I looks like you plan to go the “normal”/old way of wood tools before stone tools. But it always kind of bugged me that you could make tools out of wood which could break stone.
So I’d have suggestion for this “tier” of tools. Why not go directly to stone?
But how do you make the stone tools then? Just as our ancestors would have. By hammering two rocks together. Also known as knapping. Find two rocks laying around on the floor and knap the tools you need.
(Btw this idea isn’t really mine, a MC modpack named Terrafirmacraft already did this to make MC a bit more realistic.)
Exactly this! And yes the basic tools would then be head and handle.
I mean technically only the pickaxe and maybe the axe would need to be made like that because only with those you could already aquire more ressources to make more complex tool if that’s what they want to go for.
Seems like we’d want loose stone as a block type (maybe just gravel, or replacing it), or the ability to mine stone by hand (very slowly). How did that mod do it?
In the mod you got sticks from destroying leaves and smaller stones and (normal) sticks were lying on the ground.
You would need at least 2 stones to knapp a weapon/tool head in a sort of “minigame”. Where you had a field of squares you could make shapes out of. I think it’s a 5x5 or 6x6 I’m not sure.
If you failed to make the right shape you would loose one stone and had to do it again.
Also 4 small stones would give a stone block you could place.
edit: A thing that is also nice in TFC, is that you could find small nuggets of a certain ore on the surface just like the smaller stones and you’d know that somewhere around the place in an undefined depth there was an ore vein of that type. But that doesn’t really have much to do with this topic^^ just wanted to add it.
what about coal? ive found and mined coal and ive seen nothing yet for recipe using it or list that notes its existence… perhaps im just bad at reading.
if anyone knows anything about coal please chime in~
What server did you find coal on? I know it was on the pre-alpha servers, but I’ve not seen it on the C++ ones yet. I’ve done a fair bit of hill climbing and spelunking and I’ve not run across it yet.
Any chance you can take a screenshot of the block?
This was actually a mistake. Ores are not supposed to be implemented at the moment. The blocks are actually generated as sapphires but for some reason drop coal when broken. I’m pretty sure there are no crafting recipes using coal currently. If there are it’s probably a bug. But hey, enjoy the leaked coal and semi complete sapphire textures!
