Homesteadin for Hytale

What this mod does

Homesteadin, by KiriOfTheWoods, is a cooking and farm-life mod for anyone who wants eating in Hytale to be more than just restoring health. It adds 90 recipes, 3 fruit trees, 5 crop bushes and 3 new crops, with dishes that could exist in a medieval kitchen. Version 3.2.2, from August 28, 2026, is released for Update 6 (0.6).

What it adds

• Crafting stations: prep station, chef’s stove and oven, spice drying rack, hand mill, butter churn, juice press, fermentation baskets and barrels, still, beehives, well and composter.
• Crops: barley, beans, sugar cane, blueberries, grapes, tea, hops and lemon, orange and peach trees.
• Dishes: omelets, porridge, risotto, chili, soups, wraps, croissants, crepes, jams and cakes, plus juices, herbal teas, coffee, tea, wines and spirits.
• Kitchen furniture: countertops, a sink, open shelves and an icebox.

Ingredient buffs

Each ingredient type gives an effect: cooked meat and legumes regenerate health, vegetables raise max health, fruit regenerates stamina, sweets give speed, grains give defense and spices regenerate mana. Drinks last longer than food, and raw meat can poison you.

Before you install it

It requires the Patchly library. The author warns that a full overhaul of the mod is in the works and that animal husbandry will come later.

Checked on October 20, 2026: the author hasn’t yet released a file on CurseForge tagged for Hytale 0.7 (Update 7). We’ll check again and update this page as soon as it’s out.
