The '''Saw''' is a mechanical device used to processes certain blocks placed in front of it into other, more refined forms. It requires continuous [[Mechanical power]] to function, such as from a [[Windmill]] or a [[Water Wheel]]. It cannot be operated with the [[Hand Crank]], which only provides intermittent mechanical power. A powered saw can damage players, animals, and monsters that come into contact with its blade, making it an effective tool for use in traps and grinders. Inappropriate blocks such as [[Stone]] or [[Dirt]] will cause the saw to break when placed in the cutting block.

The Saw is a mechanical device used to processes certain blocks placed in front of it into other, more refined forms. It requires continuous Mechanical power to function, such as from a Windmill or a Water Wheel. A powered saw will damage players, animals, and monsters that come into contact with its blade, making it an effective tool for use in traps and grinders. Inappropriate blocks such as Stone or Dirt will cause the saw to break when placed against the blade.

Access to a saw allows the player to use higher efficiency recipes for crafting wooden objects, particularly Gears. Large projects requiring many wooden items can benefit greatly from this.

Automation

The saw can be used in automation to make:

  • Automated Wood processing, through the use of Block Dispensers
  • Automated Tree farming
  • Automated Vine farming
  • A damaging element of traps and mob grinders. Saws do not destroy drops, and when a mob is crushed between a Saw and a Chopping Block, they are guaranteed to drop their Heads if they have them as a possible drop.
