What is the Hytale Capture Crate?
It is a reusable tool specifically designed to temporarily store and transport small or juvenile animals in Hytale. After capturing an animal, it remains there safely inside the crate until you choose to release it at your desired location. With this tool, it eliminates the frustration of trying to lead animals across the map.
Also, take note that the Capture Crate has only one purpose which is to safely transport the animals. This cannot tame animals, breed them, or provide any other functionality beyond moving caged animals.
How to Craft the Capture Crate
You can get the Capture Crate during the early-to-mid game farming progression. Simply access the Farmer’s Workbench at a Tier 2 crafting station. Once you have the Workbench setup, interact with the menu and proceed to the Farming section.
There are only two materials needed for the crafting recipe which are: 4 Wood of any type and 50 Essence of Life. To get Wood, just chop down trees anywhere in the game world. On the other hand, the Essence of Life requires you to gather it by harvesting crops and breaking down vegetation like wheat.
After collecting these materials, just craft the Capture Crate from the Farming tab which is at your Farmer’s Workbench. The crate should appear in your inventory and place it in your hotbar for quick access.

Instead, it only allows you to capture the baby versions of it like pigs, sheep, cows, goats, horses, bison, and more.

Currently, there are several animal types that you cannot capture at all such as bats, birds, snakes, snails, fish, crabs, lobsters, tortoises, and more.
