them halfway across the world.

If you are building farms, setting up pens, or planning to capture animals for resources, this is the tool you want in your pocket.

Crafting a Feed Bag

The Feed Bag is crafted at a Farmer’s Workbench, which itself is crafted using a regular workbench, so make sure you have both set up first.

To craft a Feed Bag, you will need:

  • 10x Wheat

  • 5x Any Vegetable

  • 5x Any Fruit

  • 10x Essence of Life

Wheat can be collected by harvesting wheat crops you find while exploring or by growing your own on a farm. Once you have all the materials, interact with the Farmer’s Workbench and craft the Feed Bag.

How the Feed Bag Works

After crafting it, hold the Feed Bag in your hand and approach nearby animals. Instead of panicking and running off, animals will stay calm and may show heart icons. This means they are less skittish and much easier to work with.

You can also place the Feed Bag on the ground. When placed, it will attract nearby animals and draw them toward it, making it perfect for guiding animals into pens or controlled areas.

Best Ways to Use a Feed Bag

Feed Bags work especially well near enclosures. Place one close to a pen, let the animals gather, and calm them first. Once they are relaxed, use a Capture Crate to safely transport them.

Captured animals can be brought back to your base to farm resources like hides, wool, and eggs, saving you time and keeping everything organized.

Conclusion

The Feed Bag is one of those simple tools that quietly makes everything easier. Less chasing, less stress, and way more control over your animals. If you are planning to build farms or collect animal resources long term, crafting one early is absolutely worth it. Your future self, and your sanity, will thank you.
