Tools

Tools are items used by the player to increase efficiency involved with certain actions, such as mining, and gather materials otherwise not obtainable by hand alone. Tools can be repaired using specific materials.

Crafting
All tools can be obtained through crafting. The example below uses Copper Ingots to make Copper Tools.

Breaking
Many blocks are broken using preferred tools, and some blocks, in the case of mining, can only be broken by using a pickaxe at a sufficient tier. Materials ranked from worst to best in terms of efficiency, or mining speed, are: wooden, stone, tin, copper, brass, bronze, iron, tungsten, silver, steel, platinum, cobalt, titanium, diamond, gold, adamantine, mithril, orichalcum, endium.

Durability
Tools have varying levels of durability, or how many blocks can be broken before the tool itself breaks. Materials ranked from worst to best in terms of durability are: gold, wooden, stone, tin, copper, brass, bronze, iron, tungsten, silver, steel, platinum, cobalt, titanium, diamond, adamantine, mithril, orichalcum, endium.

Tools used in incorrect fashions (i.e. using an axe to mine stone) lose durability more quickly than using it on its correct block type.
