Hytale Ore Locations Guide - Find Every Ore
This guide covers where to find the most important ores in Hytale and how to plan efficient mining routes. Use it to save time and avoid empty cave runs.
Quick Ore Overview
Ore spawns vary by biome and depth. Early tiers like copper and iron appear in shallow caves, while higher tiers like thorium require deeper or more dangerous regions.
- Iron Ore - Common in most biomes, best found in underground caves near water.
- Copper Ore - Often appears in forest biomes and shallow cave networks.
- Thorium Ore - Concentrated in desert biome sandstone cliffs and deep caves.

Best Biomes for Mining
Each biome has unique ore density. Desert biomes are strong for mid-tier ores, while forest and plains are reliable for early progression. If you plan a long run, prioritize biomes with clustered cave systems to reduce travel time.
Bring extra torches and durability gear when heading into deeper caves. The cost of a failed run often outweighs the extra supplies you carry.
Mining Route Tips
- Follow cave water lines - Water sources often connect multiple ore-rich branches.
- Mark exits - Place markers or torches to avoid getting lost in large cave networks.
- Combine objectives - Mine ore while completing nearby quests to maximize each trip.
FAQ
Where is thorium ore in Hytale?
Thorium ore is most common in desert biomes, especially in sandstone cliffs and deeper cave layers.
What is the fastest ore to farm early?
Iron ore is the most reliable early resource because it spawns across most biomes and is easy to mine with basic tools.
Should I mine at night or day?
Daytime is safer for surface travel, but once you are in a cave, time of day has less impact than enemy density.
