Tools and Weapons

From Better Than Wolves

Tools and Weapons are some of the most important items in the game. They break blocks and deal more damage than by hand, are required to harvest some blocks, or perform some actions like fishing. As the player progresses through the game, more tools become available to them.

Tools that are not weapons lose 2 durability instead of one for each hit when used to hit a mob.

Early ways to store items in the world.Tools and weapons into blocks, Wicker Baskets, ore and bricks on the ground, Shaft in dirt, Item Frames, meat on Campfires.

  • Non-tool weapons lose 2 durability each time they are used to break blocks.
  • Non-weapon tools lose 2 durability whenever they are used to deal damage.
