Where to find Hytale plant fiber

Obviously you get plant fiber in Hytale from plants. Shocker, I know. When you first spawn, and leave the building you start in, bushes like the one's above will be your best bet to get started quickly.

If you can't find those, then out in the wider world these little bushes below are also very common and a plentiful source of fiber in the plains and wooded areas:

You'll also often get fiber when you cut down a tree - chop the bottom most part of a single block truck and you'll fell the entire tree at once and usually get some plant fiber among all the wood and sap.

There are lots of different biomes in Hytale though, all with their own plant life. So what do you need to look for when you can't see anything like the bushes above? The short answer is to look out for any sort of plant that has detailing or a texture rather than a single blank and featureless color like grass. It'll also need to have no fruit or flowers as you'll harvest those instead when hitting it. Here are a couple more examples of plants that give you fiber:
