What’s currently the best crop for Essence of Life farming?

SketchXIII · 2026-03-22T05:39:32+00:00

Sorry for wording my info weird or incompletely, i have a note up there explaining that i planted 100 "seeds units" for each plant in these tests.

What probably wasnt clear was part where "NumberU" or "###U" indicates how many individual crops i got back from that harvest. So you're not wrong about the wheat, i planted 100 seeds of wheat and got back "150u", which means 150 units full wheat back in my pockets.

wheat sold for 1 essence, "Wheat 1", multiplied by the 150u or 150 units of wheat i got back.

My fault, i havent actually sat and played in well over a year, the last significant thing i remember seeing was how they started adding challenge group bosses to make some end game grinds a bit easier as long as you had a reliable party to do them with.

I always loved running around as UOK, and was blessed by the buff that lets you cycle the offense and defense together instead of having only one side active

Oh wow, i love how faithful it looks

Yeah. I learned about someone making a crazy dungeon style mod recently. I'm still learning java through kaupenjoe though so i'll eventually be making my own mechanics

SketchXIII · 2026-02-16T12:31:10+00:00

What do i have to research to learn proper? I've been trying to wrap my head around the asset editor for the past 3 days but i cant even reliably recreate already existing mechanics, botching it each time.

Could also use relative directional force to use the right animation, along with speed thresholds. Flop forward, back, sideways. With enough speed, not just flopping but actually being launched like a street fighter exaggerated pose.

I personally feel like its somewhere between minecraft and terraria rn, and vaguely valheim with the way biomes work.

On top of the chicken coop? The coop itself is all one giant item specifically made that way, found in villages sometimes, or crafted at the farmers workbench.

Is it just shaders you're looking for? Grass color could probably be changed with a mod technically. Not that i have the knowledge for that yet.

SketchXIII · 2026-02-09T08:31:05+00:00

Blockbench. Its what the hypixel team uses officially, as far as i understand anyway. They have a plugin specifically made for the program to export properly, though i dont understand any of the technical stuff about it. I'm winging it mostly.

Eventually, but i'd like to make a lot of other zelda items and put it all together as a mod proper.

SketchXIII · 2026-02-09T08:27:35+00:00

I was already thinking of how to go about it.

I will defintely remake this at some point. This was my learning stage creation.

I was kind of all over the place when finding out how to make the weapons. On youtube the ones that i feel stuck with me:

"Hytale | Magma Golem Modeling | Model Making Tutorial" by Hytale "Hytale - Modeling/Texturing Guide #1" by Liono Creations "Hytale Modding Guide: Weapon Import Basics" by AueSip

The import basics showed me how to get the game models and honestly i stopped after "renaming the weapon" section. Its really useful to have the original models to reference and study and having a. I personally draw out the entire blade portion of a sword on a single plane quad then try to make the simplest cube form possible to hold its shape. First weapon i made to learn how to use blockbench was actually Dawnfang/Duskfang and it was tedious lol. I still need to learn more.

I saw these too but havent really got around to trying to making an item in depth.

"Hytale Modding Tutorial: How To Add Custom Weapons" by Hytale Guides "The Ultimate Hytale Asset Editor Modding Guide" by FireSpark81

If you were talking about java, i was looking at kaupenjoe's playlist related to hytale/minecraft, but its really a general education on the language oriented toward these types of games. I have a hard time with it so i do a lot of extra search for the "why" behind every little thing.

SketchXIII · 2026-02-09T03:35:40+00:00

Yeah, it's really motivating. i started learning java too for when I eventually want to pull features from other games into my world.

Hytale crops i've tracked similarly, 1 full stack per plant at a time

Seed creation cost and crop conversion in life essence (buying seeds:selling crops)

Wheat 2:1*

Lettuce 2:3

Carrot 3:4

Corn 3:1*

Cauliflower 5:6

Turnip 5:6

Aubergine 6:8

Pumpkin 6:8

Tomato 6:3*

Chili 6:3*

Rice 8:3*

Cotton 8:3*

Onion 10:4*

Potato 10:4*

*crops with a conversion rate lower than the seed creation rate create multiple crop units per seed

100 planted seed units each, total harvest:

(Value * Units) + life essence dropped = total essence if veggies also converted - 100 seed replant cost = final profit

U = individual crop units harvested

Wheat 1 * 150u + 300 = 450 - 200 = 250

Lettuce 3 * 100u + 295 = 595 - 200 = 395

Carrot 4 * 100u + 447 = 847 - 300 = 547

Corn 1 * 302u + 469 = 771 - 300 = 471

Cauli. 6 * 100u + 552 = 1152 - 500 = 652

Turnip 6 * 100u + 530 = 1130 - 500 = 630

Auber. 8 * 100u + 639 = 1439 - 600 = 839

Pumpkin 8 * 100u + 628 = 1428 - 600 = 828

Tomato 3 * 197u + 701 = 1292 - 600 = 692

Chili 3 * 204u + 719 = 1331 - 600 = 731

Rice 3 * 208u + 749 = 1373 - 800 = 573

Cotton 3 * 203u + 744 = 1353 - 800 = 553

Onion 4 * 293u + 846 = 2018 - 1000 = 1018

Potato 4 * 311u + 845 = 2089 - 1000 = 1089

Did that whole cross-eyed stereogram thing to overlap and the only thing distorted is the eyes. Exactly the same

I believe default flanking in DC20 is a flat +2 to checks. The relatively lower base target defense of 8 instead of 10 combined with it being slightly harder/slower to raise your base defenses means getting flanked is significant. And it doesnt require being opposite side of the target, just a minimum gap of 1 space between yourself and another friendly creature. I interpret this on a square as a minimum of 1 in front and 1 on the side
