Tool Damage

Is the wear and tear on AOE tools based on the number of times it is swung ,the number of blocks it makes contact with each time, or the number of blocks it actually breaks each time?
I’m asking because sometimes I aim so only 6 or 3 blocks break and wonder if I’m “wasting” the tool’s durability when I break less than 9.

i think its based off of how many times swinged

It need to hit something to drain tear, swinging in the air do not count.

But i do not think there are any difference if You hit 1 or 9 blocks, but not 100% on that.

No take a brand new hammer and swing it in the air you will see the wear bar drop from blue to yellow. So it does not have to make contact.

Just did this and stayed blue…, have a stack as i was gathering gleam.

A hammer?
Not all tools do it.

Hmm somethings changed, weird.

Well that’s good that used to bother me.

I remember a patch post from James, where he said they fixed the bug that tools get damage when swinging in the air.

That post is probably still on here in patch posts somewhere, if anyone get patient to look for it.
